Were they tooting?
There a town in the UK called Tooting. It doesn't attract many tourists.
Probably there is a certain air about the place.
Gas is cheap there, I hear.
They were known for their rafts...until people realized they were all dyslexic.
Frats? I didn't know they were a college town.

I always got a kick out of George Carlin and his observations on humanity.
"When two people are in an elevator and one of them rafts... Everyone knows who did it."
So, using that anagram, would bean-o be considered a form of fraticide?
Nice. Good to see you give it the old college try.
I went to two VERY old colleges (at least for the US), one for undergrad and one for grad school, so that's the only try I know other than the one followed by a catch.
Help me with my code in the C# section you so called code elitists :mad:
Btw I win :bigyello:
That's what every other section of this site is for. Chit-chat is for pretending we already know it all.Quote:

I think it is for all of the above, regardless of what set you consider to be all of the above.

I learned that rafts is a dyslexic version of farts. I guess that fits this request.....Quote:

I recently moved.
And by moved I mean we moved our entire house in 5 hours...
I am wore out!
I read that as "***** out" - wow - gotta clean my glasses...
[edit] left("wore",1) + "h" + right("wore",3) [/edit]
You moved the whole house? Did you have to jack it up and put it on rollers, or is this a collapsible house like my tent?
Why'd you move, anyways? Was the water reaching the front door? Was it easier than vacuuming?
I was living in Lake Charles, but I started my business in Sulphur. The distance between my work and job was only 12 miles and going to work took me about 15 minutes, but on my way back it could take an hour to an hour and a half. We were kind of halfway looking and found a home that is 3/4 a mile away from my work in between the elementary and high school. It was listed for $125k but we asked for $105k and he took it.
Really the location was important because my wife isn't licensed to drive so if I'm busy and she wants to go to the park or the store then she can just walk there now where as before she couldn't.
Looks nice. Very green.
I wish I lived that close to work...oh yeah, I bought my house so that I could walk to work...then switched offices. It'll do, though.
Yeah, you gotta be 16 to drive in Louisiana. :eek:Quote:

Well that what happens when you start your business on a Volcano your wheels probably melted on the way thereQuote:

More seriously though, that's about £80,000. Returning to the old house price discussion that is CHEAP !!!!! how big is your new house dday?Quote:

I was going to say that I would have expected houses to be cheaper than that in Louisiana. That's more than I paid for my 1800 sq. ft. house in Idaho. It's not more than the current valuation of the house, but not by much. I don't know the current valuation, I just know it's somewhere in that range.
I thought you sold insurance?? Is sulphur more profitable?Quote:

It is in the best part of town, I'm sandwhiched between two schools(0.1 miles away from the elementary school and 0.2 from the high school) which means that there will be no registered sex offenders anywhere near us, there is only 1 home on our street that is being rented which means that there is significantly better upkeep of the houses, and I could just go on and on.
To give you an example, we found a home that was the same square footage and same bed/bath count in a different neighborhood that was listed for $65,000 and we were told that the owner rejected an all cash offer of $50,000 the day it was listed, but since then it had sat on the market for over 3 months so he would likely be a little bit more negotiable. The issue with that home was that it was next to a railroad track, the neighbor was definately a horder because his junk was overpouring onto the yard of the home that was listed, and it was more than walking distance from the school.
I still sell insurance, not sulphur ;P
Just paid off my house.
Woo Hoo!
That is amazing!
How do you intend to enjoy this newly freed up income?
Well....the car broke down on Saturday, which is kind of an indicator that I ought to be thinking about replacing it. It has a few issues, but still looks great and (usually) runs great, but it has 230,000 miles on it. I think I'll put that off until spring, as I'd like to get through the winter without dealing with that. Might start looking earlier, I just don't really know whether there's anything on the market that truly suits me, so it might be a lengthy search.
There's a bit of a remodel coming over the winter and spring, too. Being somewhat aesthetically challenged, that's a ponderous process for me. The goal may be to replace the wood stove, but if I'm going to do that I really need to do so in conjunction with whatever I'm going to do with the floor, but if I'm going to do the floor I really should paint first, and I may have to alter the countertop in the kitchen.
So, the first step is to figure out what color to paint the living room, which is all that is going to get painted, I think.
I saw a camel ask the bank on his cellphone what color to paint a guest bedroom. They were not too helpful; I think he went with taupe.Quote:

Here's a one bedroom mobile near me for roughly that (a little more actually). Mind you, there's less chance of being eaten by alligators in Bristol.
Wood burning stoves are popular here, but it is a disqualifier for many insurance companies. In fact, in my risk management guidelines for the primary company that I represent doesn't allow for wood burning stoves and then 2 of the 3 brokering companies that I write through also don't allow for wood burning stoves.
Looked it up with Google Earth... here we would call that a trailer park. But it's near a place called Catbrain!Quote:

Yeah i wrote and deleted 2 posts, after ddays post on his new house, but i think we Brits just have to accept that there is just a lot of land in the USQuote:

Saying that i watched a programme about New York Property the other day and yikes i am surprised anyone can afford to live anywhere near New York anymore its kind of what London is aspiring to!!!
Really thats interesting, it doesn't really figure on UK insurance i wonder why that is?? Could it be due to the materials used for house construction?Quote:

I have no idea. Bristol has an airport but it's out to the west rather than North. It looks like a pretty big one, though.Quote:

Si might know more about it. He's lived here longer than me.
Tell me about it. It must be great to be an American... apart from the fact that it would mean being American:pQuote:

It may just be localized to Louisiana too, I'm not familiar with underwriting guidelines in other states.Quote:

I often won't use the stove for a month or two during the winter simply because I don't want to be contributing more to the problem. Once an inversion sets in, it can get hard to breathe, though most years, the air quality doesn't degrade too badly.
Everybody appears to be on vacation.
I'm going to Nashville, but it is for work not pleasure.
oh oh let me guess, your going to record a Country album?Quote:
