Got bored - you once said you'd love to take your ol' man to Memphis - there's your holiday.

That might be a bit rich for me at this time of year.
I need to have a proper look at places. Where in europe would you suggest?

Isn't Eastern Europe supposed to still be cheap?

( girlinthehole, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 22:13, Reply)

Dunno
I'll investigate!
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 22:16, Reply)

Don't really know much about Europe
I've always gone West.

You'd get a good price on transatlantic at the moment though.

Cheaper than an Italian cruise?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 22:16, Reply)

Look it up!
I'm not your travel agent.

It was a joke!

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 22:17, Reply)

I bought a model of an Italian cruise - ship
I couldn't afford it, so I asked them to put it to one side.

Got anymore?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 22:21, Reply)

Apart from the obvious "huge gash on the underside" ones, that's it.

Wayhay!
What is new in TD Land?

How is the work situation going?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 22:41, Reply)

Not very well
I'm living off driving at the moment.

One of my flats comes empty at the end of February and I may have to sell it.

I'm never skint, but right at the moment things are tight.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 22:53, Reply)

Well at least you're aware of that now, rather than just hoping the problem goes away.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 22:54, Reply)

It was always a gamble
And I tried - but it just hasn't worked.

I know why and how it hasn't worked too. But I tried.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 23:04, Reply)

Better to have given it a try than it is to do nothing.
Do you have equity in the flat?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 23:08, Reply)

Oh yeah...
One of the four that I own outright.

Like I said, I'm not skint but that was a bit of my retirement fund.

There's also a number of houses. What worries me now is how far I've got to chip into them.

EDIT - Yes I'm a slum landlord.

Ah, but you're still more prepared than most.
And on that basis, you can sort yourself out, and also start a new project or two with some of the capital.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 23:26, Reply)

I've also got a bigger CV than most
I miss working hard. I'm the best strategic planner I've ever met. I'm bored shitless right now.

I work best in a company in meltdown and I drag it back again by myself, without the public sector insistence on committee.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 23:33, Reply)

Why not see if the 'in administration' sector are recruiting?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 23:39, Reply)

I have my eye on something
It's been badly managed, it needs a cash injection which I could probably manage, it's local.

Never worry about TD.

Oh, but I do mate!

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 23:44, Reply)

I may be an idiot on b3ta
But I'm not an idiot really.

The property thing was the first kick in the nads I've ever had.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 23:51, Reply)

Why is the property available?
'ere, you ain't one of them slum landlords are ya?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 23:53, Reply)

I make no bones about being a slum landlord - I am one
And I've just been cleaning cat sick off my kitchen floor.

Bedtime.
