Bring back !!!!!!?, brit1234 and others

!!!!!!?, brit1234 and others, where are you?

Is anyone else missing the daily dose of news posts/links from !!!!!!? and others that make this forum so interesting? It's been dead for over a week now and it's just full of poor quality threads and bickering. The house price/recession discussion has all but ended on here and it's about as dull as watching grass grow.

!!!!!!? can you get back to doing what you do best please and that is posting your daily half a dozen or so to various recession/economy related news pieces so that a) we have something on topic to discuss and b) don't have to go searching for them ourselves??

And where has brit1234 gone? I went out specially and bought myself an 82" wide screen monitor so that his writing would fit on my screen but it's going to waste here. :confused:

:mad:

    Totally disagree, everybody as an angle on the market/economy, the posters mentioned have made large contributions to the board, whether you agree with them or not.

    I see you have contributed 25 posts in 7 months. Well done.:D

    That's not fair. I don't always agree with what they say, but !!!!!!? and Brit always post stuff that contributes to the debate, albeit in very different styles.

    And it goes without saying that they post things that are on a different level to a lot of the very nihilist, hatred-fueled diatribes we've had on here from a lot of posters latey on single mums, foreigners and anyone else who isn't like them.

    I agree. I didn't always agree with what they posted - brit1234 especially, as some of his stuff was often rather extreme - but you could always guarantee that a good discussion/debate would follow on and that is what is needed aound here.

    And 'itsallagame' please do not turn this thread into another thread about NDG as I'm sick of hearing about it now. Go and discuss it elsewhere.
