    Probably closer to the latter, which means there'll only be 200,000 of us
    per swimming pool.

    Or, more likely, there'll be 999,990 of us using the "systems in the house
    [which] are computer controlled and can be accessed from anywhere in the
    world" to watch 10 or so of the women from here in the swimming pools.

    <Thinks>

    Right, here's my 70 quid.

    That, plus yours ... all we need now is for Cane to swan in with the other
    69,999,860 and we've got ourselves a house-share.

    ....minus the racers who'll be warming their tyres on the heated marble
    driveway.
    Haha - that'd be right - all those facilities, all that opulent splendour
    and most of us would still rather be hunched up in front of a cathode ray
    tube in the control-room watching the magic sprites dance about the screen.
    Slight problem. I only have £69.13

    This place look more of a bargain - apart from it being a longish
    commute to wherever:

    http://www.property.org.uk/unique/castles.html

    Zinkovy Castle, Bohemia
    Description: The Palace is situated beside a 62 hectare lake making
    this one of, if not the most beautiful Palace in the World and the 2nd
    largest in West Bohemia. The Palace boasts 60 bedrooms with numerous
    libraries, function rooms and servant quarters. It also has its own
    chapel.

    Price: $9,300,000 USD

    C'mon now - if you were a billionaire wouldn't you just pay somebody to read
    this drivel for you?

    As it happens I was mulling over the possibility of taking out a mortgage
    for this place as I was making breakfast this morning.

    I reckon that if I push for a really good interest rate deal then the
    monthly interest would only be about twice my entire current mortgage.

    Then I remembered I don't have a 10% deposit either.

    It's the running costs for the 1 mile heated marble drive that puts me
    off

  9. Yeah, near Lydd airport. Flat, desolate and grey.

    ....but handy for cross-channel trips I s'pose.

    Must be a plan - Blaney and Cane could take an entire wing, leaving
    maybe 60 rooms. Split those into 3 room apartments and 20 UKRMers
    cough for those at a paltry 165K.

    And Des could live under the private bridge.

    Better count me out; I'm looking at places in Colorado - 5 bedrooms
    and 3 car garage for 150 sterling. Suits me, sir.
    heh

    Ooo anywhere near Mesa Verde? On my list of places to go before I
    shuffle off this mortal coil.

    While you're here, teaching EFL in China, what was it like?

    The range there is fucking huge. I've spent hours trapsing over it.

    One of my customers is in Lydd, a small mini-moto dealer.
