Well I grew up there so I think that counts! Besides it was also my nick-name when I served in the Forces.

He's a bit fit, that Brum lad.... I can offer a luxurious, comfy hug that he never could. It does look like he could offer many other things than that, though.


Nay, sir, keep your cricket bat held high (or whatever you do in cricket).


I fancy a pint later on, anyone?

No, no. Winter is mating season (or at least that's when the courting starts - Spring is when you see the...er...offspring). I reckon the singletons (me) start accepting that yet another summer has passed and the high temps and high spirits which bring the promise of love are no more, and so a more proactive, pragmatic approach is required. It's an unwillingness to accept yet another year of defeat, another New Years Eve with nobody to kiss, another cold dark winter with nobody who wants to warm their hand (and heart) in yours. As the happy couples wrap up warm, and become enclosed in their hibernatory burrows and warrens, it's time for those who have not managed to gather their nuts over autumn (if you will) to venture ever further, try ever harder, to provide for themselves through the coming hardships.


Yes, fellow solitary explorers, it is time for us to strike out; to find new lands. To perhaps find warm, sweet pastures on which to nourish our faintly beating hearts.


So, who's for the pub?

    • Just pull out, if you can  If the owners haven't been upfront with you about these things, what else might they not have told you? Better to lose some money now than buy it  and regret it. Plus as you say, what would happen if you wanted to sell the house in the future? Also, an insurer who will insure you now may not necessarily continue to do so. I have had subsidence, my then insurer withdrew my insurance as a result of the claim, and I had to go through a specialist broker to get insured. I would say it's just not worth the risk and the hassle, irrespective of the structural stability report (which presumably isn't a guarantee?) And don't be embarrassed! None of this is your fault!
    • That's the most off topic post ever 🤣 A lot better than I was, out of bed, still not great, thanks for asking! Back on topic, C123 if you can't find anything within your price range, you could always go out for a non Christmas lunch and take your own crackers (are they still a thing?), party hats (ditto) and a sprig of holly to put on top of your dessert. And a bottle of Baileys or advocaat.You might have to hide that.
    • This is a very thoughtful film about the toxic and traumatic effects of boarding schools on our ruling class and therefore on us. It's pay-for, but the trailer will give you  flavour of it.
