    Cars

    Getting itchy feet with the whole car thing, may well have to say sod it to the finances and treat myself again (yes I know I said elsewhere that the mortgage was my priority but....). Which of these would you go for: M5 - Top end performance and handling in a subtle style: 645 Sport -...

    Midweek Funnies

    There are two Mexicans who have been lost in the desert for weeks, and they're at death's door. As they stumble on, hoping for salvation in the form of an oasis or something similar, they suddenly spy, through the heat haze, a tree, off in the distance. As they get closer, they can see that...

    Best opening lines in movie history

    My favourite here. Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a ****ing big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments...

    Help needed with an excuse.

    Right - Got home yesterday and found that myself and Mrs DtS have been invited to a wedding. The lucky couple are one of my best mates sisters and her hubby. I know the couple quite well as my mate Mike has been one of my best mates since I was sixteen and we virtually lived at his house for...
  7. Job or Househusband....?

    Difficult personal dilemma. I feel I need to support my clan by getting a job, food on table etc. ST's on the credit card already! Mortgage to pay but missus covering things at present. However I really enjoy being around them and doing those chores about the house that all fathers know...
  8. Interest Rates

    With the city analysts not even being able to agree which way the BoE base rate will go in the next couple of months, which way would you like to sew them go (if they dont stay as they are?) Up, to negate inflation or down, to help on the mortgage repayments and to not be so skint?
  9. Dumping a mortgage

    All, just a bit of advice needed (and I think I know the answer). If you don't know, last year I split with my long term missus of ten years and the house we bought together went on the market. Had plenty viewings, but not a single offer. Fortunately we were quite amicable and we could sit in...

    The Widow Jobson

    Don't know if anyone remembers Vic's Mrs & daughter 'helping' out in the club shop in the late 80's & early 90's? (Think I got £48 change once after I tendered a fiver to buy a scarf!) Was in Shoebury Asda last Sunday & happened to see what looked like a thoroughly cheesed off looking Mrs J...

    My Future.

    Sorry to be deep and heavy but I'd like some thoughts. I'm 52 and looking to retire at 55. I have my own home, no mortgage, rent or kids to pay for. I'm hoping to live with Angie when I retire, maybe to somewhere in France. How much do you think I should aim to keep as "savings" in an ISA and...

    Job Agencies

    This is a quick plea for advice from you all! I, along with very possibly the rest of my company, along with majority our client company, am seemingly about to be made redundant in just over one week I've found out. That could be some 150 people. This is all down to the "credit crunch" as our...

    SZ Careers Advice Centre.

    Right, Last few months has been a really hard time to be a mortgage broker. The whole market has been flipped upside down and people that we could mortgage six months ago we cant even think about now. I cant knock the job really as its good income and basically I spend my whole day talking...

    Southend related betting

    If this was any game that wasn't involving us, i'd probably be putting most of my bank on this. Over 2.5 at evens We can't defend but don't seem to have a probem scoring and it looks as though our striker who scored two in two may well be starting. We've averaged 2.57 goals per game at home...

    How too take this joke forward?

    Rightio, Basically on Monday Ben at work got a really weird email from a customer on Friday last week. This email was from someone called Mr Slater - The bloke basically said that who the hell was Ben to ask him about his personal details - All he wanted was a mortgage quote? He asked Ben is he...
  18. Mortgage payment protection in the event of redundancy

    Has anybody actually been made redundant and claimed on a policy? Basically we've got our annual redundancy "game" being played out again at work. This year I've just got a gut feeling it's my year and we find out at the end of this month. I can see the signs - my annual season ticket ends on...

    Would you support this policy?

    Times are slow in the world of mortgage broking at the moment. We did however have a call today from a potential customer who called up on the off chance. This customer basically told Anna in the office that she was claiming full unemployment benefit as she was unable to find work. As she had...

    If you had to pick a SUFC player to join you in your workplace....

    Who would you go for and why. I think for some reason that Clarkey would be ideally suited to the cut and thrust world of mortgage broking. I imagine that he would be good banter in the office, a genuine hard worker and would be able to build a good rapport with new clients. My only downside...
