    "Crumbling Piles of Bricks"

    An expression often used by housing bears to describe houses. Obviously intended to be derogatory and dismissive.

    What's your definition of often mate?

    has any-one seen the prince 2day


    Very briefly.

    His contribution was poor. Understandable under the circumstances.

    Hamish would be an interesting subject for a psychological study. Never have I seen one poster so one-dimensionally obsessed with one subject, even to the point of spinning immigration issues around to the notion of supporting house studies.

    Sibley is quite hooked on his ladyboys, and asheron has a fixation with i) the end of the world ii) muslims taking over the world (though he doesn't say which comes first).

    your a funny chap hameesh. you start a debate and then dont contrebute. i just cant work you out

    Let me help.

    Hamish didn`t start a debate, that`s why he didn`t contribute.

    With a lack of "aberdeen house prices have gone up again" headlines, and the recent -HPI headlines, he simply plucked something out of the air and posted it.

    Despite our differing views and opinions, I used to think that Hamish was a bull of reasonable pedigree. I`m not so sure now.

    gr8 point m8

    He`s even called for a stop to childish name calling. I think he`s asking me to stop "having a pop". I don`t think I name call, and if I do, I keep it reasonably polite.

    ive never known you to be any-thing but polite m8. not sure i can say same for hameesh though

    rewired thanked you for that post, I`m sure if he/she had a working keyboard, (s)he`d also say that I was polite. Hey, rewired, if you think I`m polite, please thank me for this post.

    Also, rewired, if you want a new keyboard, why not send Santa an email asking for one for Christmas ?

    Oh, there seems to be a flaw in that idea. :doh:
