again.
Tuesday I've got a meeting in Brighton. Self employment sucks sometimes,
close on 600 mile round trip just to argue about a maintenance contract on a
bloody roller shutter.

Last time was a freak result and only came about due to Stevie-boy's
diving, cheating antics.
Thanks for the 6 points this season, though - you effectively handed us
the title with your inept performances in the most important competition
of the season.

of ukrcm, when the world was square, the drugs were free, when the likes
Glenn and Tanuki the Racoon-Dog meandered gracefully across the high
veldt and Hugo Taylor-Jones was king.

You called the whole of Liverpool "Pikey", I pointed out that where I live
isn't pikey, and you called it a wall pissing contest.
As for being "considerably richer than you", I merely pointed out that my
house is paid for and I didn't have to move to South Wales to be able to
afford it.. If you took that as meaning that I have more money than you then
that ain't my problem. I don't have mortgage payments to pay any more, so I
don't do too badly but I still have to work for a living. I'm just lucky
that I work for myself and don't have to worry too much about making ends
meet.
How that has backfired on me, I don't know.

From where I'm sitting, you're the one getting wound up - to the point of making an Enfield-esque 'considerably richer than yow' post, which appears to have slapped you in the face. Where? You called the whole of Liverpool "Pikey", I pointed out that where I live isn't pikey, and you called it a wall pissing contest.

worth pointing out that your house was paid for (I suspect you didn't
realise mine was, so were trying to score points with that one) - as for
'didn't have to move to South Wales' - I'll admit, moving here was
influenced by financial gain, due to cheaper house prices, but ours is
now worth more than the place in MK was when we moved. South Wales had
the fastest growing market in the UK at the time we moved.
Anyway, the point being, I don't know who you were trying to impress -
especially as it appears we both own similarly priced houses outright.
I still say that Liverpool is a pikey shitehole, though, but that's 'cos
I'm a Manc ;-)
