Hechnical Titch Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Kent Online has a new episode - something about Fergus and baby wipes. I don't seem to be able to read the actual article though - can anyone help please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fully Detached Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Either the article has been pulled or the url changed - there's still a google hit for it indexed if you search for the main terms, but you only get the first line: Quote 7 Mar 2017 - A property mogul says errant tenants have cost him thousands of pounds in plumbing repairs just by flushing baby wipes down the toilet. I'm waiting for the day they report that DynoRod have had to call in heavy lifting specialists because one of his tenants has flushed Fatty down the toilet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard babies live off handouts and are pretty irresponsible. Do they make it onto the 2017 list of undesirables? After all, some might have ambitions to become plumbers?!

Quote http://www.kentonline.co.uk/sheerness/news/landlord-finds-home-trashed-122671/ Quote She said: “We saw the front door was broken first of all. "But when we opened it to have a look inside, I can only describe my feelings as total amazement and horror. "I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.” The banister had been ripped off the stairs and dumped in the middle of the living room, there was broken glass on the floor, doors had been kicked off, the bathroom sink had been smashed, toys and rubbish was strewn everywhere and ketchup had been squirted on walls. It was discovered last Saturday. Mrs Gilbert, who has two properties on the Island and one in Sittingbourne, said: “It’s just shocking. It’s definitely been maliciously damaged.” Double Edited March 23, 2017 by XswampyX Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Relax, these landlords are hard-nosed, capable business people not gormless amateurs. Nobody would let property without realising that lousy referencing of tenants and inadequate insurance will leave them potentially facing big losses. I think you need to take a good long look at yourself, ebull. How dare you take such a patronising attitude towards landlords? It's not as if any idiot can leverage up to the eyeballs and then start angling for sympathy when things go wrong. These guys are professionals. Show some respect.

Two men (in the same weight class) can both train to the best they can and try to win. In the housing market a hard working higher earner that pays plenty of tax and contributes to society, often can't get a mortgage for the amount of money asked. Fergus Wilson as much as he is being a d***head, is not being true to form here. This has more to do with his ego and wanting to appear tasty in his old age, obviously.

Duet: Oh Landlord, oh Landlord, I cannot pay the rent, Well ****** you you renter, Go and buy a tent. But a tent is so cold, And I am getting old, I don't care. I only want gold Show mercy great Fergus, And let me rest awhile. Piss off you sponger, you're cramping my style I want to make a million or more, Drabs like you Make me feel sore.

Fully Detached Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Quote In December 2014 he banned tenants who shared his surname after several cases of 'mistaken identity' led to council tax disputes. I don't care what anybody else says. Whether he knows it or not, he's a comedy genius. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
