Do you actually OWN a home? Yes he does. Do you have the money to replace it? Very unlikely to need replacing. Much more likely to just need repairing at most. If it burns down, Mine can't, its almost entirely concrete, glass, steel, quarry tiles etc. will you ever be able to own one again? Yep, I could just pay for the replacement or literally buy another. |

Also gambling, where the only way to win is to lose. Agreed, which is why I do neither (including the lottery). -- "Naff" is actually an old gay slang for useless, from its original meaning of 'heterosexual' i.e. Not Available For ****ing. |
