Looks good Nick! Cleanest it's been since Auto Salon I bet!

Enough of the shit canning.

Haha yeah ok ok, I'll come

It's no different to most industries, you have you good and bad. I think the problem with the real estate industry is the fact that people hope and dreams ride on property so vendors hold a little bit of power there. Plus the fact that there are such large sums of money involved. You're correct though. A lot of buyers have unrealistic expectations on what they can get for their money or simply spread themselves too thin.

Mate... I'm just saying in your replies you sound a little arrogant saying all us buyers are the same. Anyhow, unlike a lot of keyboard warriors on these forums I can assure you I'd say the same things I type to anyone's face

Mate I haven't forgotten anything. Even your replies sound like a typical arrogant real-estate agent. I understand they have a job to do but there is a little thing called "customer service" and what you seem to be forgetting here is that the person selling the property is not the only customer. You are offering a product (is this case real estate), so the customer if within their rights to expect some decent service, not to be treated like a second class citizen simply because they are a dime a dozen. In this case I held firm and did not increase my offer and guess what, they did come crawling back. Thanks for the lesson in adulthood. Are you not reading and posting in the same thread I am, we all think this same thing. Now why would that be? This is not a personal attack it's an attack on the pricks out there. Typically I don't tar everyone with the same brush and I'm willing to admit there MAY be some decent companies and agents out there but hey, the majority are pricks from all accounts.

Couldn't agree more man.

Dude, that's because real estate agents ARE knts. Make no mistake they are on par with f**king lawyers. They talk like the sun shines our their f**king asses and act they are the doing ME a favour, not providing a service when I'm purchasing property. They say whatever the f**k they think I want to hear to get my interest then play games with phantom bidders to push the property price up. There is service, service, service until the dotted line is signed then bang, they disappear never to be heard from again. They've got the commission, what do they care. I have nothing but disgust for the service I received from Barry Plant. Perhaps not all Estate Agents are the same but hey, until I meet one that isn't it stands.

I really should do this. Never donated, I should HTFU and do it.

Mmmmmm! Agreed!

45 leg press is an tricky one huh seeing it works Glutes, Hamstrings and Quadriceps. I find it's all about foot position and transfer of power through the ball or heel of the foot depending on what you're looking for. You deeper you go the more glutes are invovled in this exercise too.

I don't think you realise it's not that bigger deal until you actually stop drinking for a while to be honest. What I found amazing is when I went out to Pubs etc for parties people would look at me really weird when I said I wasn't drinking, like there was something wrong with me and drinking was the normal, not vice versa. Made me realise just how much of a drinking culture we actually live in.

Yeah spot on mate. I've done a hell of a lot of reading on the subject but was still amazed at the results!

Hey just to lighten the mood I thought I'd tell you about my experience with booze and weight loss/gain. I had a check up in November last year when I was using some (legal) sups which can affect cholesterol. I have a history of heart disease so my new doctor wanted a full medical done. Anyhow, one of the tests was a liver function test. A bit of back history, I'm not a regular drinker (a glass or wine or a beer a few times a week), I'm more of a binge drinker and it would be maybe 3 weekends a month or less but when I did drink, I'd put away a shit load with the boys. Anyhow, personally I'd always find I carry extra weight after a BIG weekend on the booze. At maximum up to 3kg!! No doubt this was extracellular fluid which is typically cause by irritation/infection. My liver function test came back with results out of the normal so my doctor wanted me to go booze free for 2 months for a follow up test which happened to fall over Christmas/NYE - no way that was going to happen. I've been booze free for 12 weeks this weekend and have had my follow up test done and it's now perfect, as is my cholesterol @ 3.3. The BIG difference is weight loss though, I've shed a large amount of body fat, and not the easy stuff, I'm talking the really stubborn belly and love handles. I'm now starting to see a 6 pack etc! I never would have realised how much of a difference booze makes to weight loss. Sure I understand the livers role in fat metabolism and the effects alcohol can have but I never realised just how much difference it makes. I can now eat much more junk and still stay trim, even loose weight! Wish I had of tried this earlier Just thought I'd share because I see a lot of guys slogging it out gym then hitting the booze hard over the weekends eating up all that hard work!

The onus really falls on you. As harsh as this may sound you should ALWAYS get full name, address and phone number before sending payment and verify them! I always give out these details when I sell to forum users. I've been ripped off before so I do feel for you but it's too soon to tell yet. He hasn't been on line in around a week - hey may be away, who knows. Best keep trying and see how you go as in reality us Mods and Admins can do nothing about this.

Driver training and education is the key. Make it harder to get and keep a licence. Tougher penalties for ALL drivers not just P-platers.

SOLD - Thanks.

Dude, I had to read that like 4 times...

Money = greed.

Nasty, yeah looks it the same club but it's administration, not employees.
