    Profanity suits you.

    Being an idiot suits you...sir;)
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly

    Surely you mean nadir, rather than zenith?!

    (I reckon it's a good general idea only to use fancy words if you are sure you are using the right one. Otherwise you look a bit silly)

    Im totally out of my league here.I thought Zenith made camera,s........

    so do Nadir make cameras too???:rotfl:

    On a serious note I think (for what its worth) we are in for a big correction in values....Housing stock has been way over valued , FTB still priced out of the market,I dont believe banks will lend excessively like before,FTB,s will not be able to save large enough deposits, = houses wont sell,housing ladder freezes up= wont reach the bottom of the trough till 2012...........OR only other way out is banks to start lending excessively again...

    That were them there Zenit lot (ruskies), Praktica (east German) were better...

    No argument with the rest of your post, just to add that the trough could well last for 10 years or more (Troosers has !!!!!! 10 years of 'normal' growth up the wall in the last couple of months).
