    You wait until a house-price crash. Then it all gets reset...

    I never have b/p probs, like my dad i get told off cos it's too low (around 90 or 100/50) and i get told to take it easy. It's a bit up at the mo what with being fat, but when I lose weight it'll plummet again (probably 110/70 - 120/70) And then I'll have the joys of dizziness and having to get up like old ladies - in stages.

    Drink more water...eat more salt...watch "Election Messages"...

    They all get your blood-pressure up...

    ZTD, I ignore the election messages, I'll vote for who I want to, not who they try and tell me to.

    I finished a sleeve last night as well.

    They do. Though this will probably be the first time they will crash in nominal terms since the 20's - inflation has usually cloaked it up to now.

    Price to earnings is the important line.

    But if you listened to them, they'd surely pep your bloodpressure up?

    Just put a guard in front of the telly for when you throw things at it...
