08:18.56 | Armand | that sucks. |
08:19.47 | Leeds | doesn't happen at home - except when the gf is uploading photos to facebook, but we're using an external upload tool now - but happens most days at work |
08:20.26 | Armand | strange |

08:25.01 | Leeds | and when I started trying to book a three-day weekend, to fit in with my gf's work, he told me to take longer and have her come meet me - when your boss tells you to take a longer long weekend on him, it's a good idea to accept :) |

09:00.59 | morsing | Anyone here know about buy-to-let mortgages? |
09:01.17 | cpufreak | in which context? |
09:01.54 | morsing | cpufreak: Buying to let |
09:02.05 | morsing | No, actually, letting out my existing house |
09:02.09 | cpufreak | ah. |
09:02.12 | cpufreak | if you already own it |
09:02.13 | cpufreak | its different |
09:02.15 | morsing | Ok |
09:02.22 | morsing | That's what I thought |
09:02.33 | morsing | So I don't need to convert? |
09:02.37 | cpufreak | buy-to-let mortages is when some cunt buys a place with the explicit purpose of renting it out |
09:02.45 | morsing | Ok |
09:02.59 | morsing | Does it matter how long I want to rent it out for? |
09:03.11 | cpufreak | if you want to rent out a place which you bought previously, just phone up the mortgage provider and ifnorm them of the change of use, they'll send out some forms, and put the price up by 10% or so, and then its all kosher |
09:03.15 | cpufreak | at least thats how it was for me. |
09:03.23 | morsing | Ok |
09:03.28 | cpufreak | no need to change the actual mortgage, just an addendum |
09:03.32 | morsing | Ok |
09:03.36 | morsing | Wankers :) |
09:03.52 | morsing | %10... |
09:04.03 | morsing | That's an extra £8/mth |
09:04.21 | cpufreak | your mortage is 80quid/month? |
09:04.29 | morsing | 86 |
09:04.33 | Leeds | I never got around to telling my bank... |
09:04.53 | antiphase | Your insurance provider might like to know as well |
09:04.54 | cpufreak | 86/month? why not just pay it off then |
09:04.57 | morsing | Leeds: Read the message you get when you log in to #gllug carefully ;) |
09:05.05 | antiphase | in case some bugger burns it down and they refuse to pay up |
09:05.06 | morsing | cpufreak: ?! Pay what off? |
09:05.14 | cpufreak | the mortgage |
09:05.16 | Leeds | antiphase: I've got landlord's insurance |
09:05.16 | cpufreak | if its only 86/month |
09:05.24 | morsing | cpufreak: I don't have £151000 |
09:05.35 | antiphase | It is a 100 year mortgage? |
09:05.37 | Leeds | interest-only? |
09:05.42 | bilarh | seriously, you should tell them |
09:05.45 | morsing | -> cawfy run |
09:05.53 | bilarh | not telling them is probably insurance fraud |
09:06.11 | cpufreak | oh, if its interest only maybe. |
09:06.15 | Leeds | yeah, I probably should |
09:06.30 | cpufreak | isn't that just a sure fire way to negative equity though? |
09:06.47 | cpufreak | mortgage is 850/month or so |
09:07.06 | antiphase | It's a surefire way to end up not owning a house after 25 years if you don't have other investments |
09:07.10 | Leeds | aren't interest-only mortgages normally combined with something else to pay-off the principle at some point in the future? |
09:07.13 | bilarh | interest only is for mugs IMO... I bet most people who have an IO mortgage don't save anything up to pay of the principal |
09:07.18 | Leeds | my mortgage is down to 475 or so now |
09:07.43 | cpufreak | my goal is to pay mine off by the time I'm 30 |
09:07.47 | cpufreak | assuming I'm in the same place |
09:07.51 | cpufreak | need to save :( |
09:07.57 | Leeds | I missed that by 3 years already :( |
09:08.04 | bilarh | you must be almost 30 arleady surely :) |
09:08.26 | Leeds | almost in a negative way? |
09:08.39 | bilarh | no i meant he can't have that much time left |
09:08.51 | Leeds | oh, him not me... |
09:08.56 | cpufreak | bilarh: 2.5 years to go. |
09:08.56 | bilarh | yes :) |
09:09.17 | bilarh | i've got 3 months to go |
09:09.18 | cpufreak | that said, I'm looking forward to owning this http://www.corvette.co.uk/pages.php?section=cars&itemID=160&source=home |
09:09.27 | cpufreak | which may leed to some delay |
09:09.38 | bilarh | very nice indeed |
09:10.13 | bilarh | not knowing anything about american cars at all, but isn't it going to feel wooly and horrible after the csl? |
09:10.18 | bilarh | or do they actually handle well nowadays? |
09:10.21 | cpufreak | if I get the money for the CSL this week I'll be putting down a 50% deposit on Saturday |
09:10.32 | cpufreak | the Corvette z06 is very unamerican in handling and feel |
09:10.40 | cpufreak | asides from being quite wide |
09:10.42 | bilarh | aha, nice |
09:11.00 | antiphase | You can always sleep in it if you haven't got a flat |
09:11.07 | cpufreak | it'll lap the 'ring about 10 seconds quicker than the CSL, with the vette on road tyres, the csl on cup tyres. |
09:11.21 | bilarh | bloody hell, they've got it quite right then eh |
09:11.30 | cpufreak | that and it has 500bhp |
09:11.56 | bilarh | supercharged csl? :) |
09:11.56 | cpufreak | antiphase: true; but provided people keep gambling I should be alright |
09:12.06 | cpufreak | nah, done with the csl now |
09:12.12 | cpufreak | need a different type of car |
09:12.14 | Leeds | cpufreak: where do you work? |
09:12.26 | cpufreak | for the world's leading betting exchange |
09:13.20 | Leeds | I assume you're just techie? |
09:13.33 | cpufreak | I manage the performance services team |
09:13.45 | Leeds | okay, but not on the business/commercial side? |
09:13.58 | cpufreak | no, am in the technology department |
09:14.10 | cpufreak | why? |
09:14.21 | Leeds | I work on a few sports prediction games, and the boss keeps talking about getting some 'real' odds from somewhere to integrate into our stuff |
09:14.55 | cpufreak | ahh |
09:14.58 | Leeds | brb |
09:15.00 | cpufreak | you shoudl talk to our business developmetn people |

