The Smug housing thread ...

[AtW]

Worked this cycle beautifully. Bought my first 2-bed garden flat in 1995 for 56K. Put deposits on a further 3 more during the course of 97-99. Rents covered mortgage easily. Upgraded the first one to a house. Sold the 3 BTLs for mega profit last year. Used part to pay off house. Loads of cash to invest in the next cycle.

Pathetic really - wine turns into vinegar, and great British inventors turned into sasgurus

And having BTLs stops you having sex exactly how?

he means sex with other people

And having BTLs stops you having sex exactly how?

No, I think it is your looks, wit and charm that do that!!

HTH

[sasguru]

Because you drone on and on about how clever you are and how many BTLs you have thereby ensuring that any potential sexual partner has left the room before you've even begun patting yourself on the back.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Luckily it wasn't mine.

Sas, why don't you just retire?

Evidently you've got all the money you will ever need, along with a fine automobile and a mrs - what more has working life got to offer you?

And great Russian literary giants turn into atws - living in bedsits and writing crap on internet forums.
More pathetic than that?

Nope, a lot less pathetic - you see I am trying to be inventor, not a writer (I don't think Russia has got many good writers anyway), in this respect I am more British than you matey.

Need another catch bag here!

Almost more fun than Snaw baiting.

That was going to be the plan. But I think I can exploit the next cycle and retire in 10 years with enough to guarantee not working ever again.

What will you invent a brand of communism for the Y2K generation?

(It's already been invented BTW and its called China.)

Now be gone or I'll report you to Red Watch.
