    Business must be booming eh? You must find it difficult to post during your hectic schedule, are the post times below in between your "Mortgage Advising"?


    LOL!!

    I imagine pretty much all mortgage advisors are less busy than they were - but I don't find that particularly funny. I don't think anyone losing his job is a good thing, apart from, possibly, Gordon Brown.
    ...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 can't believe the vitriol being spewed at saintly here by drbeat. Even the more vociferous everyday bear posters would stop short of the way this poster (drbeat) is behaving. Even if you disagree - you've surely got to show a basic level of respect for other people's opinions?! If we all had the same opinions would would be the f-ing point of this forum?!

    And suggesting that saintly removes his signature?! hello - they are required by the MSE code of conduct to have that signature on there. Yes it does single them out - but it is only a select few posters like drbeat who choose to use it as an excuse to throw a whole load of baseless abuse at them.
    If you really like to abuse mortgage advisers - why not head over to the mortgages forum, there are plenty over there with their signature on full display. Grr.

    so glad you got that out of your system...are you finished yet? And would you like me to pick your toys up for you? :rotfl:

    I'm sure brodders & co will be along shortly to redress the balance. :T

    That's a shame, I was expecting your "thanks" that you seem to add to every single poster's post!

    Drbeat - If you really like to abuse mortgage advisers - why not head over to the mortgages forum, there are plenty over there with their signature on full display, and probably you'll find that all of them have issued the same kinds of mortgages over their careers as saintly has. Go on, why not take all of them on at once, it seems unfair to pick on one who has been brave enough to stray out of their usual habitat! You are saying mortgage advisers have played a large part in building up to this crash, well I would say your anger is misdirected - surely you'd be better off harrassing estate agents and banks - after all it isn't the mortgage adviser who makes the final decision on whether a bank will lend an 125% mortgage! He just facilitates it. Isn't it a bit like having a go at conveyancing solicitors for doing the legal work for a house purchase?!

    ...are you finished? or is your original post going to grow into an epic? Let me know when you're done.

    How come all Carolt's threads turn into bun fights? I think we can safely say that this one has been - derailed.

    oh drbeat. are you a real doctor?
    did you actually have any responses to the points in my "epic" thread?

    No I was posting on here because people like you and Carolt were talking out of their !!!!!.

    Ooooh what a rude man.

    Plenty don't, actually - I post a lot of threads....

    So, to get back on track - who else agrees with Mervyn King?

    I thought the comments on the bottom of the article were pretty revealing. Assuming they're typical of the average reader, then it seems only about 5% of the population is in favour of a bailout of the mortgage market by the taxpayer.

    How about on here? Vote's for Merv: 1.

    Anyone else?
  • Recently all I have experienced is certain individuals with NO experience of buying or selling, who plainly talk out of their rear ends and abuse others because they disagree with people, I am not going to post anymore on this forum.

    So you can all talk yourselves into suicide over life and wallow in self pity - which on the whole is all you deserve.

    Adieu

    What a great guy. He'll be much missed, I'm sure. No idea how we'll make up our own minds without his polite and constructive feedback.

    Now - back to the thread, please.

    So who's with me in voting for Merv as PM? If I'm not allowed Vince Cable, that is?
