  1. In our situation the flat is with a new Foxtons office in Crystal Palace and they're doing a 0% commission intro offer. For this reason I'm hoping they won't be too bothered about getting a higher bidder.

I was going to post the same yesterday, I'd rather there be no thread than keep reading this pathetic shite from two blokes that aren't from Glasgow.
  3. No way, I thought that was ileagal after a certain point, can't believe that it can go that far! On the positive side, we're only having to pay out about ?650 in fees for mortgage set up and conveyance searches. Only have to pay more once it's all said and done. But I still can't really afford to throw ?650 away.
  4. If anyone was thinking of guitar gadgets (and I've had a couple of PM's) 3 for 2 offer here http://www.roland.co.uk/blog/boss-3-for-2-offer-is-back-for-a-very-limited-time?_cldee=a2VpdGhvdHRhd2F5MjcwN0B5YWhvby5jby51aw%3d%3d
  5. When do agents have to stop other people viewing? We've had an offer accepted at ?5k less than asking, but viewings won't be stopped until survey booked or something. I've already spent a few hundred on fees and will be kivid if they let someone else gazump us.

  7. What's he "in to"? Sport, music (if he plays guitar I can tell you all sortas of cool toys).
  8. Seriously though, it's impossible to answer that whilst knowing absolutely nothing about your husband other than he is male, married and a father.
  9. Bugger, no SE26. I'll have to meet them at Forest Hill Station.
  10. I guess there is a lot to be said for placebo even if it's not ACTUALLY benefitting you it could psychologically do some good.
  11. When listening to my ipod out and about (don't really use headphones indoors unless for guitar) I actually just like the phones that came with my Galaxy S3 Phone. I know I should probably hang my head in shame at that, but for me they feel and sound great.

  13. I just think that as every woman is different, and one post birth experience will be different from another (for the same woman), no woman can say with any certainty that it made any difference to them because they don't know how they'd have felt without it. Does that make sense? Anyway, each to their own, chow down.
  14. Nah, Liverpool. Although I know the one you mean and have been there for a pint.

    Yep, been a good while since I got to DH. But Saturday I think we're visiting one of my many friends that has left Dulwich and London.
  16. I'm having my first experience of Foxtons. 2 more or less identical flats in a big block, one under offer at 195k. The other with Foxtons priced ?20k higher, and not surprisingly not under offer. I suspect offers may have been made, but they're probably urging the vendor to hold out, and the way things are going, someone will be desperate enough to meet the price, thus pushing things up a further 10% CUNTS!!!!!!
  17. The clear memory I have from it was that after they fail to save JFK rhey get an audience with Johnson and tell him all about Vietnam. He believes their story but his response is to throw absolutely everything at it. Ooops.

  19. Ah, no, that's called "Doctor Sleep". Heard mised reviews on Radio 4 review show. 11.22.63 sounds good. Reminds me of a film I say years ago called Running against time, where they try to stop JFK getting killed, thinking it would have stopped the Vietnam war. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100529/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl It was probably rubbish, but I remember it being good.

  21. It's an open internet forum, of course people are going to pipe in. And what's the harm in a bit of discussion. Besides, how does a mum who has used them really KNOW that they've made any difference? (serious question)
  22. I used to drink in a nice pub called The Halfway House. Just thought I'd share.
