    I think so. I mean, its not feasible he wouldn't be (or has partner). But I think his OH must be very patient. Or busy.

    I will tell you what I think, as if matters to anyone.

    You find someone you care about and you go for it. You hold on for dear life.

    Up to a point.

    40. PPR. will get PPR-ed.....
    41. nearlynew will stay on ignore until he gets PPR-ed, then his slightlynewer persona will go on ignore too.
    42. House prices will rise again, to the amazement of nobody except the HPC crowd.
    43. Hamish will make a troubled post, wondering if he has been wrong about the housing market, and confessing he is actually just a misguided debt junkie.
    44. The bears will succumb to an orgy of gloating, backslapping, and "told you so" comments, before they realise it is April 1st.
    45. Julieq will be outed as Merryn Somerset Webb's evil twin.
    46. Cleaver will post a graph, illustrating the frequency of Cleavers graph posting.
    47. None of the bears will buy a house. Nor will they buy in 2011 when prices cross peak. Nor in 2012 when prices climb another 10%. Then they'll all pile in in 2013, shortly before a Eurozone farming subsidy fraud scandal disrupts the world banking system and crashes house prices back to 2007 prices again. (Oh how we'll laugh.....)
    48. Graham Devon will not be awarded a Nobel Prize for Devonian Economic Theory.
    49. Kirstie Allsopp will take a lead role on housing for the new Conservative government.
    50. "The Bears" will continue getting nastier and nastier all year, as house prices rise still further, and the sickening reality of how big a mistake they have made sinks in.

    You dn't do humour well, do you Hamish?

    Stick to attack mode, it comes more naturally.

    I like the way he keeps mentioning that he has me on ignore.

    Is it meant to make me feel bad?
    Or indicate some sort of victory to McTittish?
    Or what?

    I just don't understand why anyone would put another poster on ignore, regardless of how much you disagree.
    It all seems rather silly.

    My predictions for 2010.

    Newcastle United to get promoted.
    Massive cull in government spending with 100,000s of job losses.
    House prices to do something no-one expects.
    Interest rates to rise to 2-2.5% to fend off currency crisis.
    Gogo hamsters to be in stock everywhere for next xmas, but no-one will want one.
