  1. I once tried to iron a badly mangled section of a VHS tape in the hope it would allow a better viewing experience following a getting it out of an broken old Amstrad front-loader mishap. Of course I just ended up with a melted tape. Using that iron is the only time I have ever ventured into Mrs XYY's domain, and I shall not make that mistake again... XYY
  2. Wasn't really a Sale as such, but because last night I'd foolishly allowed Mrs XYY to drink one of my bottles of Newcy Brown, I was forced to send her up the CO-OP to get me four more. Imagine my delight when she phoned and said "Sorry to bother ya pet, but there's a turkey crown here that's gotta be cooked today and they only want seven quid for it. I've reckon I've got just enough money to get it for you if I get the bus back instead of a taxi, might even manage a box of Paxo if I get off two stops from home..." God I love that woman... XYY
  3. Wow, tits are a fascinating subject, but desperation theft is the topic and I have a tale to tell. The biggest rise in petty theft I have heard of recently from people whom I know and trust aren't involving 'chavs' or 'pikeys', but what I assume are 'decent hard-working families'. People in a large local factory who leave their packed-lunch on the tables in the works' canteen are often finding their scran has been stolen come dinner-time. Occurrences like this have shown a dramatic increase in recent months, and I find this behaviour a frightening example of how low we are sinking in these troubled times. Still, it's Christmas, and BBC4 are playing out the end-of-the-world on Friday night with 3 hours of Slade programmes, so mustn't grumble... XYY
  4. Elderly people were brought up in a world where when someone knocked at the door you invited them in and offered them hospitality. A telephone itself, and any call made on one was a sign of status and importance - my grandparents were like this. And many of them never get visitors and simply let sales people in for rare chance of someone to talk to. The above traits make them very vulnerable to any high-pressure ass-hole in a suit, someone pretending to be from the council or any other low-life who feeds on the vulnerable and weak. And often they end up in fear once they start getting pressured for their signature and sign just to get the scumbag out of the house. Like me, you probably have the physical ability and confidence to deal with anyone dumb enough to try ripping you off. But there will come a time in your life when that will no longer the case my friend, and I suspect at that point your views may change. XYY
  5. Mrs XYY spent about £250, a good proportion of which she kindly invested in my beer. I spent the entire period pissed. And watching TV shows telling me how nice Jimmy Savile was.... XYY
  6. I'm a bit concerned how much abuse we're giving this woman - I think we should all cleaver alone... XYY
  7. So when exactly did Roy Wood live in this place then...? XYY
  8. No worse than what we've got already Mr IRPOF - the notion that we have lots of inspectors snooping round with their magnifying glass and bumbling side-kick exists only in the TV drama. 99% of plod are thick as shit and couldn't find a criminal at a Tory Party Convention. Procedure and luck play a part, but most crimes are solved by us the public giving them information, or "grassing" if you're on that side of the fence. Oh, and of course technology and fast cars for those extracting money with menaces from the motorist. Besides - if the work experience bairns nab a few villains, we may hear the immortal line "...and I've have gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for those pesky kids..!!!" And that my friend HAS to be a good thing... XYY
  9. Medals...? You were lucky..!!! We got milk-bottle lids on 't length of string...before Seb Coe thrashed us and sent us to bed. XYY
  10. The 40's/50's Labour Party nationalised lots of industries to pay for the NHS and Welfare State. This worked until there weren't any left to nationalise. The 70's/80's Tory Party privatised them and sold them off to foreigners to pay for the NHS and Welfare State. This worked until there weren't any left to privatise. Both of their modern counterparts wish they could repeat these tricks when they get their chance to scoff from the big trough, but they both have the same problem. Unfortunately, there's little left of any value to repeat the cunning stunts of their predecessors. Oh wait - on paper at least, the "value" of UK housing stock could keep it going at least until the North Sea oil and gas run out. If only they could figure out a way of unlocking all that equity....it'll be party 'til it's 2029 XYY
  11. Er, there are other possibilities Pebbs - one of which is that they could just be Northerners. I can buy a crappy house for 1x my income in my part of the world, and a canny one if I went to 3.5x my income of £35,000. And now I've finally gone all modern and allowed Mrs XYY to work part-time, she adds another £5,000 to the pot which would probably cover the mortgage, or a fair size chunk of it. It's certainly been paying our rent for the last 2 years. No Kids. No Tax Credits. No word of a lie. The truth, as always from XYY... XYY
  12. Why 6 at the top...? How do you know this...? And can you name any/all of the six...? Please tell us more and show us what a clever Count you can be... XYY
