Fun Online Polls: Valentine's Day & Buying from your landlord

The responses to The Stigler's Fun Online Poll were as follows:

What did you get for Valentine's Day?

A card - 11 votes
Chocolates - 2 votes
An evening out - 3 votes
Champagne - 2 votes
Flowers - 0 votes
Sex - 9 votes
Other, please specify - 3 votes
Nothing - 58 votes


There were 79 voters, 58 got nothing and 21 got 30 items in total.

So now we know.
-------------------------------------
Last year, our landlord decided to chuck us out and sell the house.

Being too lazy to move and having given up hope of there being a house price crash, we put in a cheeky offer which was accepted. So the thought experiment which helps us demolish a lot of "Killer Arguments Against LVT" is quite real in my case.

I was chatting about this to somebody at work and he told me he'd once bought from his landlord, and a longstanding YPP accomplice did it a year or two ago. So out of a very small and totally unrepresentative sample, that's three people.

So maybe it is quite common?

To find out, that's this week's Fun Online Poll.

Moving again today!

Her Indoors will not take kindly to me wasting time a-bloggin', so I have left you a nice long essay on the Indian Bicycle Market and its relevance to today's posture politics, for you to mull over.

Moving home ...

... is quite draining on time and energy, as any fule kno. Hence the lack of posts over the weekend. But the weekend is a quiet time for blogging anyway, so I suppose I'm not missing much.

We exchanged contracts today ...

... to sell our old house, completion next Tuesday. Fingers crossed!

I wish you all a pleasant weekend while I desperately try and shift the last bits and pieces from our cellar ...
