Reply to: The Housing Ladder

[TimberWolf]

Most people are stuffed when it comes to buying a house. It's not just a case of being skint and getting by. It is impossible to get a house on average wages and bring up kids in the Sarf East. If only that nice Mr. King would pop up the interest rates to about 7%, we can have the proper phase of house price 'adjustment' and get back to normal...

WHS. Unfortunately I gather the UK economy is inextricably dependent on forever rising house prices.

Not really. But the Bible documents many extremely wealthy people who lost it all due to their sin and disobedience to God's Righteous ways.

It's obviously bothering you as you keep on bringing up the subject of Christianity with me, for some reason.

Who the hell does this pathetic trolling sockie belong to and why isn't the owner banned already?

I'm an atheist yet God has provided for me much more than he has for you.
I guess he likes a bolshie git.

A very interesting question. As for myself, divorce ended my ascent up the ladder. Indeed a precipitated my descent.

Now I'm very happy in my modest abode, and I'd only 'upsize' if I won the lottery

Same here, but I don't buy lottery tickets.

I bought this house as it was cheaper than renting a flat, it's not perfect but I've no real motivation to consider moving.

Yes, if I were God then these grovelling brown-nosers would really get on my tits.

Go to Hell

He's there already, believing in his fantasy. At least Dim's fantasy is a kind of aspiration :-)

[sasguru]

well you have nothing else to quote except your own opinions I guess. Funny how atheists are so reliant on Christianity to make any kind of point.

I'm an atheist and I really hate quoting the bible, but:

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life

Ecclesiastes, ch 8, v 15

I must admit to having a relatively large kitchen, however I never eat ready made meals.

I have an average size one which has been badly planned by the previous owner and with three doors to the kitchen you don't get much worktop space.

This limits what I can do in the kitchen and as someone who really likes to cook, it is a pain.

Hence once Mr Norr gets a job, there will be a new house purchase (no point extending, already looked into it and it won't add much value to the house).
The current house will be rented out (it's never been the "forever home").

[norrahe]

nor have I understood why some people require huge kitchens when their cooking consists of mainly ready made meals and takeaways

That really gets on my nerves and I know of one two many people who have done that.