  13. That strikes me as an excellent idea for a thread on the off-topic forum - just how David Icke are you...??? I would say I'm somewhere between 30 and 40% David Icke - assuming we aren't using David Icke as Cockney Rhyming Slang for something He was one of the people who made me start thinking a little differently, and I've probably been as high as 80% David Icke when I first discovered his website and also when I went to see him at Brixton in 2006. He is certainly entertaining, and seems pretty much bang on about bankers and politicians, but the lizards and differrent dimensions do take some swallowing, and although I can't disprove what he says, I think the man on the Clapham Omnibus would generally reject his more far-out ideas. But most of us on this forum must be at least a little David Icke, and I'll wager a few are more David Icke than they would care to admit - to paraphrase a current TV commercial, you're so David Icke, you don't even know it...!!! XYY
  14. Spot on, and revealing of a perculier trait of some hpcers. They claim to want a crash, and yet jump into paying a king's ransom for some fairly basic property 'darn sarf' simply becasue they regard paying 20K less than the last sucker as some kind of wisdom. Well here's the truth folks, I don't care where it is, or how nice the twigs in vases look, there is no way your average family home should cost any more than 90-100K anywhere in the UK. End of. And paying more simply feeds the madness. Any UK citizen should be able to aspire to, and acheive, an affordable home for them and their family. The crash you are claiming to want is only happening when that is the case. And you should not buy a property until that time comes. Any other course of action simply delays the inevitible, and hurts your children - the very people you often cite as the justification for why you are doing it. Hopefully this will be figured out by the time my grand-children's generation become decision-makers. As for me, I now accept that I'll never see it in my lifetime - and that is the negative side of all the positive things I have learned in my time as an hpcer. XYY
  15. If popular TV culture is any yardstick, it seems that you can avoid the lynching by moving to a village and being the only gay. XYY
  16. Agreed. But this process has made Smart Price Corned Beef even better - there's at least half an inch more of that delicious meaty lard at the top end of the beefy slab nowadays. Mmmmmmmmmmmm...!!! XYY
  17. Today's mildly interesting and close enough to the topic to bore you with it anecdote: In our less multi-cultural history, unless an Army recruit answered "Roman Catholic" when asked his religion, no matter what his reply - but especially if atheist - the sergeant would simply reply "Church of England" and fill the form in to that effect. Wow - imagine that... (Er, actually I probably did imagine it...) X Y Y Y X Y Y Y X
  18. Oh yes. Though Mrs XYY pushed me into it - but then she has always been a bit of a social climber. We've got all the utilities - water AND toilet paper - and we'll be getting BBC2 and ITV in September when they switch our analogue on. Still not sure about her new-fangled twigs in a vase though... XYY
  19. Fear ye not Chuffster - pick any of them beauties in County Durham on ya rightmove links, and I'll protect ya. In fact, one next door to me is currently up for £55,000 - but I know they only paid £28,000 for it, so you can now bid 'em down due to my insider knowledge Now, shall we discuss my fee....? XYY
  20. ffnnnnaaaarrrrrr ffnnaaaaarrrrr !!! You two are starting to sound like Mrs XYY when she's been reading that Fisty Spades Of Gay... XYY
  21. If you were a woman, I'd pop round yours and - with your permission - shag you senseless, you sexy conspirational minx... X Y-aye Man PS - If you're a gadgey, then tell no-one of this.
  22. On the 5th day of August Erranta gave to me Twelve Dukes a Dodging Eleven Peers Pilfering Ten Lords a Leeching Nine Lady-Boys Dancing Eight-y million Mugs for Milking Several Sirs a Stealing Sixty Years Of Greek Prince Philip FIVE OLYMPIC RINGS Four Buy-to-Lets Three French Whores Two Toots of Coke And a Second Home in Chelsea... XYY PS - looking foward to you revealing the lesser known Masonic verses starting with THIRTY-THREE somethings doing a something Mr Erranta... ;-)
  23. I will not waste my time trying to explain to you why you are wrong on so many levels, but the fact remains sir that you are. What I will tell you is that statements like that have a habit of coming back and haunting you many years later in life. There but for the grace of god go all of us my friend, and a little compassion for life's unfortunates will keep Madam Kharma happier than a bit of self-righteous, man-in-the-pub style dogma. A run of bad luck, ill-health, divorce or unemployment can put even the best people in the shit through little fault of their own, and the day any of those events tap you on the shoulder is when you may find out for yourself why you are wrong. But feel free to live in your delusional little world until such time as it falls in around your head - then perhaps you'll see the true extent of your self-proclaimed "self-management" skills. I genuinely, truly and sincerely hope you never have to find out... XYY
  24. Minority...??? There are well over 50 million of us in the UK who don't live in London. And plenty of us - myself included - gave it a go in our teens/early twenties and quickly realised what a shit-hole it was and headed home at the first opportunity. The place in full of every type of cut-throat low-life who only care about themselves, and will shaft anyone who they perceive as "weaker" than them. It's like a giant version of that space port in Star Wars - the location of choice for every spiv and criminal in the galaxy and like Mr Khards, I'd not live in that festering turd if you paid me. And if that makes me sad, then so be it. XYY
