Get out the avocado & toast - your boy's just bought a fucking house.

Years of saving for a deposit, moved 200 miles from my London family & home, saved more, got a loan from my wife's grandparents, saved more, waited 8 months through interminable bullshit that fucked the wife's mental health like nobody's business and boom! We own a terraced house in a small town twenty minutes away from Birmingham. Unimaginable dream for my class and generation, only made possible by huge sacrifice and great good luck of knowing people willing to lend us the eye-watering sum required to reach a deposit. Still, fuck the concept of landlordism, we're the masters of our domain. I viewed one (1) house in February and wasn't going to fall into any traps of constant seeking perfection - I liked it and we made the offer then, Time to buy some leopard print purple wall paper and decorate like a haunted sleazy Vegas bachelor pad meets an Irish cottage with a library. We get the keys on my 32nd birthday in four days.
Fuckin congrats man!

Congratulations, looking forward to seeing some pics of the "leopard print purple wall paper"!

There were some people interviewed on TV who responded along the same lines. You know, "I'm quite happy as a teacher at a German school", "I think I'll stick with my job at university" etc. It was simply hilarious.

Ah, such delectable schadenfreude. We don't even have a word for that in English, so we have to borrow it from the Germans too ;)

Honestly the English offer some Germans gainful employment and we're the bad guys. :rolleyes: :mrgreen:

To be honest the thought of members of Kraftwerk driving HGV's up the M4 did seem cool.
