Sold the barn years ago. Took me 10 years to fully renovate it. Ran it as a rental property for a while, but met a girl in a different country. Got married, moved away. Made a chunk of profittss and bought a little place in upstate New York. The last time I cried was when I shut the door for the la...

Yes. split my time between NY and California. Work in Los Angeles, go home to NY when time allows. Very different to rural France.

LOL @ 8 year necro. Glad to see there are still some rules around here. :wink: Sold the barn years ago. Took me 10 years to fully renovate it.

{originally posted in this thread... } Like all good comets I come back around after a set number of years. What a road trip reading this thread was. Gary Bolton. Ha. No one mentioned Candy Girl, or LV’s ‘incident’ with a car immobiliser crook lock. That alone dates the members as well as an Antarc...

Whats the best cheese to hide a horse?

Mascarpone.

Whats the best cheese to tempt a bear from the woods?

Camembert.

They do very little to help with the running of the country AFAIK. Is that apart from the 100s of millions of pounds they rake in? I read somewhere it costs 60p per person in the country to pay for the royals. How much does it cost per person to pay for all the scum bags in prison? Not sure of my p...

That would be Grimm and the, erm, the thingy gang. It will come to me the moment I press submit. ;) You must* tell about you house. We had the story/saga of it's purchase so it's only an update. I don't know what makes an old timer, but I think I am one. *unless you don't want to. Grimm - well reme...

Still waiting to hear from "cappedup" . He's about an hour from NY city (north). So I'm guessing around 100 miles or so. Came through pretty much fine as well. Lost internet for a long time. most other houses lost power for quite a few days. We were one of those that didnt. Garage is slightly below...

Hi. Bought a HP wireless printer. D110a All in one Eprint jobby. Installed on my Laptop real easy. Works a dream with all the bells and whistles features that come with. Great. Used CD. Wife has a Asus Netbook which hasnt gone so well. No CD drive, so downloaded software from HP. I read that Netbook...

I'm surrounded by woods and hopefully it will knock the wind down. We're projected for 100mph winds + for the area I live in. I'm hoping for it to start turning East. stu Hey. I'm currently in the woods about 1hr north of NYC. Thinking the woods will either dissipate the wind, or knock a tree onto ...

Can go into the village pub alone, and strike up a convo with someone. If you talk to the barman, some locals will often join in. Don't get that in a city either... Incorrect. I am often in pubs alone. Working away, waiting for people, passing time, getting away from the wife, whatever. I very rare...

I blame video games!

Congratulations all round, it seems! (Including for the accident--I know it's an odd thing to say, but you're the luckiest person I've ever heard of; you somehow manage to do all these horrible things to yourself and yet you're still alive and (relatively) fit and healthy! :-)). Cheers, i know what...

Does CappedUp injuring himself count as news? It kinda used to. When i was building here, it was more common than it is now. Skiing and crashing cars had more to play with it than industrial accidents. @mb I thought I was paid up until 2020 or something :) website not going anywhere in a hurry, wel...

Why not keep it and rent it as a holiday cottage? If you don't have a loan on it any more then you should keep it... It's in the centre of wine country... You could get an agency to rent it out if you don't want the hassle... Land in Europe is constantly going up in price... if you sell you'll neve...

Your barn turned out really well. I remember reading your old posts when it wasn't even close to completion, what a great job you did of it. I know it's rude to ask so feel free not to answer, but overall would that be a healthy profit? It's always nice to see more 06 Nov, 2002 people around this p...

How do? Ive been absent for a while, apologies. Ever been so busy you struggle to find the time to piss? You know you need to slow down when the time spent getting rid of bodily waste is negotiable as possible extra work time. Anyway, I nearly chopped my finger off yesterday cos I was rushing, so I ...

ive only been going to the US for a couple of years, but im bored of 1 dollar notes. American money is all the same colour and size. I open my wallet and im faced with a bunch of bits of paper, and it isnt instantly apparant whats in there. Yes, you might say i should know, but sometimes i'm drunk, ...

Hate to say it, and i do - but my ps3 version works just fine. And it is stunning. If it had a problem, i would imagine it had a better chance of getting fixed with an update than fiddling around inside a pc case. But no ps3 game i have owned has had a problem so i don't know. I can count the proble...
