    The vikings were nordic . The english just ran away coz they trembled at men in skirts .. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmm kilts :j

    Whats wrong with a man in a skirt? Thats racism towards the Scottish and their odd traditions. Look how cross dressing has accelerated in the last few hundred years, we have alot to thank the Scottish for.

    I just think Hamish might have a bee in his bonnet still about loosing the battle of Falkirk.

    All these threads about racism are boring me.

    If there's a racist comment, report it.

    Don't start a new thread on it.

    Whatever.

    I'm just stating that our current batch of board racists are thicker than pigsh1t... and doing so in a way that probably won't get deleted for being off topic in the first 30 seconds.

    right. it might have been better to have just said that.

    by a similar* token, do your repeated claims that falling house prices are bad for the economeh in fact just mean that you're currently observing lots of falling house prices?



    * - ish.
    FACT.

    I think Boris Johnson said it best, when just this month he said.....

    "The notional assets of banks still depend on housing stocks whose value has yet to be tested, and if the housing market tanks, then the financial system tanks, too."

    That any sigificant crash of the housing market will also cripple the financial system and then wider economy is widely accepted.
