h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've just accepted an offer on one of my houses.

The good news is that this will mean I'm no longer paying two mortgages with only one salary, and with therefore be able to afford expensive habits, like eating every day.

The bad news is I will shortly no longer be able to use the phrase "one of my houses".

Swings and roundabouts, eh?

Do you have any staff? Being able to say "I'll have my see to it" is just as good, if not better than saying "one of my houses"...

A plague on both your houses

A *plaque* on both my houses. Blue ones. Saying "Son of Roj Blake lived here..."

And here I am forced to play vulture during a sudden influx of foreclosures just to get one house.

Swoop! Strike! Talons out, beak in! Mmmm tasty house.

I wouldn't have thought you'd have staff, you'd have 'people'. As in, 'One of my people will deal with that'

People? 'People' are so middle class.

Sounds very 'media' to me.

I used to think "people" meant everybody, but apparently not so. It excludes bosses.
