Many many local papers are online. Just type the name of the town into google.com. I read regional/country town newspapers online all the time, if I am interested in an area.

Also, local real estates often have a “media releases” link attached to their sites. They are worthwhile to check out too, even if a little biased :o)

Basically, you can…[Read more]

As I said, this article was pasted mostly for newbies :o) Just so they can get some alternative ideas on things.

Jenman has one idea, and many folks on here have posted other ideas. Thanks for your comments folks- i’m all for democracy and widely held views

Thanks for all your replies :o) Some great ideas there. I can’t really afford it anyhoo (in terms of what I’m looking for in a portfolio) – but surely churches are pretty fashionable real estate :o)

If I had it, i would definitely make use of its current features… it looks like the pastor has just up and abandoned it and left the pews…[Read more]

Paul,

If you’re into calculating all costs, don’t forget landlords protection insurance (about 300 bucks) and a QS report for depreciation- even if the property was built before 1985 (i presume this is the case) which will cost you from $300-450, but which will get you back much more than your accountant can. Plus insurance for your place if the…[Read more]

Council Plans often discuss that kind of thing. I often look up the Council site and check out what is being planned for the city in terms of infrastructure etc.

Local community/neighbourhood newspapers are also a good source and some of them are even online!

hehe CheekyOldBat,

The other topic was more relevant to me :o) But the advice in those pastes- gawd.. The only useful ones were in the first part- the look good part.

ok, i am sure noone is gonna believe me (or care- hehe) but i just got 32 for my game- that’s 16 under par! Holes in 1 from holes 2-7 (inclusive) and a HIO for hole 13.

Maybe Matt might care though- he’s kind :o))

hehe sis- that stuff is getting crappier

1. never lie to a woman- if you spent all die lying around the house thinking you have no life- tell her- she’ll probably think it’s funny :o)

2. Always initiate calling a woman. If you don’t call her or show an interest, she’ll find someone who does!

All that “keep ’em keen, treat ’em mean” stuff is so…[Read more]

sis,

I dunno about that “spend your time around 5 women” thing. Generally, I think women want to be treated as special and unique. If you try and charm 5 women, chances are *none* of them will take you seriously- they’ll think you are, what the americans call a “player”. I think the author kind of lost the plot in that last section.

There’s no…[Read more]

sis, that site is great- i’ll get a few tips from it for Austria- particularly about having an opinion on things- don’t want moni to think i’m a wuss :o)

Seriously sis, you’re a great guy- very attentive and gentle and enthusiastic, a good conversationalist, and easy to be around. You should be able to get yourself a gf no worries. You just godda…[Read more]

After you left sis, we mourned and pined about you for a while, and then we got over it :o) I had a pina colada, which made me feel a bit sick the next day, but on the night, it tasted yummy :o) and then we all went out separate ways! I tried to avoid thugs :o(

But back to mini golf on the site you sent us Matt. I just got a 40 game- 8 under…[Read more]

Matt, you’re gonna get into trouble!!!

Let’s put it this way… I have a neck to knee bikini line ;o) But my girl, on the other hand, she is the femme… the rules of grooming change from butches to femmes. We are both hugely into grooming- we’re very shallow

Elysium,

Given that the agent is acting for the vendor- not for the buyer… I believe what the RE agent said was fair. I guess some buyers are hoping the RE will say “oh, they have to sell, they’re in a terrible situation”. Not that you wanted that information necessarily, but I am sutre the RE agents come across people all the time looking for…[Read more]

monikaand I prefer to call it “furry” than hairy. Hairy makes me sound like a buffalo!

kay henry

Yes Matt, and as a special treat for her, I am gonna be a woolly bear for her when i get to austria. It’s gonna be something like minus 20 – minus 30 when I get there!!

Hey Jason- welcome back!

Jason- give them some of your money- you never know- some of them might be for real and you might make a squillion! hehe.

Anyway, overseas doesn’t mean you couldn’t still be on the forum. []

Hope you hads a nice time there

richmond,

I used to post a lot more up on the top of this board when i first came because i was learning so much and very involved. Maybe some of us are now holding back a little because when the same posts come up ie “how do i find CF+” it gets a bit tiring after a while :o)

When everything’s new to you, it’s more dynamic. But then the learning…[Read more]
