HDM

Is this the same Prescott junior who went tits up with a clothing shop ? Brit ? or the one who was involved in buying a whole street of council houses on NHE off HCC at a ridiculously low price a few years back ?
When questioned about the low price paid, as individuals had offered considerably more, he or the firm he was involved with were sold the houses at such a low price 'because they could afford to refurbish them'...................or words/excuses like that.

 

No, it was a list of the 10 most prominent from Hull or something like that. May have been in a national paper, possibly the Guardian, come to think of it. I remember a fair few commenting they were from Hull and didn't want people to think he was from there.

 

The sooner local newspaper websites are forced to close down (or redesign their websites so they are even slightly user-friendly) the better. It's like they are designed to lower the number of page visits.

 

At one point I think the HDM was owned by the national version of the Daily Mail, but now I see that HDM is owned by Trinity Mirror Group, I assume this is the same group who publish the Daily Mirror, a paper I used to buy, along with The Sun, pre Murdoch I may hasten to add and now seems as much crap as The Sun itself. How papers in general seemed to have sunk in editorial quality these day, I actually liked buying papers at one time, the physical more than an online presence. In fact I have had a couple of subscriptions to a couple of papers, The Sunday Times, which took me all week to read, and the Sunday Mail, both I could ignore their right ring bias at time as their journalistic content was very good, remember the Thalidomide scandal?

 

To quote the sergeant major out of It Ain't Half Hot Mum "Oh dear, never mind"

 

I offered more then £5k for one.

 

Looks like you dodged a bullet then if they were in such a state.

 

Looks like the posh Part of glasgow

 

I don't believe a word of the spin about them being beyond repair. They were 1930's and either terraced or semi's, either way they were a snip at £5k each, I actually think they went for a lot less then that.
Houses on the same estate sell today for up to £100k.

 

One of my old clients bought a place in Dane Park for £10k. Spent £5k doing it up and was expecting £100pm DSS. Someone trashed it before he let it, invalidating his insurance.

 

how do you lock yourself out of a shed
I could understand man locks himself in a shed

 

Thanks for the correction. I thought there was another part but couldn't remember what it was. It's an age thing I think.

 

Mrs. LBIA did this a couple if days ago, she locked the padlock, only to find the next day that we couldn't find the keys anywhere, the obvious conclusion that she'd locked the ****er's in the shed. All of my tools were locked in there so I had to borrow a neighbours drill to drill the barrel out, only to find that there were no keys in the shed. Ten minutes later she found them in the pocket of one of her coats

Moral to the story, she has far too many coats!

 

I can remember stuff from 30 years ago it's things that happened 30 minutes ago I have problems with!

 

Think you are missing a trick here.

Ring paper, get em down to shed , get your lass to pose arms folded in front of aid looking indignant/dismayed and pad out the story a bit.

Job done.
