    Then why keep trying to convince everyone else, if I thought I'd bought a house and made the right decision, I wouldn't give a toss what others thought on a forum, in fact I wouldn't even be here discussing the issues. Despite what you might protest..... you are a worried man, the evidence is there in every post you continue to make.

    :rotfl: OK then.....

    Show me where in this thread I started the discussion of my property holdings. Oh, thats right, I didn't.....:rolleyes:

    The fact that you keep mentioning it only shows how desperate you are getting now things are recovering.

    You really are full of it McTwatish.

    If prices are, rising why don't you take advantage, buy another and make some nice capital gains?

    I would suggest that you cannot get the finance because you have no equity or money.

    That is why you are hoping for HPI to rescue you.

    Do you suffer with tourette syndrome?

    Your first name's not Hamish, by any chance, is it?

    Ahhhh, I see. Yes, that must be it.:rolleyes:

    I have no need to buy more houses. I have plenty of equity and cash, but I still don't need another house. Particularly given the fact that prices here have fallen very little from peak, so "bargains" are not really available.

    Why is this a hard concept for you to grasp?

    Rather proud, just occurred to me that we are all bullfighting.

    Does that make us matadors? :D


    I think that's quite good for a Sunday afternoon.

    All my own idea.

    Oh, I am soooo bored.....

    Yes.

    Wow, but you're smart.

    Did you like my joke?

    Has that dull Hamish person gone away, now?

    You might be, if I was squirming.;)

    But in fact I'm just sitting here being annoyingly smug about how much prices have risen since February, and how much more it would cost you to buy one now than then....:D

    No, you're just being annoying.

    I thought you'd gone.

    What a shame.
