It's even got the repeat sign included in the score! :eek: I can't wait for the knockout rounds, when we have the prospect of putting up with that drone during extra time and penalties. :rolleyes:

It sounds similar to story no. 88 in Jan Somers’ "Building Wealth Story by Story". For those who aren’t familiar, it’s a great read, and available for purchase here. It contains 101 anecdotes on the good, bad and ugly of property investing (mostly it's good), collected by Jan Somers through...
