    You can smell the fear and desperation in that clown a mile away.

    The only thing I can smell is manure coming from you.:D
    And I agree with with Spamish, the high post count is a mix of desparation and obsession. That goes for both sides of course.
    It's a shame that a few nutters are ruining the debate and the forum in general.
    Should we create a subforum for reasonable people only?
    More bearish than bullish at the moment

    Prices stable or rising in 94% of the UK.

    Prices only falling in 6% of the UK.

    Prices up 10%, roughly £16,000, since last February.

    Asking prices up 3.2%, or £7000, in the last 30 days alone.....

    And we're now just a couple of weeks away from the start of the next spring bounce.


    So I can certainly see why you're losing the plot.:eek:

    But wait a minute..... you didn't actually believe any of that tripe over on hpc about 50% crashes and prices dropping to 3 times median income.....

    Did you?????

    You did?????

    Oh dear.......

    The situation that brought us crashing down was the sudden withdrawal of global wholesale bank funding. UK house prices and UK mortgage lending had absolutely nothing to do with it.

    UK mortgages did have something to do with it. What caused the global crash Hamish?

    Are you suggesting that the UK version of sub prime was not involved in global banking?

    correct - the sub-prime on the UK banks books had nothing to do with global crash and banks stopping lending to each other.

    i'd step away from the keyboard now big G - it's far too complicated for you...

    if you do think that UK sub prime or UK banks had something to do with it - which ABX, ABS issues or funds lost their values forcing the banks to stop lending?

    i'll leave it with you

    Please see the other thread where I put you straight whilst simultaneously abusing you for being a total idiot.

    Fwiw prices arent up noticeably in the areas I'm interested in buying. So you can save your smileys for the timebeing.

    For your information this is because I'm not buying a penthouse suite in Chelsea in competition with 3 oligarchs and a sovereign wealth fund.

    I assume you were one of those kids in school who could never really get the hang of mean and median.

    Edit - oh wait I forgot my new sig (to be sung in time to We are the Mods)

    So it did have a link, just not in that way.

    Thanks. Hamish proved wrong.

    no, it's you that looks to have it wrong - the UK banks issues had nothing to do with causing any global crash and neither did UK sub prime.

    as a cause of the global crisis, cracks emerged in the UK banks causing them issues.

    why do you think this?

    Is it just me or are the bullish posters sounding ever more desperate? IF what they say is true then fine, just chill out, everything will be OK. There's no need to be so shouty and so persistent in the 'message'. I heard you the first time, you think prices will rise. OK fine, whatever.
  • But those of us that are hoping for the situation to improve and house prices to soar LOVE to hear all the good news.

    I really enjoy Hamish's posts (until they resort to petty bickering). So to you and your kind I would say stop getting all hot and bothered. If he's right and you feel he's rubbing your face in it then stop reading and stop responding and he'll post a lot less. If he's wrong then time will tell - what do YOU gain by being so shouty and persistent about telling him he's wrong? If he is out to wind you up he's having a good laugh at your expense. Whereas you are getting angry, upset and not least wasting your precious time reading and responding to things you don't want to hear!!!

    Think about it. It's in your best interests to stay out of these threads and stick to reading and writing about the things you are interested in. The things that you enjoy whiling away your precious time over.
