    i wouldn't worry HP - i've got the attention of all the other losers on another thread.

    even the professor of devonian economic theory - GD has popped up telling me i don't understand...

    oh the irony...

    I don't need to tell you you don't understand, which is why I never did.

    Which part of this...
    You ever ask yourself why SO many people seem unable to understand your posts? A tenth of your posts must be made up of telling other people they don't understand... no matter what the subject.

    ...is telling YOU you don't understand?

    As I said, no need for me to tell you you don't understand, you do a grand job of that yourself :)

    What a lovely thread. I particularly like phrases like:

    "a second leg of the house price correction soon.".
    you mean
    "our long-held position that we will see a second leg of the house price correction soon"

    How long have they been expecting it to be "soon" ?

    Graham Devon, you are an unmitigated genius!!!!

    I could read your stuff for hours and hours (and often have to ;)) to see the way you go off on tangeants, introduce pointless data and arguments, pretend to be stupid to fill a thread up with your opponent's explanations then exasperations as you continue to pretend not to understand the most basic thing. The way you quote back something your opponent has said from the past, knowing full well that s/he said no such thing, but pretending anyway just to cause even more confusion and exasperation.

    No wonder you have 30,000 MSE posts, it takes a lot of work to develop this sort of genius! Good on yer mate, wreck those threads, fill em up with nonsense!!!

    no it's 'effect' or is it 'affect' - oooops no you never did say that did you

    let it go - you're not the brightest. just let it go.

    you're skill at changing the tangent of the discussion just becuase you've said something stupid is just, just incredible.

    keep it up!!!

    A separate house price index by LSL Property Services suggested buyers are taking advantage of lower prices with the number of properties sold up 20 per cent to 63,500 in June, from almost 53,000 the previous month.

    Volume up 20%..... Interesting.

    isn't "long-held" and "soon" an oxymoron?

    Thanks Harry. And I know.

    That's about the 40th time you have typed the same thing. It's kind of sunk in now.

    Seeing as how it came from Capital Economics, at least since 2002.
