I think she's implying you're gay....

What a load of tosh, KGS is far better than Tiffins. We used to regularly beat up the tiffin pansies at the bus stop back in the days. Thanks.

Any thoughts on the rate going down to 1.07 Euro to the £ in the next week or so? The volatility is shocking. Can't seem to read the market right.

HSBC is probably the worst high st. bank to have a foreign currency account with. I closed mine down last week as they insisted on a 1% euro cash handling charge. When I queried as to how they could justify this chage, their retort was that it took "time to count and process the euro cash" and hence the charge. In light of the fact that I deposited 20k euros made up of only 40 notes (each of 500 euro denomination), I am left in no doubt these guys are lazy good for nothings! More so they charge about 4 euro a month to maintain the account. I just opened one up with Barclays - no handling nor monthly charge. I'm not sure if the £50k gaurantee still applies.

Have a look at what I won last week on ebay. Have seen these in the flesh as a friend bought a pair. Real good stuff and made from aniline leather. I got it for just slightly over cost price. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=200297178515

The trials and tribulations of "manoo cat" and the "super Chuddy man". boo...

Hi Folks, I've been reading this forum for some time now but this is my first post. I would appreciate your input in the following situation. My parents are looking at houses in the Coombeside are and really seem keen on this one; http://www.findaproperty.com/displayprop.a...p;agentid=00491 The question is that i'm finding it tricky putting a "semi-accurate" figure on it in this housing climate. What should the ceiling price be? Should one wait another 6 months or so or is there danger of missing the boat? Any input would be greatly appreciated. My parents are moving back from abroad so there is no rush to buy and they come with a substantial depo. Thank you.
