    Mr B probably won the lottery on Wednesday.
    That's the only explanation for his departure. He's on a yacht sailing in the Med with nubiles peeling grapes for him.

    At the Brodericks house this evening.

    Mrs B - "Darling, why have you cut our internet off? The children are complaining"

    Mr B- "Well you see, I posted thousands of times on this web-forum with my strident, inflexible views and heaped derision on anyone who didnt agree with me. Over time my boss started to get really annoyed with all my time wasting and then the global economic conditions changed so much that my position became intenable and I began to look progressively more ridiculous. Until in the end I tried making middle of the road threads in order to look like I wasnt some kind of deranged totalitarian house price inflation jihadist, unfortunately this didnt stop all the people Id wound up constantly making fun of me and pointing out how completely and utterly wrong I was evertime I showed my avatar.

    This humiliation leads me to only one sensible outcome. Cutting off the internet so I cant go on there again. I hope that explains it all."

    Mrs B - "I want a divorce"

    I reckon Mr. B's BTL empire has just come tumbling down around him from being on SVR and his entire "portfolio" :rolleyes: (including his own house) have been repo'd :D .

    This is strange Mr B.
    Sure everything's OK????
    Usually it's us girls who outpour tons of emotion/ life history during a sensible thread on house prices........feels better afterwards tho'.

    Have a good summer. This Crunch is dead rubbish BTW.

    Perhaps he's following my lead. Us self employed have to have a load of discipline with this kind of stuff. No boss to regulate things....have to do it yoirself. I allow an hour or so at end of day (11pm onwwards mostly) except everyones gone by then....still...... have the board to oneself to potter around on.
    Mr B dial up for an hour a day @ 11pm.....just to keep in the loop.;)

    Not on your own <evil laugh>
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I'm on here as well - nothing to watch on telly and so I thought I'd see if Mr B has reappeared.

    Good to see Mr B is safe and well.
