    You still here donaldtramp?
    Still spouting rubbish and dismissing genuine facts.

    If you believe with such verocity that Aberdeen is TOAST. Why don't you go by your convictions and you choose to still live there

    Thought not!

    TOAST..

    You really are one sad, bitter and angry little renter.

    Aberdeen up around £20,000 in just 12 months. :D:D:D:D

    So much for daddytroll and rosa luxembitter.:rotfl:

    Keep enjoying your delusions. When the oil runs out Aberdeen is TOAST. There is no money in sheep.
    Even the sheep don't want to be there. It really is a desperate place.

    What? Have you ever been there? To walk along the Don of an evening, maybe ending up in a pleasant taverna serving a refreshing GlenToddy and lime, and then back through the Old Town with it's ancient cobbled streets and perhaps a tantalising glimpse of Hadrians wall - it's as close to Heaven as you will get in the Sceptred Isles. I certainly feel a lifting of the spirts, and yes, even around the sporranal area, when ever I return to my natural home among the Macavity clan.

    Aberdeen is TOAST. .

    Not before next weekend please. I am going on there on a weekend break.

    The latest release from the Register of Scotland Executive Agency
    http://www.ros.gov.uk/pdfs/local%20authorities%20mar%202010.pdf

    Aberdeen Mar 10 = £169,607 and not £165,307 as per your flash data or even the lower figures you announced (£157,994).

    The 'flash' data's not mine, it the ROSEAs.

    Anyhow, thanks for the info. Have you updated your graph? I saw these elsewhere and thought they might add to the debate:

    Genuine only, it seems, in 2 peoples minds with nothing better than sitting on a board and discussing house prices in Aberdeen all their lives.

    I like Aberdeen, and will continue to like Aberdeen right up until the oil runs out...
    Then I'm off, along with the rest of the population of the city.

    Anyhoo, Got to go. I've got a life to get back to....

    Is Aberdeen really so valuable that it merits so much more comment on MSE than, say, discussions about Accrington? Or Heckmondwike?

    Perhaps Aberdeen should be acquired as a national asset. Then whichever government gets in can borrow against it as well.

    Awwwwwwww, trying to obfuscate the issue with irrelevancies.

    How cute.

    Funnily enough, I saw these at the same place and thought them an appropriate response.

    Both monthly and quarterly RoS up massively Year on Year.......

    And the graphs were particularly interesting. I much preferred the burgundy bar chart of prices..... much more relevant and interesting than your spidery looking blue line chart of volumes.

    Clearer and more concise, dontcha think?;)

    If your referring to me as one of them, I simply provide factual data when others provide incorrect data

    Guess you'll have a happy retirement then since you like Aberdeen ;)
