    Not really name. If you don't want to be accused of trolling then don't act like a troll.

    You posted nothing of substance in 3 posts but looking for responses. That's trolling I reckon.

    Anyway, nice putting you back in your box. Goodnight!:rotfl:

    Night :wave: Come back when you have something of substance to say hun and you don't have to resort to name calling:T

    I don't think you're wrong there.
    yet another tool that doesn't have the brain power to reply to the comments that Laura raised about the coalition talking down the economy in the article she posted

    lol

    just because people have a different view to you it doesn't mean they're all the same person.

    is this your usual tactic where someone makes points again the coalition govt and you get all nervous and try to distract the actual point that they were making?

    i think it is... is it because you can't reply to the comments that Laura raised about the coalition talking down the economy in the article she posted...

    Sad hey? Do you think they've gone?

    I expected abit more to be honest.....

    Edit - well I can't sit here all day waiting for Generali or Wookster to come back with some reasoned arguments, must go and do some work.

    Bye

    Brain power or just actually looking at what is going on in the country? If 'she' wants a discussion about politics, then perhaps 'she' should post on an appropriate thread/forum about politics and policies.
    I thought more highly of you and your posts previously as you seemed and purveyed to actually understand what you were talking about.
    I'm not here to start an argument but this person, and the style they write in, is very very similar to other, more maturer members ho frequent this site and this forum in particular.
    I have no objection to people having their own view, but it would nice if it was theirs and not their alto-ego.

    it's usually like the unofficial tory forum on here, you're only allowed to say nice things about the oh so perfect coalition government.

    it's all fine though, wookster only embarrasses himself with his Nick Clegg and David Cameron mancrush

    Oh please! How old are you?

    As I said I'm off - I'll go and find someone who's prepared to engage in a proper discussion.

    By the way you won't make good financial decisions if you have a closed mind.

    well if you're going to be able accuse me of having a split personality i'm sure you'll be able to understand my reply.

    i agree with her point in the article below as i said in a previous post

    if you think because i agree with her i'm her alter-ego. good on you. well done.

    but you've still failed to reply to the comments that the coalition government are talking down the economy even worse than the mess actually is.

    Back on topic, the parents of one of my colleagues complain that the winter fuel allowance doesn't quite cover the cost of heating their pool each summer...

    No, actually I know your not her alto-ego and I apologise if I insinuated that you were.

    I believe that we would go in this direction whatever government was in power, as I stated before. We are still up s$$t creak without a paddle and that we, as individuals, were as much to blame as the government and the banks.

    With regards to the politicians being wrong about the countries finances - yes they probably are but in the opposite directions. In ten - fifteen years time, we'll find out really how close this country came to bankruptcy but until them we'll only hear what the politicians want us to hear and what the media want us to hear.
