    Chucky I think you might have got your threads mixed up! As you have quoted both Mr Brown and mewbie, two different posters, people might get confused and think they are the same person.

    Mewbie isn't around any more. He's over in Bulgaria looking after 7 flats that he's bought and is in the process of painting them white before renting out. I had a postcard from him the other week as he hasn't got the internet set up at his new place yet. Seems to be pretty happy but was having some trouble working out his sums on the yield. He had originally based his plans on an 18% yearly income, but turns out he put a zero in the wrong place and it's actually 1.8%. Still, as he said, a profit is a profit.

    Ne sãm te viždal mnogo vreme, as one might say.

    Could it just be that he changed his mind based on variable factors? Nothing really wrong with that.

    Absolutely. Indeed I welcome such behaviour. Alas to my mind geoffky posted in a manner which allowed no room for compromise on his predictions. He was (and probably/perhaps still is) IMO a poster who dismissed all contradictory evidence to his point without the courtesy of any reasoned debate.

    All that said, either something has changed his mind, or as has been suggested before, it wasn't so much a belief as a wish for the future.

    I'll just point out that I am not responding to tittle-tattle.

    Blimey, the things people drag up. This is the last place I am going to come clean about my homosexuality that's for sure.

    Hey get off Mr Brown's keyboard you! It's rude to jump into someone's pc seat while they have temporarily left the room, mewbie would have never typed that, he was a sucker for tittle-tattle
