    Notes From A Thoughtful Husband

    I'm not married but what about when women mention they want to do something, then later when you bring it up make it sound like you are forcing them to do it. Whats all that about?

    Is Intelligent Design Scientific Theory?

    I think fear gives these crackpot campaigns momentum. Actually I would be quite comfortable is someone gives an alternative theory so long as there was some supporting evidence. I don't think this campaign is about anything else other than the egos of the people involved. I think the deck of...

    Is Intelligent Design Scientific Theory?

    To be a theory you have to try and explain how it could be so. ID says how is unexplainable. How can you test something that is unexplainable? See there is nothing wrong with criticising Darwinian Theory even its supporters acknowledge that 'survival of the fittest' is more complex than once...

    Property

    The bulk of the market is DINKY (Dual Income No Kids) and YUPPY (Young Urban Professional). Students are a big sector but usually work on short term contract (12 months or less) or informal room lets. If you are going to start a family you want bricks and mortar, even if it is a small house to...

    Property

    Hi jsanders, It the UK for long term rental you should usually avoid families. Not because of breakages, but because if they are not in a financial position to get a mortgage they may be juggling their finances which is always risky for you. Even if they say they are renting their own property...

    Property

    Yes it is important to choose your tenants well. Ask for references. Banks provide a service where in cooperation with an account holder (tenant) is good for x amount. There is sometimes an administration cost but at £10 or so it is worth paying. It is true you are not allowed to cut of...

    Property

    As a joint landlord I've never allowed my tenants to owe. I would be impossible for them to owe more than the deposit the way we set up the contract and they pay by direct debit anyway. Where people get screwed is in informal room lets without proper contracts. Most of these people aren't...

    Overdue news to share...

    It's more like: "Honey can we get a puppy?" "Erm...I don't know it is a big commitment." "I really want a baby!" "What's the number for the kennel again?"

    Property

    I would buy to rent. This would offset some of the risk involved in buying property. The property bubble may bust but at least you will have an income which you can set aside for a grey period. If you really want to play the property game you have to move faster. Get a large mortgage, buy, add...

    What's your best/worst joke?

    Wireless Router strong signal but intermittent.

    Spoke too soon. I put it on channel 6 and it is working for now. There are around 4 wireless users I have detected in this neighbourhood I have filtered most of the mac addresses. Normally some interference wouldn’t cause a digital device to cut out it would just move on to the next instruction...

    Wireless Router strong signal but intermittent.

    Good advice. I have 13 choices. It is now on 13 and it has been going ok touch wood. I think it might have been the cordless phone like you say because when it is on it is nearly always 100%

    Are we all escapists?

    I wish GP's were really like that. A lot of GB think they know it all, more in fact than the specialists. Just my experience anyway.

This is where the business bids on key words and the ads are displayed in context with those keywords. Most of contextual based advertisement is on search engines though goggle enables you to have...

    Is anybody immature enough to watch Neighbours (me :o )? Seems this happens all the time in Australia.

    Are we all escapists?

    I like to play act in front of a mirror and pretend I've won Wimbledon, or collected a Nobel Prize, etc. In fact I can spend hours in front of the mirror. :o :mad: I'm NOT VAIN!
