Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

That's a bummer. I can see how you thought it was coming and I appreciate that you have probably been underpaying but I bet your rent isn't cheap. 25% is a lot of money - especially when prices/utilities are going up so much. Penryn sounds lovely but you would also be moving away from your friends which might make it a bit lonely for you at first. Would he be open to negotiation. Saves him the hassle of finding new tenants, he knows you, you're a good tenant.

Hope you have a good lunch. I've never had bouillabaisse, would like to try it though - definitely my kind of thing. On a completely cheaper scale I've just Iceland's Habanero Chicken wings. They were pretty good - nice kick to them. You would probably like them.

I may not be right but the roots of all plants can be much finer than the eye can see ( we see the thicker ones ) and they are the ones doing a lot of work so although the temperature change will certainly affect them the lack of the same intake of water makes the leaves wilt ,it is a defence mechanism that all plants have .You should though acclimatise them but with bigger ones it is much harder . You might find the leaves will go blue and that is bad ,when it has happened to me they have never quite recovered and it is better to fling them .

He can be a bit of a weird chap my neighbour. His idea of negotiation is he comes up with a figure in his head and then you agree on it. He hates selling anything for less than what he's paid out on something. For instance he's decided to sell his boat after this summer. He'll be asking what he paid and subsequently spent on it (which is substantial) and if it doesn't sell then he'll just keep it and use it again next summer.

In fairness what he's asking for is reasonable, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he had already been talked down a bit by his wife, who's decision making us more driven by emotions than business, if that makes sense. She may also have talked him out of selling and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the property go on the market as soon as I vacate it.

I will just go with the flow. I can afford it in the short term plus he needs to give me 2 months notice and we haven't started proper "negotiations" yet. He's just given me the heads up and I'll negotiate with his son and daughter what he's already decided. So it possibly won't kick in until Sept/Oct.

One day you were going to decide what to do Fred and this is just one step in that direction .
It might consolidate the thoughts you must have been having and in fact help you find the answer .My thoughts are that you are managing fine but the lack of transport has been mentioned before so it must be a salient point ,to live back up north will bring other problems if you miss you country walks but only you can decide .Saying that it might be worth a try in one of the flats before you finally make a choice .
Me ,I could never live in a city again I don't think .Something to be said for distant horizons .

???

Are you sure you replied to the correct post there Blue?
 
I've been meaning to ask all you cat people. I've always been a dog person myself but over the last month or so I've been sort of bonding with next doors cat, yes the one that used to utilise my garden as a toilet. Well it keeps offering its bottom to me and I'm a bit confused. I mean, if it were a female cat I could completely understand the gesture. But to the best of my knowledge it is a Tom. So what I'd like to know is whether this behaviour is completely normal, or maybe it's his way of telling me that he hasn't just had a poo in my garden, or perhaps my neighbours cat is gay.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hope you kicked him in the balls and told him he's crap.

Oh sorry. Wrong thread.

Yeah the abuse he gets in his own thread is unreal. It’s the ‘coward’ shouts that really grind me.

As always when our paths cross, he asked my lads how football was going, encouraged them to keep working hard and gave them an ‘Up the Toffees’ parting fist bump ?
