Coke, speed pills and a bit of green when chilling poolside.

That was my last big party holiday as I hit 30. Times are a changing

Fuck me, have rents gone through the roof since I last bothered looking?
Or is Milton Keynes suddenly Knightsbridge?

I'm going to have to reassess my moral position on not owning more than one property, I think.

Try not being a smug prick for once in your life.
You were the one exclaiming at his renting at 29. You can't then do the "yeah, it's expensive in the south, you DICK" routine. He is renting, because house prices here are expensive. We could all afford to buy in York. We haven't because we don't want to fucking live there.
(, Tue 22 Jan 2013, 15:57, Reply)
oh K Bone
Property prices tend to correlate to average salary bands in the area. Hence you maybe could afford to buy in York.

And yeah, York's a shithole, unlike Slough and Milton Keynes. Famous for its hideous city centre in fact. You got me there.
(, Tue 22 Jan 2013, 16:03, Reply)
You're genuinely unbelievable.
You take the piss out of Chompy for renting. It's pointed out to you that's due to the high cost of buying in the south. You're all "lol yeah, well done, house prices fluctuate".

You're a cock.

York also has a high cost of buying.

Not as high as the south, even MK, which you're so disparaging about.

Genuinely
I mean, granted I haven't rented in the SE for about 10 or 11 years, but the last place I rented was a 2-bed detached cottage in central Wokingham with a fuck-load of land for £400 per month.

Given Wokingham is, let's face it, just a touch more expensive to live in than MK, that's in excess of 100% inflation of rent in 10 years. Jesus fuck, I need to cut my morality, go over to the cunt side and buy myself some more property.
