Strung them along for a couple of weeks whilst I put in a successful offer on another house.

I eventually spoke to the frantic EA asking what was going on...at which point I suggested he tried to go back to the original gazumpers and see if they were still interested.

Had ours valued by a National Estate agent who valued it at 130k which surprised me so went to a local Estate agent who valued it at 170k which is a massive difference. Didn't know who to believe until the estate agent showed me similar properties in our area that had gone for 170 k also their fees were 1% as opposed to 2% with the national one. Obviously the 130k would get the big boys a quick sale with no benefit for us

They been barking like fork tonight. No way the fat mess is taking his out for a cold 6am winter walk when she's finally off furlough. Lockdowns the new Christmas

Ah mate. Now you’ve reminded me of the only serious aggro I’ve had with a neighbour in 20 years living on this street. Used to let the f***ing thing out after 9pm and let the bastard bark for half an hour. At that time I was getting up at 4.30 am. Went on for about 6 months, selfish c***s. Steamed over there one night, ended up nose to nose.

Anyway, thanks for aggravating me all over again.

Maybe there is scope for a Beasts of April 12th thread. Few live reporters from here

It’s the quiet intellectuals you need to look out for mate.

People who mock death

We have just seen examples of this with the recent passing of Prince Philip

Shallow individuals who think they are soooo cooooll
