A whole new reason to hate Rehnquist!
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yeah, I also hear from his clerks that he snacks on babies and pushes old ladies into buses for fun.

Is "gazumping" an actual legal term?
Yes
A survey is something paid for buy the buyer which ensures that the house is sound, stable, won't need any major works soon, etc. Mostly important in houses like mine which are 150+ years old. The Boundaries and deeds stuff is called a "search" and is done by your lawyer.
And yes, house Prices are still rising in most of London and the SE - but the rate of rise has dropped from about 25-40% a year to about 10-20%.

Is this the very same Manor House that Jim was talking about last year?
If so, it's on PBS this week!

Yes! Edgar, the head butler, is a wonderful character. It's Must See TV.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'd noticed that in the TV listings, but forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder. I'll definitely be watching. (Um, in between the studying. But I can kind of claim it as educational.)

Yes, in the UK and Australia it was called the Edwardian Country House. It's absolutely brilliant. I expect several Buffistas to be writing Edwardian Country House slash in a very short while.
