Absolutely - ejaculation and umbrellas - the perfect locker room gag.

But not really the sort of comment you'd expect to see in the middle of a discussion on house prices.

Then again, some folk seem to expose a side of their personality from behind the anonymity of the internet. If it spares his family from having to endure that side of his nasty personality by him expressing it here, I suppose that's something positive to come out of his bizarre behaviour......

I have seen a hell of a lot worse stuff which as had no relevance to house prices this week.

There's off-topic rambling/ joking, and then there's creepy and personal.

Spewing out that kind of bizarro stream of rubbish in a real life conversation would most likely lead to anyone within earshot never associating with you again.

But I suppose the internet is a great place to let out the sort of stuff that's churning away in your head that you know you could never get away with verbalising in real life.

Mate we have people insulting the recently dead this week, count yourself lucky.;)
I have found that perticularly sick, but I was ridiculed for it.:rolleyes:
There was a thread (well slanging match) about free speech, the only thing I concluded on this board it was only relevent if it suited a persons point of view.;)
Not a dig mate but there as been some sick people this week (but some retracted coments thank god).

You seem to have got pretty heated about someone making insensitive comments about a random stranger on the news (which the OP later retracted and apologised for) but are quite laid back about posters inserting creepy sexual comments and personal aspersions about another MSE forums member into an otherwise sensible discussion?


Well, I guess this counts as one more wrecked thread by now so I'll not go on, just in case someone can bring it back on topic.

Anyway, back on topic (after !!!!!!?'s many off-topic posts), those durned house prices are still falling aren't they!

Thanks, but why are you up so ridiculously early? :eek:

I couldn't sleep with excitement...!!

No, but I couldn't sleep. I was up all night. I suffer from seriously disturbed and unpredictable sleep patterns. Last week I was seriously wondering if I was developing chronic fatigue syndrome as I had no energy and kept sleeping.

Need to get my head into gear though.... job interview Monday. Not sure what went on there, stupid relapse into fear mode made me actually apply for a job, in a city, miles away ... and now the !!!!ers want to see me

I take it everyone watched the iplayer video with the woman needing to sell due to changed circumstances.

Originally valued at £245,000 the asking price has dropped and dropped..

One year on her latest agent says she'll be lucky to get £150 grand.

The house is beautifully kept with 3 double bedrooms and two bathrooms across 3 floors, but Patricia hasn't had a single viewing in more than a year.

At first I felt a bit sorry for her... what with the 3 floors and her condition, but she hasn't dropped the price to match her EA's valuation; still on at £189,950.

And, maybe she is protesting too loudly, as Needham Market seems to have a fair few suitable retirement type homes for under £150K for her.
