There is a supposedly true story floating round on the net of a female

food to achieve similar ends - filmed live and shown to millions.


Oh no. Why would she like tasting dogfood?

Dr. D's acceptance of "Eyethankeye" (I thank ewe) as a watchword,
clearly indicates that all is not well in tower blocks in Milton
Keynes.

You are a dork. Milton Keynes doesn't have tower blocks. One of its
features is that most is flat and intertwined with lakes and parks. I
read
there was between 15 to 20 lakes in the place.

Ah. I thought you would know from living there.

My God he has me upwardly mobile now. He is moving me from a south London
sink estate to Milton Keynes now. Well they did pinch a south London
football team.

How is Broadmoor this morning? You
must know being the systems admin man
there.

I presumed that you would have an inside view.

No. You do. You keep telling us. Something tells me you are always inside
Broadmoor. Do they censor your posts? When is the big day? Probably
never, one of those lifers.

Not surprising as it's built on a flood plain.

Apparently not. I checked, most of the lakes are artificial.

Which is better than being a patient.

To be sure, both are one and the same.

Yup. Those roundabouts flood easily. And I suppose to an MK resident those
shopping malls are a form of park. For cars.

I feel sorry for you. Locked in and can't move.

I agree with Dr D on the CM67 but don't buy from Discounted heating in
Plymouth. I did and when it when wrong they didn't want to know. In the
end Honeywell tech support replaced it.

Luckily the chance of Drivel moving to Wimbledon from his one bedroom
council flat in MK are zero. So our houses are safe from flooding by his
antics with a hacksaw.

I have been promoted from a sink estate in Sarf Lahdan to a luxury pad in MK

Well I'm off to Lake Garda tomorrow, which I think is a little more
authentic than MK's flooded gravel pits, so I'll leave it to you to
maintain our 'combi-free zone' in my absence :-)

Nice flat!

I would lose the computer chair or get a chair mat though, as they can
be damage the carpet sometimes.

Office World used to do them for £30, can't find them online but
stores may still have one.

The Office chair and desk-table is one of the few things that survived
the previous tenants.
If this were aimed at the Japanese corporate lettings market then such
considerations might become important, however it is too far from Central
Finchley (The epicentre of expat Japanese).

Ultimately after the basic size (i.e room count) and rent level the next
most important aspect is proximity to a tube station in this case it about
1km to several stations. This puts a limit on it's value although I'm
hoping that the current relatively high standard shoudl allow for about
100-150 pcm over the going rate.

Not the sort to do office work at home I guess...

Might be worth visiting a couple of local letting agents as a
prospective tenant, to see what's available.
