    Jeeze, guys, give the poor moderators a break. Only report a thread once, not dozens of times, and have a little bit of common sence. At this rate, we're not going to have any smilies left. And why all the sockpupets reporting abuse anyway, it's not like the original poster making these abuse reports were banned, is it?
    earth calling tomterm, earth calling tomterm.... :j

    i doubt anyone reported them - it was just a bit of humour insertion me old china :)

    Didn't you get the memo? Humour was banned months ago. That's why they got rid of Mewbie.

    I'm hoping the reporting stuff is a joke...surely?

    Self absorbed 1984...yeah, you know, I hate to admit it but I am. :o There is something a little Oscar Wilde-ish about admitting self interest :o:o

    There are some great contributors (we all know who they are) but often their posts are lost in the storm of nonsensical postings. Indeed, some have already left, possibly due to this fact, and the remainder seem to be posting less frequently.

    It's a shame.

    So how is a move to discussion time going to illuminate their postings (where has that confused smiley gone?).

    If I ever ran into debt problems, I suppose I might have to flog off one of my Buy To Lets - they are already up 15% in value since I bought them in May


    :T

    ... and rising !!

    :rotfl:

    Really?

    As of course that is fact, nollag, we'd like to see the proof.

    Links incl sold prices.

    As obviously you only know they've gone up that much if they've sold.

    So go on then - there's absolutely no way a poster with such integrity as yourself would make this lot up. :p

    ....Of course if they'd used a dear little chap, like this one, they'd have had no need to ban it:confused-smiley-007.gif

  • How was that smiley deemed aggressive? I find this one :money:much more intimidating :p


    I take the OP point as basically true mostly because the situation is confused, no one absolute will describe it.
    The housing market resembles the old supermarket trick of reducing packet sizes along with prices. Theres no denying its cheaper but its also more expensive to buy.
