If you laid all the world's economists from end to end, they would all still be wrong.

Embargoes are off.. Good news, another stake in the heart of the vampire landlord. https://www.generationrent.org/government_will_scrap_section_21

No, you only need a gun safe if you own guns and want to keep them on your premises. You can still get a licence and own guns stored at a gun club.

Yeah didn't think so.. but Hoogstraten being a premier client of that group would totally fit. I'm not au fait with county courts but would be surprised if they have powers for directing arrests for anything (other than a warrant for non-attendance maybe, but anything criminally serious enough for that would likely be in Crown Court).

I have no idea if this is the case in question but given that the landlord is Hoogstraten and the claimant Raja is dead, i'm prepared to believe it fits. http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2018/3261.html

Foxton's holding up surprisingly well today, but some others are breaking through points they previously held..

I met Gove once. He's the most compelling evidence I've seen that David Icke might be right. "Dammit Xxarburg, you messed up the lips again, and that wasn't even the worst of it."

“The creatures outside looked from wife to man, and from man to wife, and from wife to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” (with apologies to George Orwell..)

Excellent, the war is descending into the divisions into old landlords good, new landlords bad, battle lines are being drawn and the escalation down to the bottom is hotting up. “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

I wonder if Terry Pratchett knew of him - sounds like the inspiration for Foul Ole Ron.. https://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Foul_Ole_Ron

A periodic reminder of the share profile since floating, which will surely soon be the poster child lamenting the ridiculous folly of investing in a company that has no talent and produces nothing of value.

came for the disorderly collapse of the UK housing market, stayed for the chippy tea.

I'm guessing having the share price crash 95% is going to mean all that 'goodwill' needs to be written down a tad.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Not necessarily. The amendment would become part of the bill, but would not become law until it achieved Royal Assent. There are a number of routes available. The bill could pass and government advises the Queen not to provide Royal Assent (unlikely). The government counter-amend on a confidence motion (possible) And they could withdraw the bill entirely and start again (most likely, but verifiable evidence of a government that is unable to govern). As to your next comment I think we can both agree that mixing up homophones is a common and momentary lapse in concentration, and bears no correlation with evidence (or otherwise) of education or intellect. As it happens I agree with your conclusion that Brexit cannot legislatively be delivered in the available timescales. I watch with interest to see what actually happens in March next year.

chin up, don't let the bastards grind you down. Protect yourself and those you love, what's coming will be still be talked about in history books in 500 years time. Assuming the species survives that long, obviously.

Humans are mainly awful, and children are just humans who haven't learned to hide the excessive awfulness yet. Nasty, brutish and short, as the chap in my avatar said. Anyway, after news spread of that little incident I never had any issue with bullying again.

I'm sure the 2 lads at school who repeatedly called me a fat **** while attempting to flush my head down the bog were only doing out of heartfelt concern for my health and wellbeing. Of course the immediate advantage of being a fat **** was that rather than being trapped in a toilet cubicle with them, they were trapped in there with me. I expect they got the blood off the ceiling eventually.

A good day to bury bad news, with the Heathrow announcement. So only another 9 tranches of £3bn (minimum) losses to go. After the 2nd or 3rd time it won't even get a byline in the FT when it happens. Then later on they can quietly liquidate the remainder of the holding and hand it back to the new, improved GOODBANK RBS. Trebles and directorships all round.

As always, Daily Mash nails it http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/celebrity/we-go-to-the-maldives-and-the-children-go-to-pontins-says-kirstie-allsopp-20180605173899

I completely misread that as lickbacks and that picture of Ros and her dog surfaced in my mind. It's right put me off my dinner.

The Bank of England has said the UK economy has hit a "temporary soft patch" An interesting euphemism for ******* the bed.

Take heart mon amis, my search area is showing massive falls, massive increases in supply and massive reductions all over the shop. It's on like donkey kong.

Let them drink White Lightening.
