The bulls aren`t coming out to play.

They give it "the large one" when there is a scrap of HPI news, and I witness plenty of response from the bears. Now there`s a fairly sustained amount of -HPI, the bulls have gone quiet.

That`s the worst aspect of house price falls, there`s no McLavish, Snivelly or Ghouls to play with.

    I think you've come to the wrong place. If it's childish internet smacktalk you want, 4chan is ----> that way [nsfw].

    I note that Hamish is online. No doubt he is perusing the Debt-Free Wannabee forum.

    Funny I though the GDP thread seemed to be the exact opposite.;)

    Perhaps people have got better things to do than argue how much house prices have stagnated in 2010. :)

    Not only that, you just thanked one of my posts in the Nationwide thread.

    So you also know I'm posting.

    Which makes this thread a bit redundant really.....

    Yeah, but it was a very tame post.

    You give it :beer: every time your house(s) go up in price, or there is a +HPI headline. It`s my round now, what you `aving ? (I know, a bad day ;)).

    As we speak Sleazy Sibley is shacked up with a couple of ladyboys so he's otherwise engaged. I'm sure he'll be back online later though.


    Why has it got to be ladyboys then?

    That's what you want not me. I'm happy with women and believe me I'm fighting them off with a sharp stick here. :rotfl:

    It is the bears right today to give it out. Fair play. It's true. Any rises get the treatment and bulls must take their bumps.

    I'm in a right good mood today. Bought my lovely doggie home.

    I suppose that will twist you up Gloomy. You can't own a dog unless somebody like me gives you permission.:rotfl:

    You say you`re fighting off the women, yet you bought a dog home.
