I was on the train this morning, two and a half mile journey with heat on at intervals. L-O-N-G intervals and it was flipping cold. No tea, no coffee, zilch and none at the exit station either. CIE sure know how to run a business and spot opportunities. The heads in some boardrooms badly need...

I take it the UK bond is dead in the water then so?

The plumber who did the original house does everything for us. No rads needed refitting, all's fine.

30 mins? What in the name of the Lord God do you talk about for 30 minutes? Most people I know today, and I know quite a few, wouldn't be capable of holding a conversation for 5 mins, never mind 30, then not able to look you in the eye. Now, that's what I'd be after. I like someone that can look...

Why are you selling?

Not just the radiators, the full heating system. You might be amazed at all the "gunk" you will see that comes out and YES it stops the whole heating system from flowing around properly. Sometimes it might be better to have some family member or good friend tell you what might be a problem in...

Thanks. No, not trying to do anything about it at all. Just mentioning it as it shows solicitors can and will do things, ensuring the family get everything rather than some outsider getting anything. In this case that's what happened. Family were all in on it and the only loser was the person...

Paint it every 5 years inside and outside. Boiler service every year, with a flush @ 5yearly intervals. If parts etc are needed for plumbing or bathroom fittings, etc, they're bought and the work done to remedy that. Changed carpets after 10 years and sanded floors after 10 years too. This was...

But the will leaving an inheritance to Jack was never produced so by agreement Mum got everything. Ergo, she made a will dividing everything equally among her children. When Mum passed away the whole place was divided equally and no problems arose. The solicitor was a very good family friend.

Thank you. I know of the 2 wills I mentioned where the third party didn't get anything, was never told about it. The fathers will never surfaced and mother divided everything equally among the children by agreement. It did happen. I'd well imagine thousands of similar and other types of stuff...

Ok, I take it City Link or similar are your "taxi".

How was one man, Sean Quinn, able to legally transfer all that money to buy the CFD's. Were others needed to sign off, can one man, owner or whatever, actually do this without anyone knowing it. Watched it and must say I feel very sorry for Sean Quinn and I know others will have a different...

Why take the gamble?

But if your dad had made a will leaving half to your mum and half to someone outside the family but no probate taken out, then your mum made a will as if she had everything anyway and she left everything equally to everyone in the family, would her will carry or would the fathers will be...

Not being personal about your particular case ClubMan. What would happen in a case like that when a father would have made a will and then died with the mother never taking out probate. She then makes a will and dies later on. The 2 wills left a sizeable estate to different people. Who gets what?

Somehow I'm finding it hard to believe what you've just written, then you tell us you're a landlord with no issues. Holy Moses but ain't you a lucky one and I don't care what vetting you're doing.

I hope your partner is taking separate proceedings.

It's a rent A room in one's PPR

In the same way as anything else. Hopefully it's fully insured and doesn't go on fire or get blown up in a storm. So I suppose you could say, not fully risk free.

Better than anything you've come up with. I do notice that some people are getting a tad snobbish about where the simple people might want to deposit their money. So what if it doesn't match inflation, not much in the world, if anything, that's doing that now. No trouble with plenty of...
