• Gets the manufacturers' name wrong

• Makes a bid for a car placed on ebay or similar without any positive feedback
• Dresses up as, or asserts that they are a priest or mulla in an attempt to pay less for the car
• Is a young driver who just passed his test looking to buy a cheap old car, rice it up, and show off to thier friends. Quite likely to wreck it in a month.

If selling an old or rare car on ebay, it is advisable to warn tyre kickers from bidding.

location, location, location

Phrase to remind people that the most determining factor in the price of a house is the location. The property itself can be build on, extended, knocked into the next property etc.

There are three things to remember when valuing a property;

1-Location
2-Location
3-Location

Faith no more

One of the very few bands that can't really be accused of 'selling out' by anyone who expects thier allegations to be taken seriously. Could be called the origianal rap-metal band?

You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me you're only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain't bleedin' enough for two
It's a midlife crisis...

eurodisney

The former name of Disneyland Paris. Thought to be a large albatross, a proverbial lead balloon. Due to high prices and bad reviews, Europe's largest theme park turned out to be disney's biggest disaster. It took some time to get the image and prices on track. In 1999, Disney announed that they had broken even...after six years of losing money. Eurodisney has yet to announce whther the loss sustained until 1999 has been recouperated, but it shall be stated soon that the project has entirely broken even.

I was in Eurodisney the year it announced it had broken even.
