Makes a change from goin' down Mexico way to shoot my ol' lady.....

Cheaper outfits, yes, but it's the thought of "losing" (all) our btinternet email addresses and having to remember who to inform accordingly. Tempted towards Plusnet - which is actually BT anyway, I hear....

Yes, I'm tempted to get them. (Mine, not yours!)

Tools and timber....if only! During my light-headedness yesterday, I got an email from BT advising that my current broadband deal expires later this month. If I want to keep the current plan. I "need to do nothing". Great. That's good. "Doing nothing" is what I'm good at! But...... The current...

Booooooo! Hiss!!!!!! Burn him at the stake! Yes, one of our friends at the time got "caught" in the negative equity fallout. Marriage breakdown as a result. Had nice property near Edale, but eventually walked into the lender's office, put the house keys on the desk, and literally walked away...

Merely a light-hearted comment, Lons. The only grouse I ever had with N'wide was when I moved house last time - just 6 miles distance, but crossed a county border, and for some reason it was deemed fit to change my branch to a different location without informing me first. Other than that, no...

Yes. And I'm only 109!

Cheers, Spectric.... Yes, I well remember sweating in the early 80's! Akin to 16% at one time, if I remember right? The "recent buyers" who have calculated their borrowing to the max might well be in for a right ol' shock before too long.....

Cheers, Sandyn.... Apparently the deeds are only kept "electronically" these days - so even the building society doesn't actually have 'em - but if I want a hard copy I have to contact the Land Registry. (No doubt there would be a cost involved!) I'd heard about the £1 "ruse" as well, but it...

AyeThangQueue!

Indeed. Trying hard not to smirk in a knowing fashion, but failing miserably!

Thanks, Phill05. A wonderful tool, a sharpened scraper! Probably my favourite hand tool over the years, come to think.... Splashed out last year on an Arno burnisher. Ridiculous price really, but made me feel like a pro!

No. Not the usual blues opening line. The curse on the House of Cozzer - the Nationwide Building Society - is no more. From this morning, I am mortgage free!

Are all your responses this helpful, I wonder?

Thanks, Droogs. Appreciated.

Sadly not, sorry! No camera, and you know the 1 in 1000ish who doesn't own a mobile phone these days? That's me! (Actually, that's not strictly true, but it's knocking on, so copes with calls/texts only!)

Hello all.... I recently bought a nice games set, in a box which has seen "better days".... The lid - which I originally thought had marquetry inlay and would therefore be flat - turned out to have a incised/carved design into the (unknown) wood, and then stained and/or varnished a horrible dark...

Had to help the wife out yesterday... Asked to provide a password of at least eight characters, including at least one number and a capital letter, she said all that she could think of was Snow White and the 7 dwarfs....

It's about time they set one up on the main drag towards Unstone!
