    *sigh*

    I don't know why I bother, but.....

    a) Prices have risen in Aberdeen since I bought.
    b) Prices in Aberdeen are now back to within just 1% of August 2007, and up 4% on August 2008
    c) I don't own a BTL
    d)Renting in the meantime would have cost £25K plus...
    e)Mortgage interest in the meantime has cost me less than £10K....
    f) An idiot would see that almost anyone buying in 2007 in Aberdeen is tens of thousands ahead of a renter for the same time period. Why can't you?

    Indeed -*sigh*

    Hamish - PLEASE explain in detail why you have got this massive OCD on high house prices. Most people - owners or non owners really couldnt give two sh*ts wether its gone up 2.5321512345% in the last few weeks so why have you got such a HUGE vested interest.

    Its creepy Hamish, really creepy.

    Maybe he has nothing else to do all day expect sound out articles pointing at a 1% rise or a bear on hpc having second thoughts. Then again maybe he works for the Nationwide

    He's probably employed to Gordon McBoomBust as a spy.

    Best defence. I'm alright Jack. So don't understand what is happening in the wider market. :rolleyes:

    Erm, he wasn't talking about the wider market, he was responding to skap about his personal situation :confused:

    True. He obviously has severe personal problems.

    He should share them.

    We'd all love to [STRIKE]laugh[/STRIKE] help. :)

    You really are a piece of work carlot.

    Happy to go around dishing out personal abuse, but have a record of claiming you get bullied on here.

    Strange.

    Hello pot meet kettle.
    He should share them.

    Ok then..... I have a weakness. I absolutely love winning debates, arguing with idiots and being proved right.

    Like just happened with house prices. (see sig)

    What's your excuse though?

    Because liking to argue AND being proved wrong repeatedly must be no fun at all.....:confused:

    The day I would need help from a teacher that doesn't know how to spell the word "of" is the day hell will freeze over.

    But thanks for caring and all.....:rotfl:

    I feel sorry for the kids she teaches, not going to have the best start in life, are they.

    I guess Carolt is just very bitter about having to live in someone elses house.

    I've spent some time on this forum, what with 30k posts.

    But this is some of the most childish, immature, patheticness I think I have seen on here, or indeed, any other forum. :(
