Oil Down, £ up against the Euro and $, Commodities down!
Comments

Hello Carolt. Sorry If I fail in academic performance, but common sense and articulation pays.Apparently it's not that easy. Because quiet should be spelled quite.
Back to your 'topics'. How do you view the following interpretations?
oil and commodities down = worldwide recession expected.
sterling up = interest cuts not coming as soon as expected.
If you try to think before you post, and preferably, don't post at all, it will save me a lot of time and trouble.
Please don't take this the wrong way.
It's meant to be offensive.
Sorry but why are you such a puppet? If I posted the opposite you would be rubbing your crotch.
Sorry I have read posts on food inflation and the poorest car sales since 1966 and you say nothing! do you really have to take offence at any good news.
Oil is down nearly 40% now almost back to the start of year.
People like you worry me!0 -

Damn right, I'm pretty glad I didn't request that Google ads cheque yet

I am pointing out these snippets of information can be interpreted in different ways. You chose to post it as good news, I chose to interpret it as bad news.justpurchased wrote: »do you really have to take offence at any good news.
Now if actual petrol prices had dropped by 40%, and the weekly shop bill had fallen instead of rising by c. 20%, then I might be more receptive. But that is not the case.
The government, VI's, bulls, etc. can post all they like about 'good' things, but the 'fact' is everything (apart from houses) is getting much more expensive. It is becoming a real struggle to find the next economy to leave a little spare each month.0 -

There were rumours a while ago that both carolt and !!!!!!? used multiple users to back up their arguments and to give themselves 'thanks'. I can understand doing that if you have insecurity issues or simply cannot win discussions by the weight of your arguments/intelligence, but it's still a little sad. Not a bad tactic though because the person you're attacking suddenly sees 4 or 5 people against him and starts to falter (not me though, I'm too self confident
). Someone pointed out that a lot of !!!!!!'s 'supporters' were quite new to the forum and all had similar writing styles and made the same spelling and grammatical errors as !!!!!!.
It has also been noted that !!!!!! seems to jump to carolt's defence at every opportunity, which makes one wonder if either !!!!!! is scanning for carols posts (worrying), reads every single thread and post made on the Housing forum (sad), has an amazing skill where he simply 'stumbles' across EVERY post where she is getting attacked (unlikely) or finally that when carolt is attacked, she logs on as !!!!!! and defends herself (who knows). Actually, another alternative is that she PMs !!!!!! and he comes running (birth of a love affaire?)
I did think that mewbie was a 'flag of convenience', but s/he seems to post quite a bit so I changed my view to thinking that mewbie is a new username for a regular who had a lot of baggage and wanted to make a fresh start. I speculated that mewbie was squatnow (who now seems to have vanished) but you can never really be sure unless you're a mod and check out their IP addresses.Mortgage Free in 3 Years (Apr 2007 / Currently / Δ Difference)

OK.. I admit it. It was almost impossible to pull off, the sheer number of posts has begun to do my head in. Not only that, but altering the style for each 'personality', remembering who you are logged in as, adding typo's, and so on has lead to me needing to increase my regular therapy sessions.Dithering_Dad wrote: »I did think that mewbie was a 'flag of convenience', but s/he seems to post quite a bit so I changed my view to thinking that mewbie is a new username for a regular who had a lot of baggage and wanted to make a fresh start.

I better come clean with my multiple log ins. I am !!!!!!, CaroleT, NDG, mewbie (duh), Squatnow, Dulce, JustPurchased (not a great success), PickledPink (my finest creation) and of course, let's be honest, DitheringDad.
Sorry to those real users, if there are any, for wasting their time.0 -
