Hi Pinky

I must have missed something(quite often do anyway) BUT what did you do that upset everyone?

I think I read one posting where you were grizzling about something but so what if you were.

Anyway I for one am missing the repartee between those of us that make postings to your comments and muses.

COME BACK and tell that Arty character to…[Read more]

Hi AD

Bridgette did say in her first posting that she wanted high rental demand AND capital gain.
Therefore I am saying that these places starting with T and W will have no or little capital gain.
If it is paid off in ten years, yes, you have made $35k but what a slow way of making it. Whereas in a place of capital gain you can make that amount…[Read more]

Hi Guys

A report in this morning’s NZ Herald about a study that reveals causes of Auckland housing boom makes a statement that says and I quote:
“The widespread belief that proprty values only go one way -up- is not borne out nationwide. Although real house prices have more than doubled in the Auckland region since 1981(up 11% over and above CPI…[Read more]

Hi Craig

Thank you very much for the information.

I think I can see my wannabes being asked to buy a $2500 ticket to a weekend seminar.

Hi Bill

Great stuff. You’ve certainly had a very eventful life.

I enjoy reading the thoughtful replies to newbies questions that you frequently post.
They sometimes help to motivate me when I need a reminding about something that I may have forgotten or not thought of.

For my part I appreciate you giving of your vast experience in the art of…[Read more]

Hi Lister

What is the question again please so that the learned readers on the forum may give it a learned answer.

Hi Rod

Sometimes.
I was just checking to see how seriously people read these postings.
Also checking to see how well Australians can read.

Came across this from my accountant:
A good friend will come and bail you out of jail..
but
a true friend will be sitting next to you saying…….”Damn- we stuffed that up!”

Hi In Theory

What’s this 90 music and mentioning Fleetwood Mac.
Mick Fleetwood was around in the 60s. As I said earlier yah can’t beat the 60s and early 70s music.

Hi Guys

Yeah I have GOT a couple of tats.
They are on my forehead.
I got them while I was mowing the lawn and walked into the corner of an aluminum window which the bl…..g wife had opened.

Thinking……perhaps they could be scars…battle scars.

Hi Guys

I get to work at about 7:30am and saty until about 5pm. Also have at least one night meeting every month.

Also get 6 months holiday twice a year.

Hi Guys

11pm to 6am with a few minutes during the TV news at about 6:10.

Also needing fewer hours sleep. Must also therefore be getting older.

Good Night

Hi Arty and Arty and Arty and Arty

Thought I would get a few Arties in first.

Nearly all my kids have nicknames. The eldest son (Robert) has Buzz for one reason or another.
Daughter No2 (Hera) is called Sos (short for sausage).
Son No2 (Benjamin) is called George, not by me but the rest of the family.
Daughter No3 (Mei) is called Mup or Muppet.…[Read more]

Hi Guys

Keep the postings coming in.

I’ve just had a look at my library and can add The Rolling Stones, The Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Royal Guardsmen(of Snoopy fame), The Hollies and The Small Faces.
My favourite drumming solo is part of In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly. Would love to get more of Sandy Nelson.

I am very sexist and don’t have…[Read more]

Hi Arty

Soooooo is that why the postings have dropped off.

I’ve still got $100 on you to be the first with 1000 postings. I want to seeeeee what sort of badge of honour you get. You know it might inspire some of us to contribute more.

Changing the subject…
How do I open a winmail.dat attachment that I got with an email pretty pleeeeease?

Hi Melbear

Poor old Oskar got the snip before he could sire any pups. I have regretted that decision ever since because he turned out to be such a nice dog that I would have liked to have had one of his pups. Still never mind.

Now the poor old guy is about 13 and very nearly deaf. No wonder because when he put a possum or a cat up a tree he…[Read more]

Hi Steve

Well done.
The General Forum was becoming too cluttered with distracting postings or rather postings that nothing to do with PROPERTY INVESTING.

What about having another forum with home handyman or home maintenace tips?

Hi Melbear

Have you never heard of the knife or scissors or a bubber band. One of those measures should fix that rotten little Zac from doing the dastardly deed again.

The only problem with Jack Russells is that they are too short in the leg. No good for chasing possums.
What you need is a good long legged fox terrier. Now my Oskar absolutely…[Read more]

Hi Taylah

I know of one forumite who travelled 1800km by plane, hired a car and travelled another 1000km, inspected many properties, talked to many RE agents and property managers put in many offers and then travelled home a week later being the satisfied owner of about 8 properties.

This forumite also has I think bought a few properties sight…[Read more]

Hi Lister
