Tyrant

I don't drink.

Letting them back in after seeing (very clearly) the thoughts of all fans is a massive kick in the balls for all us long suffering fans that have endured Scottish Fitba for the last 2 decades. Fuck it.

What absolute nonsense. If that was fishing it worked. I was specifically looking at properties that required renovation for the very reasons you specified. (Have you seen the way half the hooses oot there are decorated?) I'm more than willing to do any work that I can and roughing it isn't a problem (you should see my current abode). But I'd require finance to carry out major work because as willing as I am to put in a shift I wouldn't be able to install a kitchen or bathroom for example. I'm not saying it's rocket science but it's something that you'd need experience to do well. I'd want/need work done to a professional standard which requires money. If I can't get that money then I can't renovate? Simple. This was advice given to me by a mortgage advisor. Hence "apparently". I did find it strange because I thought it was a good idea especially for a first time buyer. You buy the house cheap because it needs work, do the work on as tight a budget as you can and when finished the house is potentially worth more than what you've spent on it. I know it wont work out like that on every property but these are the lines that I was thinking along. It irks me that people think I want a free ride. If my parents taught me anything over the years it's the value of money and the hard work required to earn it. Hence I've been in employment constantly since I was 16 and I'm sure many of you are the same. I feel I've had a good attitude throughout my so far short but fast paced house-hunt, being realistic with figures and obviously having done my homework on mortgages to the apparent surprise of the mortgage advisers that I've spoken to. I don't think I need to be spoken down to from a higher rung of the property ladder by any of you older folk!

Indeed.

The game bored me to fucking tears but the best team won. No doubt about that. It was great seeing all the Man United fans in Aberdeen (and by fuck, they were out in force) with such gloomy expressions! Still not over yet. Man City are on a good run but aren't invincible. I hope they don't bottle it.

If I could afford to repay both simultaneously then probably? But then I'd also have to continue to pay rent until such times as the property I'm renovating is habitable. So apparently it's not generally done by first time buyers.

Don't get me wrong I'm not above shitting in buckets if I've been lent the cash to refurbish the place so I'm just using the bucket on a temporary basis.

You mis-read my post I think. I completely agreed with your post re Langfield. Spastic.

The liquidation rumour mill has been in overdrive today right enough.

Holy shit. A post from Rocket which isn't complete and utter bullshit! Good effort.

Aye. But as I said in the post that you quoted any property that requires refurbishment is out of the question because of their lending rules.

I wasn't unhappy when he came in.. and I know several that were pleased with the appointment.

No they fucking don't. Fuck off with this shit. They seem determined to drive the fans away. They've seen the surveys. They can't say they weren't warned when fans fuck off in their droves. ARGH!

In my experience they did want him.

Tbh be honest it's a bad idea. If everyone over 50 fucks off a lot of experience is lost and that might be harder to cope with that it might seem. Anyway.. back to ranting about how the world's against me.. I've seen one or two properties which have potential and are cheaper because they require refurbishment. Despite being well under the maximum of what a lender will lend me I can't go for them because the lend won't lend me more than the purchase price. Leaving me nae money to get the place up to scratch. Fucking useless. This narrows down my options a lot and will probably see me having to splash out more than I maybe thought I had to.

Ronnie was on fire over the weekend. Worried that he might win it. I'd absolutely love to see Hendry win the title again.

I'm as patriotic as the next guy but I don't kid myself into thinking that Renton isn't 100% correct.

That's 4 minutes of my life I'll not see again.

It's a fair point. But as MBT implies if I don't go now I probably never will.

This man will get the job:

They don't need any turnstiles. No cunt is going.
