    Whats your forecast, and whats your reasoning?

    Been through this a million times.

    I'm not going to spout the same stuff on every single thread you create.

    You then simply ignore any reasoning in the debate I give (most recently you ignore absolutely anything I say about how prices were actually afforded, i..e easy credit and anything i say on the 70% ownership stuff).

    By the time I have explained stuff you have asked people to explain, and they do, which surprises you, you have started a new thread about HPI rising.

  • What more can I say..... Perfectly encapsulates the arguments those of a more positive disposition have been making all year, and we have been right so far.

    It's mad to think there are 10's of grammatical errors in this thread alone, then someone attacks me for a spelling mistake. :P

    Has this board come to this?

    Actually I do find it sppoky that this guy is saying the exact same stuff as you Hamish, are you Geoffreys MSE alias?

    I'm absolutely delighted that a noted economist has come out and written an article for The Times that pretty much copies everything I've been saying for months.

    And no, I'm not Geoffrey. Although I suspect many of our more bearish posters would use his second name in referring to me on a regular basis.....;)

    even better create a script that spiders the site and checks the timings for certain users all for you ;)

    i've been very bored at work and getting paid for learning to do stuff like that is most beneficial :D
