Tomorrow's a sad day.

Opened Bottles of Wine only go off so your best drinking it all

I find the ones i buy actually get better if opened the day before!!

The best drink of the evening is just before the first one.

At lot of this stuff sounds great - being off the grid and what not.

However no bank account!

Leaving your car unlocked just makes it easy for the scumbags.

You’re not missing much on TV to be fair but how do you know the addresses of your own properties?

Just think how handy it will be when you get contactless and Apple pay and all the other great things technology brings.

No bank account....my wife has one.
My "car" is a 15 year old rusty-trusty Ford Ranger. I've not washed it or cleaned it inside for seven years.
I only use it once or twice a week.
It's not desirable for a thief, if I locked it then may be an opportunist scum bag may try his luck seeing what's inside, it's better if he can just open the door rather than smash a window.....but he'd have to be pretty desperate, he may get lucky and find half a pack of polos in the glove box.
I find the most convenient way of shopping is still pulling some cash out of my wallet.
I bought three houses in Bulgaria 10 years ago for the combined sum of £12,000.
I've renovated one and we use it as a holiday home, the other two I've only visited once. The one we use as a holiday home, I could take you straight to it, but I don't actually know the address. The other two....I've got the paperwork (somewhere) and I'm sure I could find the address's, but who cares?

Ah ok

I actually like that logic of the car.

I wish I had have been on the ball enough to pick up a Holiday home in Bulgaria back then!

But today is that day. So enjoy your bank account

[bowber]

You'll be lucky to get one Steve, I bet you get a right grilling about why you don't have one already!

Once you've got an account try paying in a large amount of cash (5k) ........ then they will make you feel like a right criminal ....... they don't understand the fact that people still actually buy and sell things using cash

So I'll buy one off you for £4K Steve?!

Today I put the glitter ball up with mtb light shining on it for the wife's strictly party with her mates. I am obviously hiding in the office just surfacing for food and drink. A house in Bulgaria appeals right now

[roberteagle6]

Right about the locked car. I used our dog mobile a couple of years back and my wife had left her bum bag - on the floor, which I failed to notice. When I got back, the window wash smashed and the bag gone.

Bloody pissed that I hadn't noticed it, told the wife when I got home and she split her sides laughing. She used it solely for walking the dogs and had forgotten to bring it in from the last walk - it was full of dog s**t .

[SteveW]

Well actually, I'd sell them both for 4K each, they both need a full renovation.
But what do you want for the price of a five year old Honda Transalp?
