brianjamesos Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I have experienced this several times now with Windows Explorer 8, however it is resolved if you go to the Options tab, to the right-hand side of the thread title, and select Standard in the Display Mode section. I was using Chrome, but deleting history seemed to do the trick as the other lad said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormymonday_2011 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Your flights dear?A bit like your home that isnt really yours until you pay off the mortgage? A bit like your husband who spends more time with the secretary than you? Meh, she the editor of SAGA, probably wants us ingrate yoofs to subsidise Ryanair too so she can live out her dribbly years sweating balls while her haggard folds of loose skin turn an even deeper shade of red. Steady the Buffs This is Churchill's grandaughter you are talking about. BTW she divorced her husband in 1989 and as far as I can tell never remarried. http://www.thepeerage.com/p10628.htm#i106280 http://www.guardian.co.uk/theobserver/2002...ures.magazine77 Edited August 20, 2009 by up2nogood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seba Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 If you own a house in France the French law on inheritance applies to it, wherever you are domiciled. Even if it's a holiday home, when you pop your clogs, there are rules about who gets what proportion of it (or its price, if sold). You cannot disinherit any of your children. You cannot leave the lot to a home for cats. Think on. There are quite a few ways round this though - eg setup a property holding company, an 'SCI'. The company owns the property, and shares in the company itself are then owned by whoever you want to inherit the property (eg bypassing children and favouring grandchildren) You can do things such as reduce inheritance tax liability by annually increasing your ownership of the SCI etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levoleurdefruits Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Owning a second holiday home is an interessting situation.. I love the idea of owning a ski chalet or a house on the beach in sardinia etc etc but the reallities have always put me off... how do you manage it, do you rent it out, how much will the running costs be, what happens when tree falls down, how do you know the cleaner and gardener are reliable etc etc etc.... when I thought about all these things it occurred to me that when I went on holiday to a house I owned the likelihood is I would spend quite a bit of the holiday doing things related to the house, and that during the year I would end up spending probably more than I would have done had I rented say for a couple of weeks skiing or a couple of weeks on the beach etc....... the only argument for it financially would have been the capital gain, but in that case I could have got probably as good (or bad ) prospects within a better tax situation by just having a more expensive principal residence.... I still don't get the logic behind owning a holiday home.. I understand the emotion just not the logic. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VedantaTrader Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 TelegraphNot sure how much sympathy she will elicit from ryanair by mocking them. Looking at past quotes he does seem like someone who will be deeply hurt by these comments We need a recession. We have had 10 years of growth. A recession gets rid of crappy loss-making airlines and it means we can buy aircraft more cheaply. Michael O'Leary Saying a recession could kill off all but four of Europe's airlines, November 3, 2008. We would welcome a good, deep, bloody recession for 12 to 18 months. We need one if we are going to see off some of this environmental nonsense that has become so popular among the chattering classes. Michael O'Leary His hope that a recession will dissuade governments from introducing green taxes, February 2008. In economy no frills; in business class it'll all be free - including the blowjobs. Michael O'Leary The Ryanair chief's plans for a transatlantic service, 2008. You don't see the government confiscating lipsticks and gel-filled bras on the London Underground. Most of them couldn't identify a gel-filled bra if it jumped up and bit them. Michael O'Leary On increased airport security checks, 2006. We fight constantly with governments and idiot Brussels bureaucrats who want to put up the cost of air travel, or half-witted environmentalists who can't add two and two. Michael O'Leary June 2006. I'm probably just an obnoxious little ********. Who cares? Michael O'Leary On himself, 2006. Making the world a better place ... by taking a vow of silence. Michael O'Leary On his plans after Ryanair, 2006. I'm taking the Ryanair approach to it: subcontracting everything. Michael O'Leary On being a father and raising children, The Times, London, June 2006. I changed the first nappy in the hospital and, called upon in emergency, I will do another. I'm not one of these people who will be there doing the full-time father lark. Michael O'Leary On being a father, The Times, London, June 2006. We want to annoy the ******* whenever we can. The best thing we can do with environmentalists is shoot them. These headbangers want to make air travel the preserve of the rich. They are Luddites marching us back to the 18th century. Michael O'Leary Lashing out at those who criticized Ryanair's flight give-aways for fuelling the rise in aircraft carbon emissions, November 2005. I don't see how onboard gambling can make the image of airlines worse. Michael O'Leary Announcing hopes to introduce in-flight gambling service on Ryanair, November 2005. At the moment the ice is free, but if we could find a way of targeting a price on it, we would. Michael O'Leary Suggesting that if his airline Ryanair could charge for it, it would, October 2005. Every idiot who gets fired in the industry shows up as a consultant somewhere. Shoot consultants and advertising agency specialists. Michael O'Leary As guest speaker at Anglo-Irish Bank Corp business breakfast, October 2005. We have a Government of lemmings, led by the biggest lemming of all, who is incapable of making a long-term decision. Michael O'Leary On the Bertie Ahern-led Irish government, as guest speaker at Anglo-Irish Bank Corp business breakfast, October 2005. The European consumer would crawl naked over broken glass to get low fares. Michael O'Leary I don't give a shite if nobody likes me. I am not a cloud bunny, I am not an aerosexual. I don't like aeroplanes. I never wanted to be a pilot like those other platoons of goons who populate the air industry. Michael O'Leary 2005. We bow down to nobody. We'll stuff every one of them in Europe, we won't be second or third and saying: "didn't we do well?" Michael O'Leary After crashing on a practice run for Monaco Grand Prix, May 2007. I'm disrespectful towards authority. Like I think the prime minister of Ireland is a gobshite. Michael O'Leary Screw the share price, this is a fare war. Michael O'Leary The problem with the airline business is it is mostly run by a bunch of spinless nincompoops who acually don't want to stand up to the environmentalists and call them the lying *****ers that they are. Michael O'Leary For years flying has been the preserve of rich *******. Now everyone can afford to fly. Michael O'Leary On Ryanair success as a low-cost airline. Screw the travel agent. Take the ******* out and shoot them. What have they done for passengers over the years? Michael O'Leary 2003. We don't fall all over ourselves if they... say my granny fell ill. What part of no refund don't you understand? You are not getting a refund so ****** off. Michael O'Leary On Ryanair's strict no-refund policy, the source of most complaints. Weber says Germans don't like low fares. How the ****** does he know? He's never offered them any. The Germans will crawl bollock-naked over broken glass to get them. Michael O'Leary On Jurgen Weber, Lufthansa's chief executive. There is too much: "we really admire our competitors". All ********. Everyone wants to kick the shit out of everyone else. We want to beat the crap out of BA. They mean to kick the crap out of us. Michael O'Leary On co-existence with British Airways. They don't call us the fighting Irish for nothing. We have been the travel innovators of Europe! We built the roads and laid the rails. Now it's the airlines! Michael O'Leary Our strategy is like Wal-Mart: We pile it high and sell it cheap. Michael O'Leary On Ryanair's strategy. I'm Irish and we don't have to prove anything. We are God's own children. Michael O'Leary Free tickets. In a decade or so, airlines will pay travellers to distribute people around Europe. The airline industry is Tesco, is Ikea, is network TV in the way viewers watch for free and advertisers pay for access to them, is the internet in the same way that websites earn money for delivering click-through traffic to other sites. Michael O'Leary On the ultimate goal of Ryanair. Air transport is just a glorified bus operation. Michael O'Leary Quoted in BusinessWeek Online, September 2002.
