  1. Stonewall is of course a chess opening. I also think it refers to a wall in Scotland.
  2. yes let us hope it works. Does anybody know if the recent ban on deep sea drilling also encompasses the relief well(s)? I hope not.

    Eurovision

    >"Winning" song by Germany was written by an english songwriter American and Danish I thought. Julie Frost and John Gordon
  4. >This sounds a bit odd perhaps, but is there any way of finding out who someone's GP is? Not as far as I know - perhaps look at their medicine to find the Doctors name or go with your mum or alone to fetch the medecine. Mind I doubt their GP will tell you much - patient confidentialty and all that. Good Luck
  5. Personally I go for Dells but that could be just me...
  6. Looking good so far. Fingers crossed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/us_and_canada/10174861.stm
  7. >Does Sema Thai in Lordship Lane still exist......... yep
  8. Salary would have to be a lot better than OK. Would they also pay for you to fly home at least Monthly?
  9. >charliecharlie Today, 06:38PM >yup, love pacman, just don't want it in my face bleeping away every time a do a google search Can you not turn the sound off when you search? I do
  10. Ah it is OK they have set up a commission http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/us_and_canada/10141194.stm So if they outlaw deep drilling will the US cut the amount of gasoline etc. they use?
  11. No but nor do I think BTL landlords are all evil and the only ones to blame for the so called housing crisis. Nor do I think illegal acts are a tax break. By that token you can live virtually rent free. Just rent a place and stop paying rent after a month or two it will take them a lot of letters etc. before you are thrown out and then you rent another place or you could squat. Squatting is not actually illegal I think. As I understand it the MP's actually followed what rules there were - flipping was allowed. It is beside the point anyway as 'They did it so it does not matter I broke the law' is no defense in a court or to the tax collector.
  12. >Yes it would be illegal I do not think illegal acts can be counted as tax breaks
  13. >In practice this means a couple can buy two homes and pay no tax at all on the gains made from a 'buy to let' property. I think that is illegal and mortgage fraud. >even your own furniture Unlikely to get this through the tax-man. CGT is due to go to a maximum of 40% I thought.
  14. >The large tax breaks that buy-to-let currently enjoys Not quite sure what these tax breaks are?
  15. Not wanting to get into the fine details but I think some of the figures are incorrect: > The average age of a first time buyer without parental help is 42 and rising! Not sure where this comes from. The figure I've seen is lower: the average age of those doing it without financial backing from relatives has risen from 33 to 37 in the past two years. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8454455.stm There is also the HomeBuy scheme: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/HomeAndCommunity/BuyingAndSellingYourHome/HomeBuyingSchemes/DG_171504 Cheers
  16. There were several 2 bed places on the list all for under 230K
  17. >30K deposit and almost 80K a year in income is not enough to get you a 2 bedroom home I think it is. have a look at these http://www.globrix.com/property/buy/east%20dulwich?ns=true&rd=1&hits=10&br=buy&qt=East+Dulwich&keyword_field=
  18. Ah good old HST.....

    Apple's iPad

    Well it shreds and blends http://www.blendtec.com/willitblend/videos.aspx?type=unsafe&video=ipad
  23. Looks like the third attempts had some succcess 8-)
  24. yes the Danish oil company is called DONG it stands for Dansk Olie og Natur Gas makes perfect sense really. 'slut' og 'slutspurt' are other Danish words which seems to cause some hilarity. A story, perhaps not true, is that the English Queen visited Denmark and they put stickers on the lifts she was going to use as all Danish lifts have signs saying 'i fart'
