Re: UK housing market slump

Nope, not given up hope at all. Just means we will have a bit less of a buffer when we first move over. In no huge rush at the moment anyhow. (except to get out of my current job, which I hate). :D

Re: Beware - the house market is falling

Re: Using both a knife & fork when eating

OR you can have tea in a mug, with about 12 sugars. The mug should preferably have a lewd slogan and oily fingerprints on it. British diversity, gotta love it!

Re: Using both a knife & fork when eating

My wife uses a knife and fork for eating doughnuts. As a dutiful, supporting husband, I feel its my responsibility to point out to her she is weird every time she does it.

Re: what can't we take?
