to be a little gleeful that...

A couple I know who think they're the dogs gonads have just bought the ugliest house.

Many of you will say I'm lame and need to get a life. But this has put me in quite a good mood!

That is all.

[PitilessYank]

Pike-so many stairs! Or perhaps a urethral elevator?

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

Schlong lighthouse! Guess what I'll be spending tonight's euromillions winnings on...

oh I see OP, you are a snob about the outside of a house. That makes sense.

I live in a early 30s house, but would consider moving to a 60s built one, the layouts are often better for modern life styles, 30s or earlier ones have crap kitchens unless you do work, often don't have enough bathrooms, have tiny 3rd bedrooms in relation to the others etc.

The outside of a house isn't really all that important to most people, not compared to space and location, a pretty house doesn't add much value as most people aren't snobs like you so won't pay for it you spend much more time inside your house, putting up with a rubbish layout, than outside appriciating the beauty of the exterior.

You're*

[SoupDragon]

it shouldn't offend if someone says they don't like your style of house! Why are people getting defensive?

That isn't what you are doing though is it? You are sniggering in a smug, superior manner. When actually you don't have superior taste at all, just different taste.

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

op you've posted pictures of what nice houses are to you but what does your actual house look like?

[Theimpossiblegirl]

It exists!

OP I think your 'snobby' friends may have the last laugh here.

I have friends who bought the most awful run-down 1960's house in a nice area. They got an architect in and years later - the house is a stunner both inside and out. They've just had it valued at just shy of 800k.

I live in a period property and I love my friends house. They have way more space than me.

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

Pitiless 😂

[FuckYouJamieOliver]

I love penis house !

[thisismypassword]

One spelling mistake on one post and you jump on it. Shame. I'd have hoped you'd have had more grit.

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

Sorry op, ignore my post about your house. I see you've already said you live in an ugly house.

[BackforGood]

How on earth is a terraced house, with small rooms, no garage, and no parking, better than a semi, with a driveway and a garage ???

I mean, horses for courses and all that, but give me practicality over what something looks like any day of the week.

I used to live in a Victorian villa. It was awful. Very beautiful to look at and with original features, but cold,draughty, full of spiders the size of my fist, cost a fortune every time something needed repairs and to heat, I fell down the stairs twice as they were so steep, the neighbours had access across the back of my house so no real privacy, the bathroom was an extension and led directly off the kitchen, so moved it upstairs and lost a bedroom, I was as glad as fuckery when we moved to our 1980s soulless box. I don't have to do anything but clean it 😀

Paul I said my house was ugly from the start... Never hid that! It looks like this but it's not my house!!

We bought it so we could afford to have 2 maternity leaves and not have to worry about money. We shall look back fondly and gratefully at this house.

[gunting]

Well maybe this couple you're sneering at have a perfectly good reason to buy their 'ugly' perfectly normal house too?

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

As I'm sure your the couple you're mocking will with theirs. You are literally making fun of people who are similar to who you were a couple years ago apart from the house they bought is more attractive

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

This is so dumb I can't get my head around it.

[thisismypassword]

Paul not quite sure what you're gibberimg on about but thanks for the input.

[PitilessYank]

I also fell down the stairs in our Victorian house growing up! Several times!

Recently a friend told me she was always envious of our house back then, which is funny, because I always envied her more modern, bright, cheerful house.

I do love old houses, they are very lovely, but I don't really hanker to live in one.

However, when I am ready to retire, I would be prepared to move to England from the US to live in a penis-shaped home with a group of other old biddies from Mumsnet.

I will be bringing a bunch of fancy bean bag chairs, a load of cash, and four turtles.

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

It's fairly self explanatory (apart from the random 'your' that appeared).

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

As long as we can buy a cockatoo to live with us I'm game!
