Moving Issues

[kingandy]

So we're into February, and before too long we may have to look into locating a new place to rent. (I'm shelving the idea of buying a house for now, at least until I have a good few thousand pounds behind me for deposit, fees, furniture, walrus tax, and whatever else the Fates throw at me.) I'm pretty sure we'll have to move this Summer; last year the landlady only let us stay because we left it until a week before the end of the contract to ring her and ask about renewing, and she didn't want to throw us out on our ears (or something). Maybe she'd be happy to have us stay on if we gave her fair warning (so didn't book decorators in) - it would save her paying an estate agent, after all. On the other hand, she may want to get new tenants in so she can put the rent up or something. I don't know. I'm not mad keen on staying anyway - it's kind of out of the way, and the neighbours are evil.

That, of course, leaves the question of where to move to. My vote goes to Bolton, since I spend so much time driving back and forth from there already, and there's not a great deal in Manchester that can't be found there - and Manchester is within easy reach, and I am given to understand that the housing prices are much lower. bacony, on the other hand, may well be working in Manchester by Summertime, and while Manchester is accessible for an evening out it is less attractive for the daily commute. Given that she'll be making that commute more than I visit people in Bolton, that seems to be a fairly hefty factor.

Oh well. We have time yet before we have to really start looking, and we don't even know for sure where she'll find work ... I seem to recall there's a good lot of solicitors in Stockport, for example, and I'm not moving there. In the mean time, if anyone knows of any Legal Cashier jobs going in Bolton, give us a shout.

...and we will feed you tea and cakes

Andy moves to Bolton, we kill him, then feed him cake. Right?

Yes! After we kill you we will dress you up all nice and pretty and have spiffy tea parties. We can even have paper hats.

I could of course be getting the wrong end of the stick.

I was thinking good cop, bad cop, so when you tried to intimidate Andy into joining us, I thought I'd try to entice him...
We need a 3rd kind of cop, otherwise Jo doesn't have anything to do...

Sadly convention gives her "dangerous to know" cop... or "Ugly" cop..

Neither partcularly inticing.

There is of course the 'Angry Captain' archetype who'll bust us down to traffic duty, or worse still take our badges and guns from us if we ever pull one more stunt like that. Of course once Andy actually shows any sign of actually getting away with it(preferably with a suitcase full of drug money) he'll turn a blind eye and heartily congratulate us if we manage to stop him.

Do you often talk about your fiancée as masculine?

I was waiting for that. I was refering to the Angry Captain archetype whom I associate with the masculine pronoun. Of course, Jo does actually wear the trousers in our relationship

So Jo, if we can have an

"LISTEN SLEEZEBAGS! IF I HEAR YOU WITHIN 20 MILES OF THIS CASE THEN IT'LL BE YOUR BADGES - NOT GET OUT MY MY OFFICE!!!!"

That would be lovely
