I am against lying on here. For me its pointless. How can you get an ego kick from lying to people you will never meet? I take the opposite position. Being honest on here has no downside - ie. if i'm totally honest to a personal friend I can hurt them. So, we are all educated skilled people. If we are honest we can learn perhaps. Or at least have more interesting conversations than possible in real life.
I am an unemployed shelf stacker living in a council bedsit. The only gold I own is a 9ct plated chunky neckless I bought at a jumble sale. I'm up to my eyes in debt and closest I've got a million pounds is getting three questions right whilst watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I am however, 7 foot tall.

According to sasguru in the CUK archives in 2005, he was living mortgaged up to the eyeballs, debt laden as far as the eye could see.Roll forward to 2011 and not only does he now live mortgage free in a £1m+ house, but has a superbike, and a Mazda MPS, and Aygo on the drive, £50K shed in the garden, a retirement property bought for cash in Portugal when the pound is worth fook all and reems of cash in the bank as he says "waiting to snap up dozens of prime central London real estate" for his BTL portfolio.
Can this sockies script writers please refer to their notes for any future posts.
Thankyou.
Course I was if you count BTL as "mortgaged up tp the eyeballs". I sold my properties between 2005 and 2007.
Also you're making the rather stupid assumption that it's only me that's economically active in the family.
Cretin.
