No. Looks nice enough though0

Agree. Shall I buy something there? Must admit to not even really being sure as to where it is but it' looks better than Milton Keynes.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I was at university in Southampton. I went to Lymington a couple of times with ex Mrs H while we were students. I remember having stuffed potato skins in a pub, and thinking I'd reached the height of culinary sophistication. That would have been 1994. It might have changed since then.0

No, it's still the height of your culinary sophistication if you're chomping on KFC!!0 -
It has a motor museum0

Allegedly there is also a nice farmers' market on a Saturday.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I had a bite. Put the rest back to be warmed through for the boy's lunch tomorrow. He probably won't get salmonella. I had toast with peanut butter in a fit of pique.0 -
I moored my boat there once

Colleagues parents have sold their house and have retired down there, as has a former director. Are you retiring?
Not as in shy and retiring, are you being pensioned off? Is the knee that bad?0 -
Oh no, still in, but found some cash down the back of the couch so looking for something to spunk it on apart from whores and coke.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Sounds too good to be true.
I bet the Orbea makes a whooshing sound0 -
Mr Goos part of the world - pm him.
As above, ok to live not great to get to civilisation in/out. And by civilisation I mean Southampton and Beyond?
And if Southampton is your idea of civilisation, you're fucked.
Basically, buying down South is a waste of money...Ecrasez l’infame0 -

Elevate your sights.

Edge of the new forest? I hear they just luuurve cyclists down there.0

Cool - cheers guys: much appreciated.
Would only be holiday house as we have friends and family in Bournemouth/Southampton/Portsmouth, be rented out the rest of the time.
Sell it in 10 years then spunk cash on whores and coke.
If not Lymington, any suggestions for cool, chilled out, quaint around those parts withourt Brighton/Bournemouth prices?Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Good decision. You will not fail to make shed loads of cash on property on the South Coast. Just don't live there - you will soon tire of the crap hospitals, schools etc. Do not go east of Southampton, the plans to build across the south coast are mental.
Just think, at some point you can flog the place and buy a beautiful place in West Wales or Northumbria, be away from the madhouse that is the SE and finally relax.
And the only way is west - Lyme Regis way. You will not fail their either. I know midlanders who have bought property there and been surprised at the return.Ecrasez l’infame0 -
The Spar is good there,always hearing people say about it so there must be loads of choice on the shelves.0

Isle of Wight? My oldest childhood pal lives on the island. Commutes to Wimbledon 3 days a week. Cheap like you wouldn't believe, well, for southern England. Ferry to all those places. Good cycling. Garlic farm. Nice shellfish. Faded seaside resorts.0 -

This is exactly what we are thinking - few other pokers in the pie (who hasn't?) but it's 10 year job really. BBG rocks.
Hopefully end up somewhere warm but all depends on what the bambini do - Bambina wants to go into the Navy, bambino tbc and as much as we say that the world is a small place I'd rather not do what I currently do and live 3,000 miles from my parents and therefore it's a bugger to get to their crib for a coffee and a cake on a Sunday........Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I've worked for Isle if Wight ambulance service - it's an utterly random place. TDV's oldest pal's grandma lives there and they say it rocks.
Never really thought about it - good call for pondering over a glass of vino Bianchi (H3: currently drinking Fiano di Benevento, 2015. It's alright but not good enough for NFNATN or TDSD.)Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

No, no in all the name of the sweet baby angels, no, do not move the Isle of Wight. Utter heckhole. Nice to visit for a few days, but beyond shite. Awful hospitals and schools, the place is a complacent dump. Full of inbred nutters and prisons. For cyclists, the roads are very narrow and traffic-choked with twats who won't get the bus. You will die.hopkinb wrote:Matthewfalle wrote:Cool - cheers guys: much appreciated.

You would be better off moving to Warrington, or Stoke, anywhere. People move to the island and do not come back.Ecrasez l’infame0 -

Yeah, I grew up near Portsmouth and I hate the place. But a little north of there seemed OK; I think Hart used to be well rated as a place to live (don't know if it still is) and the Meon Valley is beautiful if nothing else. But house prices always seemed inflated to reflect that.0 -
Yep, that's my neck of the woods. Nice part of the world, once you think beyond the Fareham Fat Girls...Joncomelately wrote:BelgianBeerGeek wrote:Do not go east of Southampton

I love a nice fiano. Then the first time I had one was eating a deliciously simple herb and ricotta ravioli in a square in Arezzo with ex Mrs H3, and I've never quite hit the same experience since. A generalisation, but Italian wine always tastes so much better with food, especially the regional matches. Ah, that reminds me, no booze for a fortnight. Oh well, it gives the liver a break, and improves my riding.0 -

MF specifically states holiday home for visiting the South coast for friends and family.
You'll have to drag my cold dead corpse out of SW London. Most places are nice to visit, but my home for the last 17 years is where I'm staying.0 -
We were married (TDV and I, not Ex Mrs H3 or H3, unless TDV was secretly married to H3 before me) in Citta di Castello, about 10k from Arezzo.
It's a lovely part of the world.
I shall sup my vino Bianchi to you H3. Chin chin as they say by the flag pole.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

BBG has eloquently tugged my heart strings again.
Sorry H3, I'm going with this.
And yes, the hospital is shyyyt. I don't want to end up there. There is a big Aldi (or Lidl, one of the two) just down the road though.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am
