    But it's never short of people with big chips on their shoulders.....:p

    Nor is it short of posters who've called the recession wrong from start to finish. Big on talk, short on substance.

    !!!!!!?, NDG, Generali, your dear self would/ might have cost people a fortune if "anyone" had been reading "the quality" posts you all make.

    Stunningly poor quality predictions from the lot of these posters. Are they any less arrogant for the experience?

    Hey wintersunshine. Ever considered not posting here for a while and seeing if someone starts a thread to welcome you back?

    Please.....

    Maybe this is the point where we revert the conversation back to cake? As it was a page earlier?

    I just ate a really weird cake bar thing I bought in a hurry that I thought was a cereal bar type thing, and turned out to be mint-choc chip flavour. With raisins and things. Slightly addictive - which is good, as I bought a whole packet, but, ultimately, really quite disgusting.

    Shame there's no winter sunshine round here.

    I should post under the name Grey Day or something. :(

    Have you, or any of your buddies, ever thought of putting a financial health warning on your posts?

    Something simple like this

    "Warning - reading my posts could seriously damage your wealth"

    Too much sunshine here. 43C (109.3F) in the shade in the back yard on Sunday and I was doing a BBQ for 25 so standing by a hot grill. Now I understand why Aussies drink their beer so cold.

    That's exactly what they are, predictions, and some will be right, while others will be wrong. Most people understand that. We are all grown-ups here, and no one who is an adult should act entirely on the advice and predictons they see on an internet forum. We are all 100% responsible for what we choose.

    Isn't it still good to hear others' points of view, even when we don't agree?

    In my own case, I don't know what you are blathering on about. I STR'd, had a bloody hard time doing it, but came out of it with a property I'm more than happy with. However, even if it had been a total !!!!-up, I would have had no reason to blame anyone but myself.

    Oh, and another prediction; this recession isn't over yet.;)

    DH bought lardy cake at the weekend. Urgh. I'm plnning our cakes for Christmas party...I always revert to old favourites, but think about doing new things. I also can't decided what to send in to dh's office...last yearI did beautiful little biscuits, I was really proud of them, they were really pretty, it has to be robust for travel, whatever i make.

    Sorry, I forgot that - read about heatwave in Oz.

    I suppose there are worse things than grey days.

    No.

    Have you considered boiling your head?

    I don't really see your point. You pop up every few months, have a pop at everyone you can think of and disappear again. You don't add anything constructive, you just troll.

    Presumably you're a sock puppet for someone and TBH I don't give a tinker's cuss who. I have you on ignore and only read your posts on this thread because I am interested to see what people say about NDG, probably the most popular poster this board has had in my time.

    I await your spittle flecked invective with utter disinterest.

    Toodle pip!
