I can't even process how someone who claims to be so smart is such a stupid cockbag
What?
Japan, how has the house buying been?
that is why he is stressed I assume
there were shenanigans with some permits
Actually that's all sorted out. The problem now is I need documentation from my father and can't get it.
British law is strange and confusing
The problem, fundamentally, is that my father is essentially lending me the money for a mortgage deposit, on the understanding that at some unspecified point in the future he gets back the proportion of the value of the property that he lent to me in the first place. It's an investment, basically.
Now, the easiest and quickest way to do this is for him to give me the money as a gift (and document it as such), and to have a solicitor draw up a contract that says (without specifying why) that I owe my father X% of the market value of the property I'm buying, to be paid at any point or whenever the property is sold or otherwise liquidated.
My father has now decided that he is not happy to declare the money as a gift, and wants it documented as a loan from the outset, which basically means starting all over again with the purchase documents.
EDIT: Even though we talked about this and agreed on how we were going to do it two months ago.
Oh my. Did he explain why he had the sudden change of mind?
So it seems I will be going out tonight with a friend. Yay for doing stuff.
I haven't done stuff for several months
You should try it, it is good for you. Maybe go see Surrogates, looks interesting. That and this guy is one of my d&d group guys who is a huge geek. Maybe we might be able to snag our old GM who lives down here, too to go with us.

Nope.
This is part of why dealing with my father is so infuriating, because he will insist that this is what he's said all along.

Also, will that be reported on your credit as a loan? Because it can affect how the mortgage company lends to you if it is.
The first video games I ever owned came with the Amiga 500+ "Cartoon Classics" bundle and were Captain Planet and the Planeteers, Bart vs. the Space Mutants and Lemmings.
Two of those three were terrible.
Ah Lemmings, the game that taught you that if you screwed up, you could nuke everything and start all over.
Come to think of it, it wasn't even a nuke option. It was a "HEad asplODE!" option.
It was a Scanners option.

I will be sad when I run out of Night Watch books.
I read the first one, but I haven't been super motivated to read the rest. And by the first one I mean Guards! Guards!. I liked it but it wasn't like when I started some other series had to have more.
So yesterday, I was dragging behind my girlfriend in Sears while she was clothes shopping. Half an hour before closing time, they announced on the speakerphone that there was a two-for-one sale on men shoes and boots. I got a new pair of leather winter boots at $110, and a new pair of leather dress shoes normally at $100 for free.

That whole arc gets significantly better with the next couple of books.
I think Jingo is my favourite.

"Dragging my girlfriend behind Sears" is how I read it.
Elldren is tragically familiar with the word's traditional meaning.

Honestly the difference in quality between guards guards and night watch is fucking astounding, and I'm also surprised at how consistently the books got better without any backsliding.

It's not so much an improvement in writing as simply having more developed characters to work with. It's kind of a pattern with Pratchett that the third book onwards featuring a recurring character will really be those that define them.

This is why I would have made different arrangements if he'd said this in the first place.
EDIT: And is the reason I'm now potentially looking at starting the whole process over again.

Sorry to hear that japan. I suppose there isn't anything in writing atm to show what was agreed to originally?
You're stupid.

Hey pal, fuck you
The thing in writing is basically the last thing required to finalise the purchase. Unfortunately, there is not.
That whole arc gets significantly better with the next couple of books.

Which ones? I have a signed copy of Brotherhood of the Snake
Sandy Mitchell is also great- I heartily recommend the Ciaphas Cain series.

Sears
The Ravenor omnibus.
I have the Eisenhorn trilogy and from what I understand Ravenor is more of the same (in a good way).

No mall is complete without one.
Or a Macy's.
I also eat pork and don't go to church.
Ugh
Malls
I am keenly aware.
I hope you were nice to the assistant.
