Council housing will be coming back though:thumb:
Property crash opens door to the new council house Wondered where all the council houses had gone Does mean those people who obtained very unusual mortgages (10x pretend income)which they pay the monthly instalments via credit card might have to consider these? |
Whoever this Pete bloke is - he seems to own a couple of you!
Walk over and look in the mirror, are you happy with what you see staring back at you? (indeed, does the reflection look like this Pete you are so infatuated with?) |
I actually think Pete now infracts himself to yet again create more of a discussion, insane, most defiantely ;)
As far as the topic of conversation goes, builders {of the house kind} are selling at stupid prices, it is a fact I know someone who has just got a house with 60k off it on a new build. Also 60 houses in 3 days is easy he did say looked at not went in ;) |

Slavery was abolished years ago and as far as I can see there is no other possible way that you could legally own a human being. I do understand how some people live there lives through Internet forums though, very sad, but I guess it suits some as they can hide away behind their keyboards bigging themselves up and pretending to be someone or something they are not :cuckoo: Must be bad for them when they have the rug pulled from under their feet :D So how's the BMW? :lol1: |
CD, stop a second, stand back and think.
You are in danger of getting 'owned' in the internet sense. ;) |

You are in danger of getting 'owned' in the internet sense. ;) Owned is a slang word,[1][2] that originated among 1990s hackers, where it referred to "rooting" or gaining administrative control over someone else's computer.[3][4] The term's original usage was close to that of the traditional meaning of the word "own" - for instance, "I owned the network at MIT" indicated that the speaker had cracked the servers and had the same root-level privileges that the legitimate owner of the servers had. "Owned", a later variant, became more common in the late 1990s, as did the more abstract usage referring to any compromised security mechanism. By 1997, "owned" was regularly used in website defacements,[5][6] and it subsequently spread to gaming circles, where it was used to refer to defeat in a game. For example, in Counter-Strike: Source or Call of Duty 4, if someone makes a particularly good kill shot, they might say owned or pwned. Owned has now spread beyond computer and gaming contexts and become part of standard slang, where it typically entails severe defeat or humiliation, usually in an amusing way or through the dominance of an opposing party.[7] Other variations of the word owned include own3d, 0wn3d and pooned,[7] terms which incorporate elements of leetspeak. At some point, the variant term "pwned" appeared in the same subculture; this alteration originated from typos that occurred when hasty gamers tried typing too fast on the keyboard, thus missing the "o" and typing "p" instead. Pwn has become a term in its own right but is sometimes still verbally pronounced [oʊn] in recognition of its origin. Some attribute its origin to one particular instance in which Paul Semenets was ridiculing a fellow employee at his workplace by repeatedly typing "pwned" on their computer screen only to be slapped. This *hilarious video was circulated on the web for sometime. It seems a popular pastime is to write "owned", "pwned", "pwn3d", etc, on pictures depicting humiliation or defeat. There have been several websites dedicated to this such as Owned.com. This site also contains videos of similar situations (many of which can also be found on YouTube). Owned and pwned are mostly used by gamers. OK, I've done some research and am now down with the kidz. I assume you are referring to the bit in bold, and in that case I would appear to be winning :D Of course I'm expecting the usual childish name calling retaliation and I expect his sock puppet Leslie to appear at any moment to defend his name :rolleyes: Anyway, just a bit of fun on a forum that's all. I don't take it seriously, unlike some :D |
