JPJPJP Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) would it be wrong to offer to add a few more quid into Fergus' proposed 'one round bare knuckle fight' prize fund in order to tempt the estate agent to participate?

jfk Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 pure genius that avatar picture ... the EA should take the fight on, it would be hilarious. ... imagine the money one could make live streaming it - feck UFC when you have this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCountOfNowhere Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Fergus Wilson and an EA having a bitch fight - could there be any more poetic example of sheer twattery to finish off a Friday? It's like Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris having a pop at each other - the only downside is that neither of them were seriously injured. On a serious note....why would a multi-millionaire riding high on the House price wave be stressed enough to alegedly hit an EA ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would he represent himeself in court? And why the feck is he so fat if he isn;t shopping at Asda, Iceland and Poundland? Good questions. Universal Credit? Bankers? You saw him telling EA Dave what to do? Funny how they weren't so publically concerned with people getting jobs and 'making something of themselves' until recently. Fergus Wilson was unrepentant, sending an outspoken and at times bizarre statement to the Guardian urging benefit claimants to "get a job" and calling on David Cameron to make it clear that landlords can receive benefits directly. He says: "Calling Dave, Calling Dave, Fergus to Dave. Take a tip Dave! Stop this nonsense of paying housing benefit direct to the tenant!"We have £800,000 arrears for those on HB [housing benefit]. Has the £800,000 caused financial difficulty … to be honest not an awful lot, but it has some!" ..the FOUR DAY hearing at Canterbury Crown Court.... what a complete joke. ...'The businessman, who has many properties in the Ashford area – had been fined £500 by magistrates, ordered him to pay £150 compensation and £1000 costs and victim surcharge.' Supposed millionaire landlords, lecturing people to get a job; if there is no other appeals for him on this case, too much to hope a conviction might have a bearing on other things?

Wurzel Of Highbridge Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 At least the jury found fit to find him guilty, even if the judge had been advised to let him off lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheBlueCat Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 65 and 22 stone...a methophore for the housing market ? Old, bloated and could keel over at any point ? Serious question, if he and his lovely wife keeled over tomorrow...what happens to their property "empire" ? Who does it go to ? I assume they've left it all to their daughter (who already owns a chunk of it anyway). That's when it gets interesting though. Fungus says the houses are worth 30% (or whatever it is) more than they paid, which implies a whopping great inheritance tax bill. Mini-Fungus or whatever she is called would likely try to back-peddle on the valuations enormously, which would then set off the mortgage lenders due to worries about collateral... Could be a right old mess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bland Unsight Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Aggressive, disinhibited behaviour can be one of the early signs of dementia.... Is a willingness to believe daft ideas a symptom? For example believing that owning half the 3-beds in Ashford is balanced investment portfolio, or that he's going to exit the market with more than the shirt on his back? He's the poster boy for this nonsense. I wish him well; I'd prefer it if he was around to get what's coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's even the registrant on her Mum's http://www.jwipb.co.uk/ http://www.nominet.org.uk/whois/lookup?query=jwipb.co.uk A couple of years ago there was an address associated with registration of the domain, but was just a regular road of circa £175K-£225,000 regular houses, as I remember it. Opted not to have address shown at latest renewal, for domain checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe that estate agent didn't take him up on his offer of a fight - would have been the easiest £10k he'd ever made. All he'd have to do is jog round the ring for two and a half seconds and Jabba would be flat on his backside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venger Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 So the only way property is going to go, value wise, is upwards. Because there's a property shortage, the only way rents are going to go is upwards.When you have a situation of twenty houses and nineteen people after them, the rent goes down. When you have twenty houses and twenty one people after them, the rent goes up; it is an auction situation. He's lucky there's so many 'pure-innocent buyers' still willing to borrow to meet these sort of crazy asking prices, and for the authorities providing £$Trillions in Global QE, 0.5%, FLS (for the banks to keep lending what houses are worth), fast-track SMI/mortgage-rescue as so on. Galling to see such people, and many of the other landlords with 5-6, in such property-invested positions, with heaps more HPI given on top - and younger renters seen mostly as just cash to be fed upon. Broken. Everything is broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reck B Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) If Fergus grabbed the flabby skin under his face and pulled it sharply upwards, revealing a grinning Chris Morris, I'd laugh my tits of but not actually be that surprised, such is the utter caricature I see in him. Sadly, a catastrophic failure in UK's monetary policy is protecting a minority of house-hoarding, people-farming fát cúnts like Fergus at the expense of almost everyone else.
