  1. Very clever. I once saw an ice cube made out of paper. That was the coolest thing I've ever seen made out of paper
  2. You can come and wash mine for me! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Thanks for the offer, but on this occasion I'll have to decline
  3. I'm cleaning my imaginary one See you guys tomorrow
  4. Look for a guy called 'hardridden' on eBay. Loads of members of another forum I'm on have used him. Would highly recommend him
  5. Sounds like you have a plan. If I could have my life again, I probably would've bought a house at a younger age, instead of spending tens of thousands on cars. I would've loved to have been through 3 or 4 properties by now and made money on each after refurbishing them, but I didn't. Too late for me to be doing that now as it wouldn't be fair to uproot family each time. Having said that, when we bought this house, it was in a poor condition, which we repaired and it's doubled in value since we bought it. Family are growing now, so need a bigger house which is why we are moving. I also want to be closer to work
  6. We're planning on moving soon. A 400k house is still out of my reach. I consider my wages to be an adequate amount, but being the only earner in my family means that we can't set our sights too high. We are in our first house still at the moment. I think realistically you have to ride the housing market. 2 or 3 more moves, and a few years later, who knows we could be in a half million pound house, but it's a big aim for a first time buyer. People's circumstances are different though. We have 3 kids, so my wife stays home and takes care of them and the house. Another couple might not have kids, and therefore they could both be bringing in a wage, which in turn doubles their buying power. As for percentage of wages for mortgage. I try to stick with what I was told years ago. 1 weeks pay or a quarter of your monthly salary on monthly mortgage payments. Personally I wouldn't want to be tying up 50% of my salary on a mortgage, especially as interest rates are still very low, and are set to start rising next year. A 1% rise will make a huge difference to your monthly payments. Just keep your sensible head on when signing up to anything.
  7. Ugh? Every pub in the country then
  8. Nice If that came up for sale in a months time I might have been interested
  9. Or Friend.............
  10. and can't spell 'whose' by the looks of it Yeah ok, you win
  11. I have a friend who's mother....always presses the post button twice
  12. With 370Z written in black down the side of it. Heading towards Brampton hut/ Huntingdon on the A14 eastbound at 6.00am this morning. Looked like the one that was for sale on here a few months back
  13. It's starting to sound like....... My best mates aunties husbands mum got to screw the last wheel nut in on the 44th one to be built. All interesting facts though, that generations before us got to work on such lovely aircraft.
  14. Yeah sorry, my bad. I realised after I posted. Been a long day
  15. Yep I think they do taxi runs but no flying sadly. My dad flew in them in the 70s out of RAF Marham in Norfolk. My grandad got a medal for working on these at RAF Marham in the 50's. Lovely machines
  16. R.I.P Rik You made us all laugh
  17. Used to love watching it flying at air shows each year. Seen it flying over here once or twice in recent years
  18. Probably got one of his mates to bid to see what the previous bid was up to, then retract it, quite common on ebay. Ah ok. I was beginning to think I was going mad
  19. Strange. Bidding was above £3000 when I last looked last night. It's now back to £2100
  20. Jesus, you had a lucky escape there mate. Not a nice thing to go through I'm sure, but happy that you're here to tell the tale. People driving whilst on the phone really wind me up too.
  21. that's because 90% of what the seller has said is not true If the for sale add was done right he'd have no problem selling it. But for me I'd be worried about something hidden Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah, that's why I took no notice of what was written. I must admit I was going on the pics alone as the rest of the ad is a joke. I'll listen to my head, not my heart. Move along, nothing to see here
  22. I've just been asked how much I would be prepared to pay for it to end sale early. I did ask them, they didn't just ask me that out the blue. Are you guys saying to walk away? Ricey, you've put that element of doubt in my mind now. I guess the old saying "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is", comes into play here.
  23. He's taking the Mick because you put Cradiff instead of Cardiff
  24. Steve, I've been updating the pub as people have confirmed, as it's also Fathers Day the pub has been taking seep rate bookings too... We're all meeting at the pub, this said a few customers we had in today we're arranging convoys to the pub... They're gonna be well busy What time shall we get there for....11?
