That one missile would save tax payers billions (best send Mandelson back for the morning though)
That's outrageous, but LOL. BTW, you're responsible for wine all over my keyboard, with that comment about Mandy.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
I'm not going to bother with a prediction - its all out there in the news anyway. However I will predict that a large number of the bull types on here will have either stopped logging in, or have changed their aliases by this time next year. After all, no one wants to look a total plonker, even on here - do they boys?
Doesn't seem to bother you.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

Once there is renewed activity in the market, I think that prices will start to creep up again, but 'when' is the big question.
Why do you think these waelth foreign investors are buying?
Would it be that they expect the price to recover and exceed their buy price at some point?:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

Or of course, go back and delete posts from their past that they'd rather people forgot about.--
Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.0 -

Nearly prophetic, just the wrong way round 'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

Where are we now £158k? (Acc to Nationwide)
So 10% will bring that down to around £142k.
So yep, i'll be in the 10% brigade for the next year of when it will bottom out.So even at current drops (i.e not getting any faster), you think that by March next year (when 10% more will have gone, according to recent falls), the market will bottom out ? with 6 months of recession left at least and 2 years worth of rising unemployment ?
An interesting philosophy. Incredible if it happened like that.Incredible if it didn't happen like that
And what happened:rotfl:;)0 -
this guy is too sharp - only a couple of months out...:T
he predicted a flattening out of house prices and is labelled a bull
