    Home Ownership

    Buying a first home involves some sacrafice but is possible. My Niece and her partner are 20 & 21 and have managed to save a deposit of £10000 over three years. They have found a house in Durrington (not very nice, I know) for £130000 and have arranged a 35 year mortgage. She is a carer and he...

    Home Ownership

    I'd agree with most of that except the part about the bonds giving the better long term growth. Bonds have done slightly better than property since 1910, but considerably wirse than balanced funds, for example. They are, generally, more reliable though - is that what you mean?

    A Thread full of War Pics.

    Isn't Herr Josef Bloshe a big man with his gun? Happily, he was executed in Leipzig on 29 July 1969. The little boy may have become an ENT doctor in New York. [/URL][/IMG] These are the fall of the Zob bunker in the Warsaw ghetto uprising. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

    Who on here is in a trade union?

    I could be a member of the AUT but would rather burn the £160 pa than give it to them. The sooner they are removed from campuses the better.

    Margaret Thatcher

    I think you are too young and blinkered to fully understand what you are talking about, so I shan't respond to you again on this subject. It is interesting that you also appear to be in a minority - just like labour.

    Margaret Thatcher

    just examples. How about Ecclestone then? I just think that the level of sleaze has gone up a gear in the past decade. Now, if that makes me a fool then fine. As for abuse of democracy, why don't you see what powers the local government cmpliance officers have. Or the use of Scottish MPs to...

    Margaret Thatcher

    Best PM since Churchill. Its funny, but the height of Tory sleaze now seems so restrained compared to what Blairs lot get up to. Instead of Hamiltons few nights in an hotel from Fayed, its £350K from the Italian PM over dodgy property deals.

    Fight in a Disco/Club

    Me and some friends got into a scrap in Coasters in the 80s when some bloke accused my mate of prodding hime with a brolly. Not only did we get a kicking when a dozen or so kids git stuck in but we also got literally thrown out. Another time in the Hungry Years, I was sitting at the bar down...

    Anyone seen the new LEXUS IS250?

    Get a Range Rover and you will get respect, comfort, etc. Use LPG and you'll get the equivalent of 35-40 mpg to. The Lexus is over priced and Alan Partridge had one. You know it makes sense, get the Range Rover

    Moved home...and made a big mistake ?

    The town centre in Chi is fantastic compared to Brighton and its all pedestrian. Some great little shops and very few chavs/big issue sellers/druggies/etc. You may have to age another 10 - 20 years to see it that way though :wave:

    Lecturer's strike March 8th

    If you look at the staff lists on the internet for any decent engineering or science department at a university such as Sheffield, Southampton, Bristol, Bath, Imperial, Loughborough, Kings College, etc., then you will see that most of the academics are SL or above. Progression on the scale is to...

    Blair Now Blames God

    Tony Liar does not blame God, he said that he would answer to God. He has obviously been reading Revalations again and sees himself as one of the last leaders of men. Very worrying really.
