So do you not buy a house when you use a mortgage then?
.

No.

I might move house. I could even sell one in the same sense a salesman sells a car (he never owned the car). But I couldn't buy one with a mortgage. I'd be buying debt, and living in a house. But I wouldn't be buying a house.

Conveniently excluded the definition of 'buy' then?

Aww did you get confused by the thread title and think this was the "reasonable complaints thread"?

When you next move to a new house, will you be proudly telling all your friends "Come and look at how much debt I've just taken on!"

I'm beyond annoyed with people who choose to get annoyed by extremely common vernacular that is fully understood by everyone, but wants to make a point

I was told not to say anything as we're about to leave and not to make a scene. Killjoys!

I honestly do not understand how people don't realise the impact they have one others.

I bet he's on PH actually.

+1 Already ranted about this very subject on another thread!! When exactly did it become socially acceptable to inflict your children upon everyone else with no consequences?? The mind well and truly boggles!!

Quite.

Personally, I'm annoyed beyond reason that the sun rises in the West, and that there isn't a website called Pistonheads.com

It also annoys me that cars haven't been invented. And that there is no letter 'R' in the English alphabet.

Tacos.

I fking hate tacos.

Who in their right mind puts mince in a fking tortilla?

I avoided Mince pies for years as I thought they actually had meat in them.

Wikipedia:

"Mince pie
A mince pie is a sweet pie of British origin, filled with a mixture of dried fruits and spices called "mincemeat", that is traditionally served during the Christmas season in the English-speaking world. "

Surely it isn't really called 'mincemeat' is it?

There is a huge difference between 'buying' a car on a PCP and obtaining a decades long mortgage on a house. All over the news at the moment about irresponsible lending by auto manufacturers possibly creating another crash. Munter's original point is a valid one so untwist your knickers. Or is that what you mean with the above?

Tex-Mex lovers.

But then - when you say "Tacos" do you mean the soft flour tortilla wraps with mince and cheese etc in them, or, do you mean the hard, crispy shells that Old El Paso sell you to load up with mince, which promptly falls out of the sides as soon you put it in your mouth?

The filling originally contained lamb, which has been phased out although the name "mincemeat" has stuck.

Both types.

Those stupid hard ones are worse though.

But yet, I really like them. I have a good relationship with bad food.

I agree, they are messy, but to me, there's nothing wrong with the combination of flavours and textures when done properly.

They're aware. They just want someone to say something so that they can cause a scene, play the victim, shout some more etc.

Councillists tend to live in a state of permanent stress. fk knows why, it's not like they've got to get up in the morning - the kids will get up and are neglected enough to know where the cereal is, where the bread and fake cheese spread is. They've usually made themselves breakfast by the time the fat stinking fking fat benefit troll crawls out of bed, and it's high-sugar st, so the mum is immediately shouting at them for being noisy, and Facebooking about how they've got "undiagnosed ADHD" and its all the governments fault that they aren't getting extra money or a bigger house etc, yet "them immygrunts is gettin' all new house and it's well unfare".

They don't seem to realise that I am paying for their trainers etc so that they can lay in bed til whenever, neglecting their kids and generally taking from society.

s indeed.

These aren't councillists. Think more Towie.

Still s though.

Oh god yes...

waits in line
Gets to front of line
Searches through handbag to find purse
Searches through purse to find card
Can't find card - searches through bag to find card
Eventually finds card in coat pocket
Puts card in
Waits 5 minutes
Puts in PIN
"view balance"
"Would you like another transaction?"
"No"
"Bugger"
Card comes out.
Card goes back in
6 more years pass
Puts in PIN
Tries to decide how much cash to withdraw
"There is insufficient balance in your account"
"Whoops, won't be a moment"
Card goes back in coat pocket
Searches through purse for alternative card
Not there
Finds card in handbag eventually
Card in machine.
All human life becomes extinct
Sun runs low on fuel, begins to implode
Enormous fireball starts exploding through the solar system
Mercury is first to go
Then Venus, swallowed up and destroyed by the heat death of the Sun, now a dwarf star
Puts in PIN
Decides on amount
Removes card
Puts card back in purse
puts purse back in handbag
Takes cash
Gets purse back out of handbag
Unzips the correct part of the purse to put cash in
Puts purse back in handbag
Checks mobile
The moon is swallowed by exploding sun
Finally, steps away from machine

"Don't you want your receipt?"
"No thanks"

Nicely done.

Mr. Tacos, the inventor of said tasty snack.
