everytime I see this poster on the buses lately, I think of the Dream Machine.... http://www.firstshowing.net/img/love-guru-poster-big.jpg

now that was a smile PCG!

Thats not the point at all acedout and i think you know it If you buy an extra beer or even a car you arent directly preventing anyone else from doing the same. With a house. . . And especially if its one of the holiday homes in corn wall say. . . Where wages are tiny. . You are fairly obviously taking an unfair slice of the pie. You can still do it but why would you?

maybe Brendan, but your friend was hotter

should anyone think of fleeing for the country not just London

DaveR - Gordon Gecko was the BAD guy in that film, right?

Wonderful, mightyroar... just wonderful

Because it's greedy? Because housing is a limited resource and yet is something we consider an essential human requirement? Because it distorts the market and leaves millions with no opportunity to own a home and yet ensures rents rise?

What is it you want to start again Oglander?? If you want to solicit more responses from your initial post, simply add another response to it and it will re-arrive (?) back on page one... if it still doesn't get any responses... well.....

It was all just a bit surreal - talking away to people and then - "waaayyyy". Summer is ace. (although alcohol probably had more to do with it)

I just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you. And I shall now be there at the same time every evening on the off-chance...

I passed by last night and had a chat with the 3 main characters in the playlet outside the shop - I ended up being there far longer than I had time for but throughly enjoyed myself. I haven't got any answers to his proposal - my initial thought was that ?10 was too steep but that a smaller amount might attract more people (which is more important that the money - no good some one stumping up ?750 a month only to be on his or her own) I think there is a disconnect between the way people lead their lives today and the vision John has - as shown in his example of the couple with "no" interest in music. But I'm still looking forward tothe party on Monday night

Love, it *BoB*

I was just teasing with that one ;-)

"Willy-nilly" on the other hand....

I had to re-read your post a few times to see if you weren't deliberately mis-representing me there Huguenot My point about "whinging Brenda" is not that she should be allowed to put here feet up at our expense - it was to illustrate that, rather than a system which is being mercilessly milked, we actually have a system which isn't too wrong. Whinging Brenda is at work. As are most of the people like her. Whereas I would hazard that most of the people on IB are there for a reason - not because they are scrounging

well, the early Fabians never did a 12 hour shift in a call centre outside Leeds ;-) Haven't seen many corporations agree with that statement too quickly of late. Governments are everyone's best friend when the fit hits the shan it would seem

Lady MacGabhann is still chuckling over this bit: "Many people probably do not realise that the different shapes of pasta are in fact all the same thing. They think they are getting a varied diet but they aren't."

post of the day there *Bob* I have tickets for the gig on Monday, and have helped out in the shop, but not sure about this subscription business - I'm digesting the concept - all the better to find the EXACT centre of gravity from where to post

MarmoraBoy? MarmoraJr? MarmoraLad?

marks out of ten from ???? are imminent for this effort...

I was having a bit of an Old Fogie moment wasn't I - Curmudgeon and I had a wee chat about it

(not to derail the thread but another vote for Keef's Deadwood recommendation - top notch stuff. I've got Series 3 ready to start soon)

come on young Yard - you got some related answers ;-)

Ms Enright doesn't seem to have too much room for them does she? ;-)
