Miki Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Like many of you, I get these offers of Mortgages and Viagra etc. etc all the time.It occurred to me then, that perhaps one has to be pretty hard up to qualify for a mortgage, would that be right ?

Dotty0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 MikiWhy would you have to be hard up to qualify for a mortgage, I'm not with you.Dotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owens88 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Or perhaps they are complementary. If you are feeling 'deflated' because 'the computer says no..' then perhaps you need a bit of a booster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miki Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Thanks Dick,Is there a certain size of an upstanding member of society that the mortgage people will want, before they loan one money ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Are you talking about the size of their endowment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Yes, in a way but the size of it, is not meant to be important, or so Iam told. Perhaps others willy know more about the recognised allowable size of mortgage endowments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miki Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 [quote user="Tresco"]Sorry Miki, but I don't know when I last saw such a turgid thread.[/quote]I saw one last week on a forum, even more turgid but I have to admit, Ihad to look up the full meaning as it didn't seem to fit my thoughts :Turgid \TUR-jid\, adjective:1. Swollen, bloated, puffed up; as, "a turgid limb."2. Swelling in style or language; bombastic, pompous; as, "a turgid style of speaking."Turgid derives from Latin turgidus, from turgere, to swell.2 : excessively embellished in style or language :Bombastic, Pompous- tur·gid·i·ty /"t&r-'ji-d&-tE/ noun- tur·gid·ly /'t&r-j&d-lE/ adverb- tur·gid·ness nounIf your turgid was used for the latter meaning, aplogies, itwas meant in fun. It just came to me, after months and months, maybeeven years, of receiving thousands of emails asking me to buy Rolex's,Viagra and Mortgages and then I just kind of added them together and out of devilryposted my thoughts. I shall retire from frivolity with grace and sue mySpam controllers for mental cruelty caused by too many offers thatfinally I could not deny but finally I had to use. Toodle pip......

Tresco Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Oh good lord, I thought turgid meant all the swollen things, but not bombastic or pompous[;-)]I thought it also somehow meant wearisome, or slow, but of course it was really the swollen earnings of mortgage peoples that I was referring to.Oh Miki, I'll forget you ever called me and old goat! I should not try to be so - what was it - 'smartassey'. Now there is no one to play with, and I won't have an opportunity to post my picture of you showing your 'dark side'.

Tresco Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi Dotty, you're up for it, but Miki is spent! Typical. He starts a conversation, and here we are waiting to give him advice about his bulging box of spam, (or his mortgage), and he can't even be bothered to keep it up! Sorry, I meant keep up with it of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotty0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Clearly he's getting all these spam emails for good reason.[:)] Maybe his endowment's expired.[:D]Either way, he's a light weight. And who is it that says sleepings for wimps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Me, go to bed now! What when Georgie Fame is performing on the box. Do you know something, he was great when we were in our teens, saw him and the Blue Flamesmore often than my own house on many weekends ! Tonight is half good bringing up memoires but the music he plays now, is not all that I remember him for but still....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
