See now what you've done!


I am too.... ahem..."working" from home in the back garden.......but curious now as to which threads tempted the "Sean" ish....?


Is it possible (in theory) to take gardening leave, from gardening leave ? If so I think I'm doing It...ahh..



W***

I'm not working from home - I'm on genuine holiday! No abroad for me this year me , so less of thing wink-wink


But as to *Bob*'s OP - yes it is hot, yes beer is lovely and that spicy chicken dish I just cobbled together hit the spot nicely after some tennis. Now if only I had some lovely open-air gig to go to, my day would be made..


oh wait...

Seeing as this looks the place for inconsequential chatter, perhaps you could put your beer-enhanced brains to this.


I was just getting into someone else's conversation on the train and it went exactly like this:


"Yeah, it's going down all the time isn't it. We can buy New York."


Pause.


"I put a bid in at 4:45 and to be sixty over we need 16.75. That's still valid until tomorrow morning."


Then I had to get off. Apart from learning that someone thought you could by New York for 4:45, I have no idea what was going on here. Anyone have a clue what this could have been about? I must know.

Cheers Citizen. All sorted now. My attention was distracted by a woman down the carriage fanning herself with a black lace fan - an unusual site on the 15:03 to Peckham Rye. She slightly spoiled the effect by visibly exhaling a gasping "F'kinell", but all the same, full marks for the fan.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
