Holy poo poo the house might be ours by the end of the week that's a surprise. :stare:

Just waiting for documents to move around and one final inspection then I can go do a buy off inspection.


Woooooooooooooooooo!

I need to move house in the next month, trying to find a 4 bed place to rent that has a garage and drive is surprisingly hard in this town due to virtually every single property with 4 rooms or more being bought up by landlords to rent out to university students for 4/5 times the cost of their mortgages.

It's bollocks really and I don't want to buy a place.

Not Monday anymore here. I wish the original gauntlet game was on n64. I loved that game so much in the arcades. Seems a shame the nintendo with 4 controllers doesn't have a direct port. Right now playing cruisin' world, getting drunk and trying to PITT other NPCs for fun rather than win. Seems hard to do, it's easier to get NPCs to crash by hogging the road and them trying to PITT me. Driving the GM looking thing with the massive blower on top, launching with the wheels up on start seems to give a massive advantage to get from 9th to the front on the start if you get it right.

I remember the gauntlet game on N64 being loving awesome. Gauntlet Legacy or something like that. I played the heck out of that with the neighbor kids.

I still have holes in my hands from the twin sticks. Mario party rules.

My buddy shattered his femur drunk on a motorcycle. We baked him some pot cookies to take to him in the hospital. To make sure he didnt eat all of them in one go because he would have, we laced them with cayenne pepper. He thanked us later.

Gauntlet Legends. It was a bit poo poo but my friends and I just had to finish it...

Kinda sad that consoles concentrate on single player poo poo or multiplayer online rather than giving you an excuse to pile your friends over into your living room, have some drinks, lovely takeaway and smash some games.

Yeah, I looked it up and it was some 3d version that looks poo poo.
Back in the 90s I bought a playstation because I couldn't afford a PC. I mainly bought driving games for it (tocca, gt, rally etc), plus tekken and soccer.
My GF at the time wanted a n64 for banjo kazoie, so I bought that system too, along with zelda, mario kart, dk, perfect dark. Now I'm just sitting here wishing I could play the 2d original gauntlet somehow; that's my thought for the day.

Back in the day, used to have people bring over PCs for multiplayer fun. Setting up a lan and getting everyone installed and patched was a nightmare. I still have literal boxes of cat5, power leads and a few 10 port switched hubs laying around.

I'd put that around 2006-7 or so, just after the 2002, during the E30 era, and from memory mere months before the tale of Lowered Expectations. Possibly as late as 2008/9, I'd have to check dates on photos to be sure.

Basically a male Margaret Thatcher

quote:

The way we decide to view it is the way it is. Cat, your "utter truth" is yours and yours alone, and is created by your reaction, not by the world itself.

You seriously need to get more cynical because bluntly put, what I described is exactly how the world works. You are a nothing, we all are nothings, the world does not give a poo poo about you or problems, evil fat fucks think of new and exciting ways for the young men to die, Huxley's Brave New World AND Orwell's 1984 have come true, politicans and corporations rule your life like the Kings and slavemasters of old... and you can do absolutly nothing about it.

That is the bitter, cruel and harsh truth of the world Mankind has created.

Now if you want my "Yours and Yours alone" opinion, I view that there are escapes that seem obvious but you dont realize how difficult they are until you try them. Mine is "Don't be an rear end in a top hat". The world severely tries my patience and temper even on the best of days to say the least.

Thinking about the fastback again sent me in search of the exact moment the abyss finally stared back.










And then I got to the end of the thread and cried rereading the post where I sold the only car that's ever treated me right. Then realised start to finish that entire train wreck was almost exactly six months from purchase to sale and distinctly remember owning it for over a year :stare:


I've been chasing that fix ever since.

I just found out that my dad decided with two of my uncles to buy out my grandmother's house for a rental property before it goes out for sale through some convoluted scheme where they mortgage their existing rental property to buy out the three remaining brothers and themselves so they get an inheritance.

This comes like two months after I asked my dad if he wanted to buy out that house, I'd sell my place and if he just kept his stake in the property we could get a mortgage for the rest. I'd take over 70% of the mortgage and use the income from renting the downstairs to pay the rest plus buy him with interest with anything remaining. Finally after I got all my uncles to agree to it in principle he basically told me to gently caress off and that'd be too much work.

I'm a little pissed to be honest.
