Gibberings CXXXXI: Gibber Me Timbers

[F.U.B.A.R.]

sure, dive on in - its a big pile.. and dont think im saying it for the sake of reciprocity (you know i dont particularly care who here likes me) but your location is probably the best on eadd, aside from the CHUFFING MOONJUICE guy, naturally

Yeh, I like the 'Chuffing Moonjuice' one as well

I was pissing it up around Europe at 24 with no desire to buy a house either. However once you start working ( last time I checked unemployment in Britain was less than 8%, so still the majority) it only takes a little bit of discipline to start paying off a mortgage.

It takes more than discipline to raise the deposit.
Having a job does not = able to afford a mortgage.

Anyone who doesn't currently have a mortgage, or anyone under the age of 30 will struggle to get one. Its a fact. You can say what you like but thats the way it is.

The employment figures are heavily massaged anyway.

But I return to the original point : massive catastrophic manmade climate change can't be prevented by everybody rushing out to buy solar panels [ not sure what people living in flats would even do with them ]
The regulations you speak of regarding new buillds are pretty much in place anyway and i'm sure you know when you buy or even rent a place now you will be informed of it energy efficiency, this will influence some when making a decision about where to live.

But this is not enough. To prevent our world becoming unlivable requires a massive effort from the powers that be and the industries that fund their election campaigns [ and therefore call the shots ].
They are not making this effort, they seem willfully oblivious to the dangers we face.

They are failing the people that voted them in. To shift all responsibility for an issue so complex and global to us mere consumers strikes me as Stockholm syndrome. As you said, we all have a part to play, we all bear some responsibility, but so do they....

There are plenty of houses out there for less than £100000, it's a buyers market. You might not be able to be fussy but buy one as an investment, have a tenant in and you get your foot in the market. You talk about saving for a deposit but I bet a lot of your mates have dropped that much or more on a car that is more than they need. It takes discipline sure, but if you have a partner suddenly the costs are halved. You don't even need to be sleeping with them. I know brothers who started together and now own multiple properties paying for themselves.

Now we can add to this list

He has friends with solar panels.


What a guy

Bwahahahahhaha

nigella is too big in the tits and arse dept.

 

[Allein]

Pretty much o part of , quote the posts or wind it in and go join you so very moral comrades over in the lounge

 

[Mailmonkey]

I've never seen the EADD bitching staff thread.

 

[badandwicked]

OTW always gets it wrong but I love to watch him trying.

Trying sooo hard.

You'll have to remind me what the exchange rate is but I might have a €10 stashed away in a kids money box

you think im too proud to accept charity...? hahaha

the things you could make me do on the board for a hundred quid are quite frankly abhorent to consider. especially as thats probably half a root-canal to you, or half a night out perhaps. though dont get me wrong.. you flew halfway round the world to get where you are and probably deserve every last ounce of gold filling you strip out of unknowing, anaesthetised old mouths. enjoy it



get an envelope ready, i'll pm you when i run out of food, which is usually three or four days after payday. srs. kthx *mwah /guilttrip

If you're on about if staff bitch about other BLers, I'm afraid not - When I was a mod we would bitch about all yooz cunts till the super secret squizzles came home

I really don't get the obsession we have in this country with 'buying a house'. Let's face it, the only time you're gonna benefit is when you 'downsize' - and that rarely happens. Most people spend their lives with a mortgage around their necks, only to have to eventually sell it to pay for their carehome, or even worse, leave to to their lazy bastard kids so they don't have to bother with all that 'mortgage' bollox. Fuck that, I'd rather pay rent and have all my maintenance and repairs done fer nowt.

 

[justinsayno]

Yeah houses are cheaper up north. I already knew that. Not quite the same in london / south east. I'm bored of this now. For one i don't share the middle class obsession with mortgages and house prices anyway. I got rid of mine years ago and haven't regretted it once.
Your general argument seems to be that the people [ and there are millions of them ] that don't have money and are struggling in the current climate are doing so because they are lazy and made bad choices.
I see no point trying to debate this with you because, IME, people like yourself [ and yes im making some huge assumptions here ] generally don't see that things are a little more complex than that until something unexpected brings hardship to your door.

There's a word for people like you.
We call them Tories. Its not a good look



edit - if i'd seen what FURBAR had written i wouldntve bothered with all that waffle.

 

[badandwicked]

I agree FUBAR. Its like in this country if you don't own your own home you're a second class citizen, you don't have access to priviliges home owners do and you're not protected by the law. Needs to change.

Nigellas back on the market. Skinny women age and look haggard faster, Nigella will still look alluring in 10 years time.

she doesn't look alluring to me now, she never has, she's (sexually anyway) a female Ainsley Harriot, all shite innuendo, and gurning suggestively for the camera.

 

[parttime crackhead]

I'm really sorry, hope that your solicitor can help in some way. It's kind of double rollover wrong place wrong time (with a dash of wrong speed...) Don't really see why this amuses anyone as it has real world implications but wishing you all the best innit.

I'm pretty sure Knock can appreciate us having a laugh at the first half of the story at least. Tripping out his bin, running away from a man, trying and failing to scale a fence. I was fucking pissing myself there until I got to the end, where I admit it does turn out pretty shitty.

I hope everything turn out for the best Knock. I also hope that you haven't said "ITS NOT FUNNY AT ALL! NOT EVEN THE FIRST BIT" later in this thread. I've only just got in and can't be bothered reading the rest. Also, someone has probably pointed this out but I'm pretty sure I can remember reading a post from you this morning where you'd failed to get to sleep so decided to double drop more AL-LAD, that might be where it went tits up mate.

 

[Cornishman]

Skinny crackwhores ftw

 

[Mailmonkey]

sorry FUBAR I was attemting an advanced mod-move (merging posts) and i ended up merging your double post and moving it elsewhere....

here it is, even though it's out of sequence now.

maybe you'll think more carefully before double-posting in future, eh? Eh?

Nope, that still doesn't make sense to me...



So, so true.....

fucking hell, I've lost some of it so it doesn't make any sense at all now.

sorry mate, one of them tings, i doubt you said anything important i've lost anyway...

Skinny crackwhores ftw

fucking IRIE %)

 

[BlindHelperMonkey]
