I agree

I got caught once by a slick insurance salesman 20 yrs ago. I had…[Read more]

Sounds all very sob story, poor little battlers even better if they’re ‘low status’ i.e. little old lady battlers, crying, makes great television.

Yes it is indeed a sob story, but I think it is better to broadcast this then do nothing at all, because stories like…[Read more]

I’m still alive, I didn’t see you there CHan and Sis!
Seriously, OOOHHH I felt really sorry for the people affected![glum]

Even if it was-kindof- their own fault for not doing enough research etc, don’t forget that the scammers made sure the victims were really hyped up and excited, and also if EVERY single person they meet is in on the scam,…[Read more]

That would be soooooooooo funny!
You will all have to come to my funeral when I die of lauging!

No really you’re too funny, Chan![party]

And Kay thanks for reminding us, I forgot all about it and don’t want to miss it!

Thanks Chan!

That’s a good idea, too, Acey, that way it can be ‘spread out’ over the year and not so much spending all in the one week.

I was wondering, what do bunnies and eggs really have to do with Easter? Is there a legend or some history behind it?

Gee Simon, how did you guess, I look exactly like that![blink]

Are you sending your photo in too? Pleeeeaaaase?
My guess: [army]

Chan looks like[cowboy]

PPPPGGGG come home, we need ya!

AAWWW I forgive you investorgirl, if your intentions were only to get honest feedback.
I don’t mind reading your book and will put it on my ‘to read’ list.

But on this forum, you won’t have to worry about people holding back, I have found!!!

Anyway, Acey, you’d make a damn good private investigator![thumbsupanim]

Hi, just want to say that I’ve been trying to send my picture to you (I used the email address mentioned on the first page) a few times but I’m getting them all back saying they’re undeliverable.
Is this email address still valid? Are there problemoes?

I think a good PM is worth every cent.

I read between the lines and have the impression that you don’t REALLY want to be called at night and having to organise fixing all sorts of problems, from plumbing to electrical.

You may also have to listen to every little problem under the sun.

You may even have to take a tenant to the tribunal one…[Read more]

That’s FANTASTIC Chan, congratulations!

I’m reading the new Margaret Lomas book at the moment and she actually recommends to buy a property sight unseen!
SHe even advices you should not even see photo’s of the property!!
She says that it is enough to do a lot of research (like Kay mentioned) and go from there. This way you won’t get emotionally involved.

I dunno…
Not sure if I ever…[Read more]

That’s terrible, Nathan, what a bunch of idiots![axe]

I am with CGU, so thanks for the warning!

Chan do you mind telling me which insurance you found that was better than CGU, so I may join them before I need to renew my insurance.

I will watch them like a hawk from now.

I wish you luck, Chan! And others.
Please try coz “Smoking’s bad, ankay!”

Have you a plan or strategy to quit? (Geez I sound a bit like Steve, hehe).

There are some good books that can help you quit. My brother, who quit over 2 years ago, said a book by an author called Carr helped him a lot.(Don’t know the title {probably something obvious like…[Read more]

Gee CHan, you gotta look for another job now!

Thanks, Kay, hehehe, hope you won’t mess up your sheets tonight from eating all those eggs.[puke]

chocolate mmmm”

SO funny, Gramyere, you’re cracking me up! It’s good to bring some humour into…[Read more]

JohnO I like your wise insight about purpose.
It can be a struggle to find your purpose, many people find their true purpose only by accident.

It was very funny, pisces, I had a good laugh!
Maybe you should have thrown some Dodo’s into the offer as well!

Your knowledge will be still very welcome on this forum.

Hehehe Simon, you’re too funny![party]
But if it made your day, it made my day, too LOL![thumbsupanim]
Thanks!
