Asset

Moved to Dulwich 7 years ago after 15 years in the Elephant, lots of places before that but not in London.

I had a jolly time, thanks Mark. Glad I didn't get roped into the after hours shennanigans, exerted willpower for a change.

hear that *Bob*?

Alan Dale will have something to say

*thinks: poor old Kate. Bit barking really isn't she*

I was in a supermarket that shall remain nameless recently and overheard an elderly woman saying to her shopping partner "don't want none of that organic rubbish". I sighed.

average. thinks it is better than it is.

You're such a prophet of doom Macro. If everyone talks about a crash all the time, it will happen. You seem to be enjoying it though so fair enough.

are you sure it's not too much Shiraz issues there?

I agree with Alan, bad move releasing large amounts of equity and spending it. I don't think selling up and renting is really a good option. It's unlikely that the interest earned on the capital would cover rental and what's the point spending capital on rent? If you plan to live in your house for the forseeable it is irrelevant whether the market drops, it will inevitably pick up again.

I am coming but sadly Mr. Asset (who has his own forum identity, but that would be telling) has drawn the short straw now babysitter let us down.

As I am the champion so far, I'll make it easy for you all.... Green Park

no idea, you've gone all technical on me. I'll take your word for it.

Not really, as I have not been a hypocrite in saying I am a religious person when I'm not. The school in question was by far and away the closest school to where I lived. In my opinion the Church of England is about as much of a 'non-religion' as religions get anyway. Apart from a bit of Christmas Carolling and Easter service, to which I have absolutely no objections, that is as far as the 'religious' aspect of the school goes. In fact the RE classes also took in learning about other religions. If I sent my child to a RC school or an Islamic school that would be different as those religions tend towards having doctrines that have to be adhered to. That would be hypocritical if I had no intention of adhering to them. I have no interest in getting into a theological dicussion as that has already been done on here.

I've been listening to R4 over the internet for about 4 years so it's not that recent.

Oh gawd, that's the only way I can play - spin like mad and hope for the best!

I'm going for a swerve. Chorleywood

I take it they are quite happy in The Plough for a bunch of people to play games? Scrabble is quiet but Articulate can get quite raucous (in my experience anyway).

is that with VM Tommy? I'm paying more than that - I'll be on the bloody phone tomorrow

It is hypocritical to go to church just for a school place. My son went to Dulwich Village Infants and he was happy there, it is a really nice little school with good facilites and nice teachers. However the 'parish' cachment does not take in much of SE22, and the priority intake is for kids in the parish. Interesting walking past St Barnabus on a Sunday morning just how many people with pre-school kids are flocking there. Call me cynical if you wish 'cos I am.

Articulate v funny, especially after a few drinks.

Mimosa?

I agree
