SIS – but surely if you were hanging for mention of a suburb and if they actully did name drop, that this would be somewhere whose ship has sailed?!
When I was last in Townsville visiting the IP I have there, I popped down to sunny Ayr. My only reservations (based on a visit of a single visit of a couple of ours on a very hot day) was that I could have been in Dubbo, Charters Towers or anywhere else well away from the coast. Ayr is kinda coastal but is a 20 min drive from the water. Other than that, it felt like a country town anywhere. Have done no research into its employment etc.
Kay,
Margaret Lomas is a big +CF advocate. “How to create an income for life” is a good one to read on this. +CF for her chiefly comes from Rent + Special Building Write-off + Depreciation – Interest.
Bahrain is in the Middle East – from memory a small island off to the north of Saudi Arabia. Either it or Qatar is connected to the mainland by a bridge – or am I confusing the UAE?
There must be something in the Schumacher blood. Remember Damon Hill?
I think Margaret’s stuff is well worth reading. Celivia, I’ll be interested to hear if the latest book is significantly different to the others or not…
All this time I’ve been reading this thread’s subject was Wild Wealthy Women. Now that I know it’s Wildly Wealthy Women, it is devalued in my mind. [evil4]
Oh, no.

Sorry, Wayne. You don’t listen to Ray Hadley by any chance do you?
1. Use the Optus “info” service to find out if the Waratahs won at 6am on Saturday.
2. Washed down my ceiling.
3. Pained the cornices.
4. Painted the ceiling.
5. Bandaged my thumb.
6. Watched the Saturday night Super 12 games.
7. Drank too many Bundy “Dark and Stormy”s.
8. Went on picnic to Berrima with the kids (was 14 degrees when we got there!).
9. Sat nervously by the radio as Parramatta scored a win!!!
10. Cleaned myself up after the excitement of #9.
11. Trained a little bit for the BRW triathlon in a few weeks. Must beat colleagues (esp. the women).
12. Regretted having most of the Dark and Stormys.
13. Watches Law and Order.
14. Bed.Who said I didn’t know how to party, huh?!
Pisces, with that quality if humour, you run dangerously close to have me conclude that you are also Chan$ (and all his clones)!
Thanks to MattP, the perennial posting milestone spotter!
Anubis, why not send WayneL a PM? He could do with an outlet.
No – that’s yield!
Using the same logic as in an earlier post that is what the yields work out at!
But, yes, going on the feedback of some UK colleagues I am starting to think that Monopoly prices are not a fair reflection of the UK market…[stun]
The money’s in the railways. But something smells fishy in the London property market. Could it be that these prices are not indicative of the 2004 market?

* $60 purchase price
* $0.25 per circuit = $0.125 per week
* $6.25 per yearYield = 10% per year.
Hmmm…
Kay, what happened to Mayfair?
And in any case, I’ll take Mayfair any day.
* $400 purchase price
* $200 rent with one house depending on vacancy. With 40 squares on the board, assume this will be occupied 2.5% of the time, so the rent is $5 per circuit of the board.
* As one gets paid a fixed amount from the central bank once a circuit, this is clearly a government payment, like Centrelink. As most payments are fortnightly, we’ll assume that the actual rent is $2.50 per week, or roughly $125 per year (allowing for letting time etc).Therefore, this is a yield of over 30%! PLUS, think of the capital gain of a property just across from Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace!
I’m off to the UK!
Sorry for the offence, Summo. I didn’t realise that your course was “low cost and high value”. That makes all the difference.
Before you start feeling all victimised, you will recall that you posted at least three versions of your original solicitation in the space of a few minutes on multiple forums. Forum spam.
It doesn’t belong in all, and you could have spared the low cost, high value editorial.
“Kind of silly, really”.Chan, why start apologising now after all this time?
Thanks, 7.
Your response seems more about voting Carr out than Brogden in. But the kinds of things you list are quite valid, but I don’t know what Brogden will do differently. He seems (and seemed in last year’s election) less concrete on policy than 10 Mark Lathams!
