What?

don't buy, rent...he said....you deaf ?

Interesting thread.

Food security will be a big issue, so will water scarcity and peak oil (eventually). So you could say that plots of land with adequate water close to cities will be quite valuable. Although I'm not so sure about those further out.

It can also be willed to you, yes a foreigner....even a grouchy miserable old kunt....but it can be and you then have 12 months or so to do something with it. Sort out other ownership, sell it, transfer to kids etc.

Are you sure? I was told that if the EVIL old bat is still around, she has first claim...I honestly hope you are correct though, as it makes my skin crawl to think IT could get it's hands on it (I already put our plots in the boys name as second owner on the chanote) but you never know the way things turn out here. And what about if the wife has an evil spawn from a previous marriage, and that creature happens to be older than the loving little creature that has been spawned from you own loins?

Never thought anyone actually read this forum!

I honestly believe that clean drinking water will become the new oil. Or was that water in to wine...... maybe hydrogen... once you separate it from oxygen........ shit i don't know''''''''' ask your bloody mother!
