Yeah all's sort of cool - thanks Jim.
 
If I say it's mainly to do with Mrs Dingo's number one son and his partner, estate agents, two-faced vendors and his first-ever purchase on the point of falling through 'cos of what I can only describe as dubious professional practise, you might get the picture...
 
Not life or limb-threatening, but a pain in the ass nonetheless. If we don't get it sorted very soon it will exchange to a different party on Friday, so some midnight oil may well have to be burned in the next couple of days.
 
I wouldn't mind but we've done everything by the book (I should put this in the Ranting Room, but as I'm here), offered the full asking price and shown up with the cash - all of it. The other bloke made an offer just after Christmas, struggled to get a mortgage, has offered £x000 less than us and the vendors are still reluctant to accept our cash. They might get some sort of perverse kick out of what virtually amount to a contract race, but no-one on our side does, for sure.
 
End of rant. I'm fine thanks and looking forward to seeing the guys next time.
It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

Holy MolyCry
 
Probably the only Wednesday night I can't make in 2009 and we go and pick itOuch
 
I know the RiverGarden well, too - John who runs the Rushcutters (next pub along) is part of our football crew and they serve ace food so I would have tried to entice you in there. Can't make it 'cos of domestic upheavals of a majestic scale - the fact I've been offline for about five days tells its own story!
 
Really sorry but if you're round here for a while make a post and I'll be there next time - short notice isn't a problem normally.
 
Have a good'un and I'll see you both next time - for sure.

It's good to see that free speech is still at the centre of our system. And no, I didn't vote for them. But hey, at least I voted.
 
A fine British tradition of political engagement being upheld there - I'm sure that level of robust debate was warmly welcomed. I seem to remember John Prescott gave an equally robust response.

I was wondering where our founder, Steve (Mystic Fred) has got to.
I hope that all is well.


Jared visited the forum at the end of May, and dropped me a PM to thank me for the birthday card I had sent him. He also told me he was taking an extended break from the site, and didn't know whether he would be backCry. This was very sad news for me, since he was one the best team mates one could wish for, and a good friend. Thankfully, it seems he likes the place where he works now, though as you can imagine he's up to his neck in work.

I also hope Steve is doing well... He is one of my favourite people on PA; and I really miss him.

I also voted.  Again, not for them.

I'm a pacifist but if someone was to accidently on purpose maim him with say... a bullet... I wouldn't complain.

I'm very well thanks Mr C and I hope you and yours are as well. Where have you been?

Damned good point, Lee

According to the stats, he was last active on the forum in Mid April

As you say - hope all's well...
