ere, that "paddys not at work today" thing was disproved on that Mythbusters program on Discovery the other night......ahhh synchronicity!......They also proved that you can safely wee on an electrified rail track without yer todger bursting into flames too.

Unless it's falling from a great height towards you.

Cue for a song...

Why Paddy's Not At Work Today...

I think we recruitment agents could teach them a thing or two about profeshunlysm :hat

Nearly all common phrases and sayings are the result of misquotes.

I hummmbbbbbly apologise, I was simply too lazy to check.

"It hung in the air the way a brick doesn't."

Douglas Adam.

"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't."

Douglas Adams

Apologies for pedantry, but I felt your misquote completely obliterated the comic essence of that line.

"It hung in the air the way a brick doesn't."

Douglas Adam.

And don't forget there's nothing safer than bricks and mortar.

Unless it's falling from a great height towards you.

The government, seasonally adjusted house price index, shows the -0.8% fall was infact a 37.2% increase.

After the Easter price drop comes, the summer doldrums, followed by the Autumn blues, and then it gets quiet over Critsmas.... but that's normal for the early part of the century and should perk-up towards the middle of the century.

Even a 50% price drop will look like a small blip by 2050.

That 0.8% drop last month still sees a 5.7% increase over the year.
Other reporters in this field ie Halifax say that this was not unexpected due to easter falling early.

what's wrong with scousers. I know quite a few nice ones

Re: re crash

Ask me again in 6 months time.

re crash

would you call 0.8 of one percent a crash?

See this one then if ytou think thats a bit biased

www.citywire.co.uk/News/N...onID=74965

Comes from the goverment and shows a 0.8% drop or about £2k off the average house price for the past month

Cheers peeps.

These guys (estate agents) truly take the piss when it comes to cost.
