    Careful, you might end up as the subject of a 'another Bear bites the dust' thread!

    I'd advise you to hold on because with the election and other stuff, house prices will be falling a further 30%. Instead of getting this non-cottage house, you'd be looking at a chocolate box style thatched cottage!!!

    Timberrrrrrrr!! :rotfl:

    It seems to me that it's a bit off to pursue a private vendetta on a thread created by a non-regular who came here asking for advice (however misguided that may have been on this particular forum). There are plenty of "I hate this particular poster" threads available for you to have a go at your blood enemy without fouling up someone's cry for help thread.

    IMHO.


    Pot, kettle, black. How did your first post on the thread help the OP?

    Don't waste your time. There will always be mugs, just don't be one.

    Your friends are quite clearly unable to make their own life decisions and must be taken in hand. Are they driving the most sensible cars? Be sure to do their shopping so they eat the right food. You could buy their cinema tickets in case they want to watch anything too scary. Are they in the correct jobs? Start applying for better ones on their behalf. And don't forget to supply whichever toilet paper you think best for their needs.

    If you discussed my life like this online you would be an ex-friend.
