to not understand why it's funny to slag off peoples home on rightmove?

[DjangoTheDisSilent]

I don't get it.

Everyone has different tastes. Some would love my house, some would loathe it.

I would be quite upset to know that a large group of women in an internet forum were openly slagging off my house and getting vast enjoyment from it.

Aibu and have no sense of humour?

Oh.

'A personal attack' - what? On a house? PMSL.

I love the book review, viking. I flicked through it in Waterstone's the other day and that review sums it up perfectly.

This is not a personal attack on the house - I really like the house. But the Chihuahua on the doorstep. I would trip over it.

The skull over the oven in the kitchen???

Meh, there is also a skull over the piano.

What creature is under the hall table, though? Is it Bambi?

That review is one of the best things - webwise - I have ever read; I have always had a deep, deep loathing (in a Sleb Twaddly-don't know you in real life kind of way) for Alexa Chung: she is the top of her ilk ATM.

What I want to know is: How the heck did LEM find such fabulous gems so quickly, eh?

My RM advert for one of my homes offers up naffo extraordinaire curtains

An I don't think, ever on MN has anyone ever laughed at a house which was humble.

We tend to enjoy pointing and laughing at over priced bad taste (in our opinion), and furniture which doubles as a sex toy.

bullying is long term victimisation of the same victim. Not taking the piss out of human sized bears

I was on the sex bear thread briefly. I didn't find it offensive but it wasn't particularly funny.

There are also five human heads on top of the piano.

op.
The internet is not private in the slightest.
Most people now understand this and appreciate it and act accordingly.

Therefore, if someone, anyone, posts their house on the internet, they need to know, and probably do know, that it is now on public view. [indeed they ant it on loublic vies so they can sell it for the highest amount of money]

People also know that some people online, as in rl, are not necessarily going to act or write seriously or indeed very nicely.

I dont know how old you are. But this is now life in the Uk in 2013.

Lem seems to be in the know about these houses, I'm thinking inside knowledge [taps side of nose in knowing manner]

You are actually right MBLady : It's Dexter selling his London pad

pas
hmm. I was going to write that MN rules are quite clear on pas. That pas are about personal attacks on people who post here.

But I realise that I am not correct on that one.
Because MNHQ sometimes writes that a certain thread "is not in the spirit of the site", or something like that.
Having seen many property porn threads on here, I can only assume that it is in the spirit of the site. I suggest you have that particluar conversation with MNHQ by emailing them about it.
hth

haha, shall we all put a disclaimer before our opinion?

How many floors is that house? that pic of the many stairs and bannisters made me giddy
disclaimer My giddyness is no way intended to hurt the stairs or the houses feelings.

Surely if you're trying to sell something - for a LOT of money - that you have very definitely, clearly, FIRMLY marked with your own taste, then you should be aware that people will react to it?

Some will react with awe, some with mockery. Personally, I don't think that anyone would build/decorate/landscape/inhabit a house like the original on this thread unless they had the hide of a rhino, very firm ideas about what they liked, and very firm ideas about the rest of us shoving it up our jumpers if we didn't like it.

You know what i apologise because I thought you all meant just a normal everyday modest home but yes i find that bear room funny.I wont lie.That is quite a strange decor.

Quite frankly, if you're selling your house and can't figure out that it's a good idea to pick your knickers up off the floor and put your sex toys in the drawer, then you deserve to be mocked.
