@Daniel said in What about this 'house'?: I have an appointment. I'll watch it later. Why these bargains in the UK and France? What's up with that? Attractive building, but maintenance, investment in upgrading heating etc. will be a deterrent to purchase however lovely the property. Probably loads of rules to comply with for such an historic monument. If we ever move again the next home will need nothing doing to it beyond buying a new mattress.

Never got on this train. Never going to have to get off. Marginally better than most but billionaires and status quo forces aligned against change point to gridlock. My 2 cents. At least he understands many of his voters were in fact Jewish and he presumably understands the difference between Judaism and Zionism.

Spectacular! The designs are different than others I’ve seen, not that I’ve seen many. Lighter, softer, more delicate, subdued colors. My guess is the styles run in cycles and it’s been a while since I’ve been to a flower show of any kind. Nice castle, too!

That is the strangest fascinator (?) I've seen and the ugliest.

Needless and disgusting.

I remember that. Seems so ancient watching the clip.

Charlie Brown is involved I am sure.

Her DVDs are mostly out of stock and some are trying to sell sets that were 20 quid for 200!

@Steve-Miller Thanks!