09:19.32 | Leeds | cpufreak: yeah, hence the questions |
09:20.36 | morsing | antiphase: Inflation |
09:22.12 | Leeds | yay, inflate away your debt - it works for the government! |
09:22.57 | morsing | Leeds: Inflation pays off 2/3 of your mortgage over 30 years |

10:37.18 | ChoHag | "Postcode (Please ensure you enter a space because our programmers are lazy)" |
10:39.24 | wethrin | Because it's so hard to add or remove spaces |

10:41.23 | wethrin | sed -e "s/ //g" # Look ma, no spaces |
10:44.35 | ChoHag | Except they clearly believe they have to add a space because that's what's in the database the post office sent them and then they'd have to do more work than merely add a part to the WHERE clause. |
10:45.46 | wethrin | It's still not hard |
10:46.38 | antiphase | It's easier still to concatenate the two parts before putting them in the database |

12:50.35 | wethrin | notes the Met are being corrupt again |
12:50.56 | bilarh | wethrin: what have they done now? |
12:51.01 | wethrin | http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8192964.stm |
12:51.09 | wethrin | Personal spending on corporate credit cards |
12:51.18 | bilarh | oh right, that's old hat isn't it? |
12:51.32 | wethrin | Maybe the news is that they won't be prosecuted |
12:51.41 | bilarh | wtf |
12:51.49 | bilarh | jesus christ |
12:51.50 | dick_turpin | Yeah silly sods didn't rent porn movies with the cards because as we all know thats OK |
12:51.54 | bilarh | even the police is rotten in england |
12:52.45 | wethrin | Well, let's not go into the whole beating an innocent man during the demonstrations business |
12:52.48 | dick_turpin | wethrin: They are not being prosecuted as there are too many of them we'd have no force left |
12:53.02 | wethrin | Frankly, with the way the Met seems to be - is that a bad thing? |
12:53.41 | bilarh | dick_turpin: it's only 1000 officers |
12:53.45 | bilarh | surely there's more than that in london |
12:54.02 | bilarh | i mean they're on every f'in street corner and doughnut shop nowadays |
12:54.30 | dick_turpin | You wanna live up here, the worst crime we get is nicking a chicken from Sainsbury's, basically its a village. Yet the cops tear round like it Miami Vice |
12:55.18 | wethrin | bilarh: Aren't they Community Support Officers, rather than real police? |
12:55.34 | wethrin | dick_turpin: They're keeping an eye on *you*, aren't they? |
12:56.16 | bilarh | i like to think of them as brown shirts |
12:56.23 | bilarh | and the real ones as "black shirts" |
12:56.51 | dick_turpin | We had a fair last weekend up the local park, there they was in riot gear and stab vests I felt really sorry for the guy weaving wicker baskets "Ello ello that looks like a lethal weapon to me sunny Jim" |
12:57.25 | wethrin | did they expect that much trouble at the fair? |
12:57.26 | bilarh | it's just insane |
12:58.34 | dick_turpin | Its a very big park but I'd say there was 200 people tops you should have seen them, putting out cones walking around in pairs it was pathetic |
12:59.14 | wethrin | oh dear |
13:00.13 | dick_turpin | If I see any walking through the village I have to bite my tongue I want to scream "Who's nicked your car mate?" |
13:01.11 | wethrin | they'd 'ave you for that! |
13:01.15 | wethrin | http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/8192569.stm |
13:02.11 | bilarh | that is a pretty good photo :) |
