    With the recent boom in house prices is anyone putting off or dreading an up coming dinner party engagement for fear they end up sitting beside a repetitious, interminable bull endlessly gasconading about the price of their slavebox? :rolleyes:


    Not in the least, I'm far too selective about who I dine with to encounter such bores.

    Nah, at the dinner parties I go to there's far too much going on for conversation to get in the way ;)

    nice one, but a little disgusting when you think that it would be mostly men doing the shouting..... all around the land in the bookies..... :sick:

    Unless you were to only run on ladies day at Ascot ;)

    Boom? What Boom?:confused:

    All we've seen so far is a reversion to mean....

    The boom hasn't started yet.;)

    You've gone too far now Really2

    Did we really need to have a specific name and even worse the picture in order to graphically make the point.

    I'm in danger now of being carted off to jail if I ever hear of a horse named "on my face"
    I'd likely go out and get a gun to make sure the poor thing was put down before the horse could get to the starting point and this tragic event could ever happen.

    Hope I don't have nightmares now
