I have been thinking about the whole Ad PPR thingy.
It really shouldn't be that difficult. Make a user name and dont use it on this part of the board.
Post in the Arms or where ever for a couple of weeks, keep running the nonsense names along side. Then stumble across this board with a decent post count under your belt.

If ad wanted to stay on here discretely with a new ID, I'm sure he could do so..... Just power down the adsl modem to get a new IP address, clear the cookies and cache, change the mac address on the network, and if all else fails buy a 3G card to get a new ISP. Or just save yourself the effort and browse through an anonymiser.
My guess is that he's making a point and playing a game with the site by announcing himself.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

It is brilliant how excited people get over house prices - almost fanatical in devotion to one side or the other. I wonder what % of MSEers would think we had just been through a housing bubble? What % think they are more attractive than their next door neighbour? What % have heard of QE?
You confuse me Mr Mewbs. Sometimes you can come across as very caring and thoughtful and other times as quite cutting.You will learn far more from a speech by the commentator who predicted the last crash, Muriel Houdini, than any of this nonsense.
Any relation to Harry?
In all seriousness I think predicting where house prices go nowadays is a bit like predicting the stock market - pretty pointless. Up one day (month) and down the next day (month). Someone's right, someone's wrong.
By the way, sorry for the Harry joke. Quite lame really, but I can't be ar*ed to think of anything else after a bottle of wine.0 -

I'm reacting to all of that with emotions based around confusion and suspicion.0 -
It might be the wine, but that's gone right over my head. I've thanked it anyway, just in case it was a very trendy, timely, comedic reference that has somehow passed me by.
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit young man. I suspect you're a nightmare for your wife.
