    Re: FT, Lex: House Prices set to continue downwards

    I didn't expect them to be dumb/desperate enough to print two hundred billion pounds of brand new money, monetising over a fifth of the national debt, in a year.

    As it is, the inflationary knock on effects of that desperate policy (which are becoming obvious with the release of the latest figures) have meant that in real terms prices have stayed flat over a year ago. So an unprecedented programme of debt monetisation has resulted in them arresting the downward slide for less than a year.


    Nice of you to take the effort to go back 8 months and drag up an old thread though as one of the first few posts you made on the board. icon_lol.gif

    Sorry but maybe I am getting confused but isn't it common knowldege that he simply changed his username and continued on the this website?

    By the way I agree with your better things to do comment, so far today I have (although not much else beckons other than cooking a meal and enjoying a few glasses of wine in front of the box with my wife and dog)

    7.30am - Took the dog for a walk
    11am - 10km run (with the dog)
    3pm - 10km (different course) cycle (with the dog and wife)
    6pm - Badmington in the garden with the wife (dog in the huff on the patio)
    Is the dog worn out yet?:)

    Too easy !!!

    Me, FC, Chucknorris, Stevie J, Tomterm... just out of interest, who out of that list do you consider to be a 'bear'? Can't really see much bearish sentiment from us lot. Or was your post just randomly generated from your Generic Bear Insult Randomiser?

    I think I'm normally quite perceptive about this type of thing, but I didn't know that. Who is he then?

    Really???? If you call a discussion about whether or not the OP was banned "touching a nerve" I suggest you get out more.

    Something must have really hit a nerve with you that you would be so wound up by a few of the bears that you started a thread begging (on all fours) to have them banned because they were annoying you so much: :rotfl:

    Indeed, and I can't really see him coming back to debate with the likes of nollag.

    To be fair though Boomerangs, you're just Nollag in a strange, pessimistic, mirrored dimension.

    Also wondering what vino the dog goes for. Bit of a connoisseur?
