Well, it's true. Ya have to put your money somewhere. Real Estate is usually a pretty safe bet for investment purposes.......

Wow. That is a nice house. But I have to agree with you all. If you don't have a family to make it a home it's nothing more than a glorified museum. But I thought I heard somewhere that he didn't buy that house for himself. I'll try to find out where I saw that. Probably in my sleep! I have become so lame brained since I became pregnant! No brain cells left!
Oh yes, I definatly see what you are saying Spice, and I agree...I wouldn't really want to live in a mansion unless I had the people to fill it....other wise as you said it's like a museum (or at least to me) and doesn't have the love that a nice small cottage may have
And Corelli I agree with you as well...I don't like to judge people by their status in the world either, it may get them noticed, but it's really what they're like on the inside not out that counts, right?
Only last week my hub and I found out that we had a window of opportunity to get away for a few days. We then excitedly mulled over where we could go to ALONE (first time in 8 years) and decided on Las Vegas.
Then........just this week......we realized our remodeling is running way over budget (expensive taste, I have....lol) and NOW we realize we can't AFFORD to go away anywhere!
Piddles............
Think Nic would lend a fan his house? LOL!
Did I ever tell you?...a few years ago I was staying at the Las Vegas Hilton (22nd floor!) and I got into the lift (elevator) to go to the lobby when an American guy got in and tried to start a conversation with me. I got the 'hey, you're English' bit and he then proceeded to chat me up and asked me if I wanted to go 'party' with him. I kindly declined his offer and couldn't wait to get out of that lift quick enough!...Now if it was Nicky...!Lol
She's a beauty alright! But is she the kind of house that can be a home?
Seriously!
I can appreciate the beauty of architecture (even if I can't spell it.....lol) and I can very seriously appreciate fine furnishings and gorgeous artwork.....but a house that screams "I've ARRIVED" doesn't do it for me.
I always wonder if the people who live in houses like this ever see each other? Do their voices ECHO off of the walls because the rooms are so huge? Can people ever fill houses this big with things that really show their true selves? Or are they cold, museum, type places? How do you fill up houses this big with LOVE? LAUGHTER? The sound of LIFE?
Oh never mind....I'm babbling!

I think we're twins, Corelli. You and I think alike in virtually every way.

And um.....well.........Nic should be so lucky to find friends (like you'd be)who'd like him for him. I'm sure he runs into people who always have ulterior motives in trying to get to know him. Must happen all the time. I wonder too.....if he values and cultivates the friendships he does have or if he takes them for granted. It would be hard to make new REAL friends in his position, if ya know what I mean.
To be truthful here hun...I'm as honest as the day is long. I like people for who they are and not what they are or what they do or don't have. I've had friends who are well off and I've had friends who are not so well off but that doesn't bother me. So long as I like someone and they like me that's all that matters. There are so many shallow people in this world who judge others by status and money but I'm not one of them. Sadly...the class system and snobbery are rife here in the United Kingdom.
O.O *stares* that's a beauty....lol...I want that house...mansion...whatever you wanna call it...and yes I think the Vixen army visiting there would be a superb idea
Ah............I beat ya to the bullet, ey? I'll have to run over there and check out what others have said........

To be honest hun for me it isn't about the fame and the goodies that it brings...like we all told that poster over at IMDB who asked if any of us would find Nicky attractive if he was a taxi driver...I love Nicky for him, not his fame and/or wealth. I adore the man!
