Fucks sake. I don’t have the energy to type out the whole sorry saga, but we sold our house and had an offer accepted on the one we want in March (fucking March!) and despite several setbacks have been working on the premise since August that we’ll be moving this Friday.
After a shit load of chasing it transpires that we’ve basically been bullshitted with a heady blend of turdy Chinese whispers all the way, someone further up the chain isn’t ready so it’s all off until they are.
We can’t do next Friday (apparently it’s traditional to move in a Friday - what the fuck? Who cares!) and we’re supposed to be on holiday from the 20th, so it’s looking increasingly likely that we’re either going to miss out holiday or have to pay thousands in stamp duty which changes at the end of September.
The Mrs has been in tears about four times today, I’ve been holding it together by packing like a mad bastard but the whole thing is just fucked. It’s like playground games except dealing with people’s lives and shit loads of money.

That’s from the solicitors, they want everything tied up at the end of every week, and not rolling over, so the keys get handed over on the Friday now.

There’s no legal reason as to why you can’t complete on another day. Each time I’ve done so, I’ve completed on a Thursday. Completing on Friday is traditional, but not really that sensible. If something goes wrong, you have to wait until Monday to sort it out, as the lenders and lawyers won’t work the weekend. Should be easier to get a removal firm as well. Hope this helps.

My sister in law is in basically the same situation.
The whole chain is being held up by the guy on the very bottom who forgot to give notice to his landlord(?) so has to pay more rent so doesn’t want to move for another month. They all agreed a completion date like a month ago and agreed to buy all the houses months and months ago.
He’s basically going to get everyone above him to pay for his £600 rent so he doesn’t pull away and collapse everything because of the stamp duty deadline.
It’s mad. Literally millions of pounds worth of property and its held up by one cheeky dickhead.
As always the estate agent and solicitors have been shocking. They’ve taken on way way way to many cases to process properly so everything is taking ages.
It’s just been months of daily non-stop stress. Just don’t think it has to be this way.

Was sick last Monday and had low level contstant nausea ever since. No clue what it is.
Also not-stoked. Because I’ve been at home not doing much as a result I find myself going into long anti religion rants in my head and I’m worried I’m going a bit mad.
I don’t know why I’m doing it but the whole Texas abortion thing seems to have tipped me over the edge on living in this crazily unfair illogical world. I think I need to get off twitter and my phone in general. It’s fucking me up because there’s shit all I can do about it.

I love blowing so called religious people’s minds by telling them God does have a name, it’s in the old testament and it’s Yahweh. Something they don’t seem to know?

America has its own version of Christianity where they know absolutely nothing about Christianity beyond “gays bad” “brown people bad” “things I don’t understand bad”. In comparison the Catholic church is surprisingly progressive nowadays which is nuts considering, yknow, the dark ages and all that

If consistently covering up institutionalised child sex abuse is progressive.

It feels like we were getting somewhere and then some properly dark bastards somehow made a lot of people a lot thicker and society is in the shit in so many ways. It feels like the idiots have the keys to everything and we can never get them back.
I’m going to watch a Poirot and then go to bed.

At least we don’t pretend we’re religious about it
Compared to their ridiculously shitty past yeah they’ve come a fair ways at least. They almost accept gay people, black people and other religions exist now which is more than the US republican party
Fair comment but I feel dipshits will fight harder for their religious beliefs than they will for Sharon wrote on Facebook. We have thousands of years of history to back that up
Good point
But that’s not good enough. From their property investments to their protecting of child abusers, fuck them. (I’d hoped for a recent story about a priest abusing children, but the most recent one I could find is from way back in yesterday.)
Never mind the whole ‘profiting from making people behave a certain way based on blatant lies for hundreds of years’ thing.
Imagine a private company had this many staff who were abusing kids. Image what would happen to a company that wasn’t as corrupt as this lot. Imagine these people weren’t mentally ill and were open to prosecution rather than a new life in the southern hemisphere.
oh dude i’m with you 100%. the catholic church has millennia of crimes against humanity. just now it seems the American right wing are trying to out-brian cant them with their pseudo-religious bullshit
there’s a catholic school near my parents’ house in West London that had a kiddy fiddling priest who fled to the Vatican to avoid being sentenced here. so so many similar cases

The right can align themselves with the kind of intolerance they like when it’s tied in with religion and under the guise of ‘wholesomeness’ or family values. Hence the Texas news, I guess.
Fuck religion.
