Today I saw ‘Bus 175’. Fantastic documentary and a very sad and tragic one, left me in tears. Kay, I think you’d enjoy seeing this. I won’t describe the story but if you’re in Melbourne then go to the Nova where it’s showing.
Regards,
Gatsby!

Boyler_Room,
You’ve hit it on the head. Often we are sitting on a mount of knowledge and act and believe that’s all we are capable of doing. Then we look up and see a huge mount (knowledge) that we weren’t aware of. The moment we discover this (knowledge) we immediately become aware of how much we don’t know (our ignorance). I think Socrates put…[Read more]

Hi kay,
I guess I answered what I wanted to say in a confusing way, because your reply is what I was on about. You must have your own life individuality in a relationship. My comment was that if one partner chooses PIing and the other is anti PIing, then you have a hard battle on your hands.
Cheers,
Gatsby!

PS my dear Melbear,
That Jim fix story ‘was actually fair dinkum’, as are 99% of the stuff I post!
Love ya work!,
Cheers,
Gatsby!

Hey Mel,
how are you? Thanks for the compliment (?, I think, ?).
Anyway about 3 years ago,……..actually no, that was yesterday!
Cheers,
Gatsby!
PS. Actually 4 years ago,…..actually no, that was someone else!!!!

Hi Vicgirl,
The ‘rent reliant’ attitude of banks was something that was new to me a while ago which was something I never considered (after all, the goal was to have rent’s eventually replacing your income?). Also never be too shy too ask the most ‘simple/stupid or basic’ of questions, as these will be the foundation blocks of your soon to be…[Read more]

Rach/Bennido,
I have to agree entirely with Derek’s advice. In a relationship you must maintain a sense of individuality, but in property, if one is interested/passionate and the other is not then it will be bloody hard work and will hold one partner back. However, you mention that the difference in the relationship is in comfort levels in…[Read more]

Hi Aceducey,
I think you’re correct. The ‘fess up book’ will sell like elusive cashflow properties get snapped up. I’ve actually decided to finally write a book (after a lot of soul searching) about my life. Don’t hold your breath though, but ‘somehow’ I’ll find a way of doing it. Be careful though when you read it. I wouldn’t want anyone ending…[Read more]

Kay,
hang onto your book. Keep it for a few months then auction it off and then put the money on property!
Cheers,
Gatsby!

Yeah but Afghangirl,
then I saw her family tree. It turned out to be a cactus. Full of pricks? Then I had to show her mine (damn it), it turned out to be a stump!!
Cheers,
Gatsby!

Actually, sorry. I didn’t mean to offend any women on this site with my last comment. That was a bit below the belt (and belive me, she wore one, black I think it was?). I meant to refer to my last girlfriend. Her idea when we mentioned foreplay was ‘brace yourself!’
Cheers,
Gatsby!

Love is a funny thing.
Sometimes you can be sexually/physically attracted to someone and yet the more you get to know them, if the lantern is not lit from the inside, their beauty as a whole quickly fadess. Then you can meet someone who you can’t possibly imagine in being in a relationship with. However the more you get to know of them, their…[Read more]

Stanleone,
What part of the ‘story’ was the ‘entertainment factor’ that caused you to ‘chuckle?
Cheers,
Gatsby!

Lisa,
If you go to another meeting, all you will have lost is about an hour and a half of your time.
Cheers
Gatsby! PM me if you wish.

Cheers Jars!!!,
Sorry I didn’t get to meet you (or did I?). Also Simon, great to meet you also this morning!
Cheers
‘GLADIATOR (?)!’

Mini Mogul and Richmond,
great to meet you both and put a face to an avatar! (pity is wasn’t until the end).
Kind regards,
“GUTSBY!”

Nice one Patrick!
In regards to credit cards I only use it for all property related bills (rates,etc) and life expenses such as petrol, food etc and pay it off at the end of the interest free period. Repairs for property I pay cash as I get a much less expensive bill from friends as a result. Also I use the card for booking theatre tickets or…[Read more]

I have no personal experience as such with network marketing. I think the real value though if I ever considered entering such a system would be ‘work to learn, don’t work for money’. I imagine the real value from network marketing are the skills that you can develop for yourself that you can later transfer to other areas (such as investment…[Read more]

Coffee, cigarettes,..hmmm????
There’s something brewing here? Beats me.
Cheers,
Gatsby!

Sorry to change tack slightly but I’d be interested in the percentage of members to ‘multiple single members’??
Cheers,
Gatsby!
