When do you find time to do the shopping, dusting and hoovering?

DD - not funny, that one, really. Try something else.

Amazingly, I married someone who does their fair share of the housework and knows how to cook!

Me too. I wouldn't bother with a bloke who didn't.

I do most of the cleaning, and the washing. OH irons, does all the food shopping, and we both cook.

Frankly, from this chain of posts, you strike me as a person who likes to crack jokes and come across as the cool guy at others' expense... and when you realise that you might have taken things a little too far, instead of coming clean and admitting you crossed certain limits, you try (with little success) to make that funny saying that you were joking all along and other people on this forum are ganging up on you.

Other posts by you in the past have also struck me as pointedly bellicose, only I haven't necessarily chosen to comment. I make an exception and come in here due to a markedly appalling attitude that you exude in some of your posts here, making you look like a sexist ignoramus.

Frankly, the pity is that I have also seen some very insightful comments that you have made on some other forum conversations elsewhere, so its a real shame that we are seeing another extreme of you in some offensive posts on here.

Sorry DD - no intention of wasting my life reading through your back threads to prove a point. Rather have my fingernails pulled out.

If it was revenge, it rather failed, didn't it dear? As all you succeeded in doing was making yourself look very stupid. So I take it all that stuff about your wife was just pulling our legs, right? Phew. And that you can cook, help out at home like normal men, etc. Very relieved for your sake. Something scary about a grown-up in this day and age who needs his wife to look after him like a baby!

BTW, you'll find the reason people don't post on the housing board about mortgages is because they prefer - strangely enough - to post on the Mortgages Board. I do believe that's what it's there for.

Have a good day!

Please supply a link to this carol.

I seem to remember erm a thread where you erm admitted you were really a 6ft 4" bloke from Doncaster who likes to cross dress. erm or somesuch thing.

Strangely, Dithering Dad, your more bile-filled invective laden trollbait posts seem to have a habit of disappearing after you post them.

Seems to be a bit of a pattern with you - a nasty personal attack followed by an insistence that it was all a joke that the person you baited has taken too seriously and the original post disappearing without a trace.

Goodness me. DD, I wouldn`t class my self as a nutter for posting here. Nor would I class Lynz, Carol, !!!!!!?, PN, ND and many of the other regulars as nutters. My agenda is very transparent and I have made that clear many times. OK on a selfish side it might be nice to see houses drop in price so I have to find less money to buy that retirement bungalow at Wrinkle - Super - Mare but if they don`t I could still do it.

In fact, twice by default I have been a landlord. Very stressful and not for the faint hearted. It`s something I wouldn`t want to do again particuarly.

I hope that people I mentioned above don`t think i am making assumptions with what i am going to say but my guess is that, like me, they are gob smacked by the greatest pryamid selling scheme in living memory, namely the housing market.

No one has ever convinced me that the housing market is nothing other than a bubble that many years ago lost touch with fundalmentals. Indeed it`s only kept going by crazier and crazier mortgage products and desperation. Show me a bubble that has never corrected.

As to posters saying they have a by to let and are struggling to fund it, I personally can`t offer any advice. I know a number of would be buy to letters that I have put off the idea. I did that by just getting the figures and showing what an awful gamble it is. I took a course in buying to let some years ago and know the basics regarding the subject. Most I know who were intending to become landlords had no idea of rental yields.

Also I wouldn`t offer anyone advice if struggling with a buy to let because how many times I might try, for a lot of newbie landlords, now in a down turning market, there is little constructive advice.

Not understanding the housing ponzi scheme I admit to. Nutter no.

No, it's based on your suggestion that a housewife's job was to look after the house and cook dinner for her husband who went out to work all day for her, followed by your claim that your wife was a full-time housewife. So, logically, that was what your wife did for you.

Making yourself look silly again!

carolt

You can and do look silly.

I am glad you don't feel silly.

I am quite with you that this is not real life, which is why I'm still posting despite some vicious attacks from some on here; I couldn't really care less.

I'm not out to wound you deeply and don't like the thought of you weeping silently into your paperclips at work. I will give as good as I get, though, as much for amusement as anything. But I'm sure you can take it.

I can take it, but can you? By the extent of your housewife and 'vicious attacks' ranting, I'd say not. :rotfl:

Do you wonder why such a nicey nicey person you seem to think you are suffers from 'vicious attacks from some on here'?

As I said already, and as you're quite aware, I'd never even come across you before you carried out a 'vicious attack' on me. I assume the others who don't get on with you suffered the same fate. I'd suggest that if you don't like receiving it then don't dish it out in the first place, Carol.

My paperclips are quite rusty with all the crying I did into them them you first attacked me. Each time I feel your barbs I cry a little more.

There there......

People attack me because I dare to suggest the bleeding obvious - house prices are falling. I'll cope. (Weeps piteously.)

Funnily enough, I first came across you on the thread mentioned above, where you were trolling another couple of female posters. Ho hum - maybe you need a more fulfilling hobby?

No one gets any decent financial advice, and no one gets any help and support on the housing thread.

I don't think that's true. Just today, on the housing board, there are discussions about the meaning of leasehold, and the rights and obligations which attach to it, and a thread about planning permission, and another about building regs and indemnity policies.

All have helpful, detailed advice on them. In the first case, from yours truly....
