Funny Michael Mcintyre joke from Frankie Boyle's Netflix show 'Hurt Like You've Never Been Loved'. One of the best comedians around. See him on Mock the Week.

I also think there are valid questions which someone should be asking about likely takeup rates - I suspect they may be less than the models suggest. I haven't seen any commentary on that. I don't know if anyone has any idea what choices the government would be faced with, in the circumstances of lower than expected/necessary uptake.

If they don't pick it up early in the morning it will be hard to resist the temptation to find a few other jobs that need doing.Turning millions into thousands

It's been a chaotic few months, got divorced, bought a house, got new job and moved city for work. Never felt lonely or worried because always had my dog Buddy with me. He was a ferocious ball of fur, who hated everything except me and killing things. Woke up this morning, he got a drink of water, walked to door, puked, fell over, spasmed and died, all in 30 seconds.

The whole website reads like the worst buzzwords and no actual details on anything. They've even managed to squeeze the word agile in there, the ultimate bullshit bingo of the modern tech world.

Just over two days to get entries in for the 2021 Multi Sport Competition. Cut off point Saturday 2.15pm.
Simples, pick the winners of the year's biggest sporting events, stuff like Wimbledon & Augusta Masters etc.
Pick wisely, win points, win the pot.
List of events in post #1.
Tables are a bit of mess on 'new' IPB unfortunately, so going to do as much of the competition as possible via google spreadsheets. So the attached document is the initial list of events for this years competition. (Some more events will be added in July as this format seemed to work well last year). https://docs.google.com/sp

Details to come.....
Mortgage drawn down, everything done and I was due to collect keys @ 3pm today or thereabouts.
Our solictors doing final searches before signing off.
It turns out the sellers owned the house we are
purchasing(lets say number 2 ) and the one next door (number 4).
They sold next door last year.
All of the legal documents and land registry filing for the new owners of
number 2 have them owning number 4.
Meaning we cannot buy the house legally as the sellers don't own the land it sits on
It also means number 2 owners don't own the land of the house they are living in
and their house insurance etc is all fucked.
and their mortgage
and all our stuff too.
My mortgage starts one 1st March, notice handed into current landlord, viewing of apartment for
new lettors over the next few days all booked, everything we own in boxes or storage
and house insurance/mortage protection all active.
Potentially this could be a timebomb for all parties (us, sellers, other owners, our solocitors, their(sellers and owners) solicitors etc).
Our solicitor needs to determine if filing error or "human error", the latter is not what we want.

There was some weird property registry thing with our house when we bought it. The numbers had been laid out differently in the plans that were sent to the registry compared to how they numbered the houses when they sold them.
I think there was also a folio on it? It was explained to me a couple of times but it was stroke inducingly confusing and pedantic so I doubt I ever really absorbed the information. As a man of logic and structured data I wouldn't advise trying to understand the legal nonsense.
Our solicitor went back and forth - seemed like a pain in the arse for her but she did get it sorted. One to just leave someone else to sort out and hope that you have a good solicitor.

Either carbonnel or jalibert. Both good kickers. I put an each way bet on dupont as top tryscorer. Each way 5 places seems a cracking bet at 18/1Last edited by shrapnel; 04-02-21, 19:30.

Best of luck with this DP, hope everything gets worked out.
My mate is having trouble trying to buy an apartment abroad at the moment. Price agreed and mortgage approval was sorted. However his solicitor discovered that the current owner (or previous) actually joined two apartments together but never formalized this officially with local government/housing authority. The bank have pulled the pin completely now despite having a significant % deposit ready. The bureaucracy levels are epic in terms of re-registering the apartment as one dwelling also. Currently trying to work around this with a broker by issuing individual mortgages for each "separate apartment". It's becoming increasingly unlikely to go through.
