It's like an episode of The Persuaders around Kroney's "gaff".

I just need multiple millions and an American sidekick.
A couple of grand and a rani flatmate just don't cut it.

RANI?
Neau wai!

Do you get decent home cooked curries?

Absolutely, though she has to do mine separately at four stops reduced
because full potency literally makes me cry.

Though I don't get any raisins in it. Bitch.

Hahahaha.
You were crying like a pussy! That must get your chilli tolerance up.

I haven't been brave enough to try full power again after that.
I felt like I'd been drinking acid.

I tried that in Thailand.
"I'll have it Thai strength".

It made me spew up there and then. The little kids eat it!

Not the spew.

Looks like you can get a reasonable one for about 8 grand.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Wed 8 Jan 2014, 16:42, Reply)

Yeah, or I could get a ratty one for 3 and change everything but the body shell.

There is a total ground up rebuild on Autotrader for 25 grand!

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Wed 8 Jan 2014, 16:51, Reply)

That'd eat a little too far into my mortgage fund.

( Kroney, Wed 8 Jan 2014, 16:53, Reply)

how have you got that fund invested?
If it's sitting in cash then you should really move it into a balanced portfolio of roughly 20% property, 20% fixed interest, 20% overseas equity and 40% UK equities.

In an ISA and the rest in the same proportions in an OEIC.

( edjogs Collared doves are shit., Wed 8 Jan 2014, 17:03, Reply)

It's sitting in cash, spread out over various bank accounts
that offer between .75 and 3%

My ISA doesn't seem to want to take my money. That's at 1.5, though. Doesn't seem that great.
( Kroney, Wed 8 Jan 2014, 17:07, Reply)

cash ISAs are pointless.
You can put 11520 in a stocks and shares ISA, and the another 11880 in April. Assuming you follow that investment split, you should make about 10% over a year. Could drop in value though, but unlikely in a rising market such as we have now.

You're currently losing money as you're not getting above 3% net.
