    Yes, but you can't because they banned you for being a troll. Get over it.

    Actually I've just been banned from there. Not quite sure when it was, because I rarely post there these days. I've been a member on there nearly six years. I really don't know why I got banned (shrugs) I looked at my posts and in the last one I'd chided Realistbear, for saying prices had dropped 20% 'down his way' in Sussex :rotfl:I pointed out this just wasn't true, looks like that's what's dun it!

    Anyway I had the last laugh. I couldn't change anything on my profile except my name, so changed it to Realistbearsaw*nker, then found a thread he'd started (and was posting on) and left myself as 'viewing it' Lasted a whole two hours before being removed:D Childish (I know) but at least I feel better :)

    I really don't understand how anyone could justify spending that sort of money on a house.

    That was my first thought too :)

    My second was to be grateful I don't have to clean it.

    Thinking more as a housewife, the responsibility of being head of a chain of employment of over 600 people is no more restful. Its obvious a team would be needed practically, and required for the same purposes a ''home'' of that scale is.

    No they ban anyone who doesn't doesn't agree with message the Mods want to put out.

    I have a mind of my own. I'm a leader not a follower like yourself.

How could you be so inhuman as to not feel guilty at living in such a ridiculously extravagent house when people within a few miles are in desperate need for basic human needs? I actually find it utterly, utterly immoral.

    Because thats the state of the world we live in now.

    Why should (for example) all these sheiks and the likes of Shell & BP make billions from basically rap1ng the hell out of the planet.

    Oh well, I bet he's not too concerned with the 1 person who dies every 3.5 sconds from starvation (source - United Nations)... Who really needs this amount of money and extravagance !!!!!!?

    Totally agree with Toby3000

    I've been to Mumbai, and this sort of extravagance sickens me compared to the horrendous level of poverty in the city and throughout India.

    Don't get me started on the Indian space programme, when elderly people have to beg in the street so they can live.
