Turn off the internet please.


I hate arguing with arch-conservatives. They have so little imagination I wonder how they work out how to procreate and so little empathy I wonder they can find anyone willing to.

Next two days will be largely internet-free, then one more day in the office before holidays crossing France in an mx5 which I understand is some form of exciting car thing which hopefully will fit our rucksacks. I think someone must have done a course on marketing your B&B in the Loire valley that said 'visitors will really love gimmicky themed colour rooms, so make sure you have at least one so vilely pink your guests could not possibly manage to sleep in it'. Or something like that.

We may have an offer on the house. The possible bidder is looking at an apt. too and will decide today apparently. The figure mentioned indicates 1. there is recession and 2. we do not lose money by accepting it so I hope they confirm one way or another.

Recession.... by Tonatiuh (2.00 / 0) #2 Thu Jul 03, 2008 at 05:27:30 AM EST
.... I am selling a little property of mine and had to go down on the asking price £30 000 on the advice of a couple of state agents (the property was on the market for 2 months an got no views).

It would still be twice what I paid for it back in 2000, which is still not a bad deal (but most people keep in a perpetual state of panic no matter what numbers say failing to see that the property bubble will dampen the bust if they entered the market some time ago).

As for speculators, I hope they die a horrible death in hell.
