I'm no expert but I would have thought additional bedrooms are worth more than 20k. However may not add much value if they are being squeezed into a house with too small a footprint. Also consider whether the garden is big enough to support 5 bedrooms as it is likely to be bought by a family at some stage. These things considered, I would go for it. It should be cheaper than a stand alone loft conversion as the builders are there anyway.

Jay Townend on radio5 is calling this the best major championship performance ever in a major championship. This is the same guy who 4 days ago called mcilroy an underachiever. This is Rorys arrival day.

It's the big one. 3 holes to go.

Get in there Rory. Fulfilling his destiny tonight. Since he shot an 11 under par 61 at royal portrush aged 16 in the northern ireland amateur, Irish golf has been waiting for this day.

It's exhibition stuff at tne moment says sky sports.

I have a question of social etiquette. "don't nose the cheese" can only apply to cheeses with non constant features eg blue cheese which have more concentrated centres? I have worked this out as my own theory over time, but cant see the logic in people taking a "side strip" of a constant cheese like camembert.... I'm sure Rosie Cheese will put me right.

No. Sorry. Not even with my beer glasses.

Im guessing but this may be a Friern Road house? If so it has a side return, which looks pretty goo, but I don't know if the side return has been done since 2009.

12 pages of this now. And how many years has this thread been going? his mother loves him, that should be enough.

Stop dumping all the crap from the general section into the Lounge please. ;-)

Owen Coyle offers paltry 2m for Celtic's best midfield player Kayal. On yer bike Owen. Just because you did not want the Celtic job 2 years ago, does not mean everyone else would rather be at Bolton than at Celtic. Get a grip.

Ryan Giggs has gone from clean cut image - to dirty dirty dirty.....

Nothing here either. Not that I applied for much, but my wife applied for loads and got nothing either. I feel for the families who put a lot of time into researching times, events etc, and got nothing.

3 september was just a date my wife and I agreed on. We both have september birthdays.

House prices are near 2007 levels if not above. Stories of falling house prices normally refer to UK, London had a small fall but seems to have recovered. East Dulwich in 2009 seemed cheap compared to clapham/balham/wandsworth, so it may even go up further, but def on the rise over the last 12 months imo.

Does anyone know how to get tickets for this? the official box office went on sale today and sold out before lunchtime. Is there a secondary market somewhere? thanks (want tickets for 3 September) ...

The point is about double standards, see my first post. I know a fair bit about offshore tax structures too Mr B, but the point is not the nature of their tax structure, but the principle that as soon as they no longer benefit from the artists tax exemption, we see them trying to avoid their home country responsibilities. Having benefitted from the exemption for so many years you would think they would be winning to pay their bit now, but no, apparently not. They cultivate image of being chartiable but charity begins at home and in these times of great difficulty for the people of Ireland I find their reluctance to pay their way astonishing. Noone is blaming U2 for Irelands financials woes - I don't know where you got that from.
