    Optimists think we live in the best possible world. Pessimists know we do.
    the pessimist always moans and complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist just adjusts the sails and doesn't put his life on hold

    never mind but feel free to try again.


    Have you been bored for the last few days? You seem to have been following me round on the board in order to nitpick.

    Feel free, if it makes you happy!

    House prices have fallen by 3.6% according to one measure but it's ok because it's just noise. Having said the the noise might be that of the UK's housing markets crashing. Or it might be the eerie silence of stagnation.

    Hard to say which really, hence 500 odd posts. Someone made a good point around the 180 mark that you should look out for. Or was it 380? I can't remember.

    Snooze, the crash hasn't stated it is a "Blip".

    Yes. So not much thought needed. Next question?

    I thought lots of people in the legal profession had lost their jobs in this recession? But you and yours are unaffected apparently! I would put up a LINK about how the legal profession has been affected by the recession but there are just too many. Google the Legal Profession + recession and see for yourself - since it's apparently passed you by.

    However, it is the internet, so not much thought is needed to work out that one should take what ALL posters say with a pinch of salt..... maybe your a bored housewife just like carolt? The internet's full of them, don't ya know hun?!
