    Bummed Out !

    Money makes the world go round eh !! well its a pain as i've got none to spend on the VX what with my VX being robbed last week and getting a new alarm fitted its cost me around £800 thats the money set aside for the on board air, boot build and safari roof rack gutted!!

    Also, living in this city is sucking my wallet dry !! Claire and I are living in a decrepid (but large) shared flat and we really want to get out of it, theres some dodgy people about even though its the most afluent area in London. Found a bloke in the garden (whilst me and my neighbor were fitting security lights around the property so our vehicles are safe) picking up some hash someone left for him.......i almost lamped the guy and he actually had the nerve to get anoyed at me for accusing him of breaking into my car!!! Plus the fact the flat was almost robbed a month ago when someone tried to break through my flat mates window at 11pm with the lights on and him in the room !!!!

    All in all we really want to move and im trying to buy our first property but i can't find a 1 bedroom flat (were talking 42 sqm) for under £160,000.00 (262,503.70 USD !!! ) it's just rediculouse. The only ones i found are part-buy (you get say 50% and pay rent to a landlord on the amount you don't own) and it was well over £1000 a month for mortgage + rent etc etc and an extra £950 a year to use a space in the car park !!!!! Anywhere that is affordable either doesnt have parking, transport links or you'd have to were a stab vest to walk around (we dont have guns here )

    Thats my moan done with for today

    I feel your pain neighbor! I love my house and my property but HATE my neighborhood. Yet if I sell I will lose money... if I stay I will prob'ly be robbed again... the 3rd robbery will most likely happen INSIDE my actual home and I will turn into something nasty. I don't have a lot of options right now so I'm just trying to deal with it all... Here's to hope!

    too bad brother... guess your going to have to put your VX inhibitions on hold for now.

    we all have to do it from time to time even if we dont wanna.

    We had an Engineer exchange program with UK a couple of years ago. The first guy they sent over here kept extending his visit till they made him go home

    He was a great guy tho - wish he could've stayed.

    If you move over here and can't bring the VX with, don't forget to rob yours of the t-case!

    I can't believe he'd offer the dog, wife maybe (as domestic help), but not the dog.

    I don't know if Florida has any kind of Engineer exchange program. With the recession there's not as many trains running now.
