    Please bother to read a single post I have posted before attempting to comment.

    Read my last 2 posts and then apologize.

    What a ridiculous post - abundantly clear that you haven't even looked at the previous posts before mouthing off.

    What size font would you like to ensure you actually read responses first?

    Really has made all your points before and I have pointed out twice (once in capitals!!!) why they are nonsense.

    Oh well, I tried to explain in language you'd understand. It's not my fault you don't get it.

    No you have not, all you have done is point out they expect real term falls (which I know) you still are failing to see what the difference between nominal and "real term" price falls are.

    Who cares about all this fluff. I'm not getting it either apparently. Funny that. Same old people you target suddenly don't get it....again.

    Or don't get what you want to state today maybe to suit your theory?

    House prices....the ones WE ALL talk about on here, are predicted to fall. That's as simple as it gets. That's what RICS have said.

    Never did I see so much fuss when they said they were going to rise....was nominal, real terms, bananas, all this jazz bought in then? Of course not.

    Fact is, you, and some others don't like the falls part, so are merely going round trying to confuse the issue and talk about house prices, the way we have ALWAYS talked about them in a completely different vein, adding in various bits to somehow show it aint actually a fall.

    Well, in line with how we have ALWAYS discussed house prices, it's a fall. Simple as that. No matter how many points you now want to add to the pot to try and show different, and no matter how many names and rubbish you come out with. :)

    The graphs....the BBC ones, the land registry ones, the ones that have been used to support the rises....THEY will show falls if the predictions are correct....

    Sorry, but some / most of us, are still talking about prices in the same way we always have done, and will continue to do so.

    The house price charts, all the graphs, all the articles used by the media will not show any of the stuff you are now spouting off about.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH.


    Nominal and "Real Term" are not my theory. I would be a worried man if it had only just been theorised by me.

    I can't help it if I understand the difference.

    I wonder if she loses her temper this way with her kids? I bet they're always 'walking into cupboard doors' or 'falling down stairs'.
    I think sir you should withdraw that comment and think more carefully in future about what you post and why you post it. There's a line surely for most people which isn't crossed on here, regardless of how upset we might be that house prices are going up or down.

    Evil happens when good men look away. I will need proof before I retract. A doctor's statement perhaps?

    You do realise, the more I see this, and the more chucky and the gang thank it, the more I know I'm getting on your nerves?

    The more I realise you can't simply debate properly to the points raised. The more I realise that to be thanking this, lets face it, overdone none point, the more I realise it's not me loosing the debate here. Especially considering any time carol throws you a point you, chucky, joe, really etc can't respond to, out comes the sexual allegations and child abuse lines.

    You can of course, and probably will say, what you like....probably somethng you have already said 23 times. But to be posting that after nearly every post I make just makes you, and those thanking it, lost for anything else to say in response to the deate.

    And considering you must have posted this at least 10 times in the last 48 hours, I'm quite honoured.

    I don't want to be some kind of moral crusader. Just think that the usual banter is probably OK (ish), but there are areas where none of us should go. Other people's children being one of those area, but also perhaps people's partners and parents. An active, joky, debating forum is a good thing - but an area full of spite and personal vendettas is not. It's also, to people looking in, uninteresting nonsense.
