DrAlexanderTobacco Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 "up and coming area" - you gonna get raped A mate of mine has a 50% mortgage on his flat. It's benefited him so far in that the house value has gone up by a fair bit, however he does have to pay rent to the housing association who own the rest. And he'll have to keep doing that even once his half is paid off. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Shared ownership is . Tried it. It's no cheaper than a mortgage once rent is thrown in. And that rent goes up a few times a year. False economy, as you can't afford to save to buy the rest of the house, which is the idea... Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Me and the other half looked at those schemes when we bought our flat but with the rent paid to the housing association ontop of the mortgage it worked out too expensive Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yeah. Staggering how the fees add up. Mortgage payment, rent, service charges e.t.c. I guess a last resort if you can't get a very large mortgage. Not too bad if you're able to buy up the remaining equity ASAP I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 maybe the aa12 will be worth it. Kinda this really. To all the 'oh I am annoyed that TM released an AR', don't forget they are the same people who gives us triple shot AEGs and guns that never break in stock form (unless you put Green in the new larger cylinder GBBs and go play in like 25c) . Plus ok batteries in mags isn't that new but has anyone else done it for an AR like this to get round the awful PEQ boxes? If they have then I haven't seen it and anything that takes away pointless attachments where possible is a plus in my book . 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Western Arms did a Jatimatic that was gas powered but electrically loaded and had batteries in the mags. That thing was weird. Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 There's some seriously odd guns when you look at classics. MGC MP5K, batteries in the cocking tube, gas in mag. Link to post Share on other sites

I do t know what I did when I tore it apart but it fired 3 bbs on 6 shot mode. Gg it would get 3-5 bbs on 6shot mode. Traded it and a perfect we pdw and 5 mags for my we mk14 mod 0 and 3 mags. I'll get an aps shotgun next year. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 What we learned tonight: It takes more than 8 helium balloons to lift a martini glass. "It's delicious, it tastes like an angels fanny" is an inappropriate description of a wedding cake. Don't let your mate point out to your other half that you've slept with 5 of the 6 girls present. Cocktails after ale followed by cider is not the one. Link to post Share on other sites

Azubi Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Selling a house is a ball ache. One comment a person made, was that the couch looked old. Well guess what, it's not in the *fruitcage* sale *albartroth* bandit. I'm not looking forward to the prospect of it! Hoping to move within the year if all things work out.

Cannonfodder80 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 If the house is rented the tenants moving out can be a pain in the *albartroth* too. The couple who were living in the flat we bought tried to sell us the dishwasher saying they would leave it behind, but when we got outside the estate agent told us it belonged to the landlord who had already said he would be taking it when the couple moved out Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Cheeky bastards. They like to take all the light bulbs, and batteries from smoke alarms too. Oh, and leave the loft full of *suitcase*. Generally a good idea not to trust the tenants at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Weirdly instead of taking all the lightbulbs they left a drawer full of them, energy saving ones too Link to post Share on other sites

Cocktails after ale followed by cider is not the one. 1. Depends on the size of said balloons? I know a pair of flesh balloons have no issue . 2. Did it taste good though? Some girls do taste good. 3. Well that is me buggered if I ever get married on that one (plus would have probably screwed the best mean too knowing me). 4. Eh, some people never learn.

Cannonfodder80 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 So I ordered the other half's anniversary present and unfortunately we weren't in when ups tried to deliver. Rather than try to redeliver at a later date I now have to go pick it up from the nearest "access point" which is several miles away (I don't drive) and is only open when I'm at work Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 The Target Shotgun course I was hoping to do down at Bisley is fully booked. Why the hell do they insist on paper applications when an online booking option would be so much easier? The NRA is truest backward in some regards. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Isn't pretty much the entire UK shooting scene pretty set in their ways? (aside from those trouble makers with the scary black rifles and shotguns with less than two barrels ha ha) Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Sadly for the most part it is. Too many stuffy old *fruitcage*ers who had it good until they sold each other out through all the bans. It's only recently the NRA has really started to accept 'practical' shooting too. The Target Shotgun course I was hoping to go on is what they call practical shotgun with all the fun that entails, but the courses are few and far between. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 A shame. I would put my name down for one of those. I bet they would get loads more people interested in the sport. Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 It's worth looking at UKPSA and Four4Islands. They are probably the two main practical shooting organisations in the UK, and you'll find courses and matches to get involved in. You are right in that a lot more people would possibly be interested in shooting sports if there was more practical stuff available. Sadly, there is a large chunk of the shooting community who see any form of practical shooting (unless it is CSR with a No. 4 Enfield...) as an activity that only psychopaths and SAS wannabes would do.

shmook Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Walking to the shops this afternoon with my little boy. He managed to step in a dog turd that some *fruitcage* *Ubar* couldn't be arsed to pick up. Clean him up as best I can, and when home and cleaning his shoes, I managed to get bleach on the canvas. Navy blue converse go a coral pink/red colour when spattered with bleach. I'm rather *fruitcage*ed off. He's a picky sod with shoes, and I ruined a pair trying to clean someone else's dog *suitcase* off them. It may sound a bit petty, but I'm bloody fuming. I lose faith in the general public more and more each day. Sorely tempted to go postal sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
