Comedy Gold: Crashaholics invade MSE looking for someone to argue with....

So having orchestrated "the great banning of the bulls", a certain other forum now finds many of it's most prolific posters spending more time over here arguing with us than over there slapping each other on the back.
And the ones that remain seem to start as many threads linking to MSE as they do about house prices.
Priceless.

Almost as priceless as the complete irony of the post.
P.S. Nice to see you giving advice over on the house buying board Hamish

Hey, you know me, always the helpful and caring type.:D“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I was a bit disappointed on viewing this thread. Comedy Gold was the title and it intrigued me and caused my mouse to move a little faster than usual. What Gold could this be, I wondered? Perhaps one of those Internet 'jokes', the long winded ones that do the rounds much like the badly photocopied ones used to in the office, or maybe a link to a cat organ on Youtube? Perhaps just a personal, but witty, attack on a fellow member for either buying or not buying a house. Always funny, and always worth a thankyou.
But no. It was none of those things. So I guess its up to me.
How many HPCers does it take to change a light bulb?

Oh, let's be honest..... You weren't banned.
They just ignored you, so you came back here.....:p“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I actually started off on there, many years ago. I already used to enjoy myself on forums and thought it might be fun to indulge in a little banter. Nothing. Not a response. Just endless boring banging on about, well, er, house prices. I did about four posts and gave up on forums. Then a little bird told me of a wonderful place, full of like minded people, where the art of punning was seen as the highest of endeavours, a place where a free spirit would be made welcome.HAMISH_MCTAVISH wrote: »Oh, let's be honest.....

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I couldn't find it so I came here instead.0 -
