    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.....

    If it`s redundant, why are there replies since yours (and not just ones from myself).

    In fact chuckles and snivelly have both made posts.

    Come on Hamish, don`t be a spoil sport.

    forget the facts - debating is pointless.

    Then why do you do so much mass-debating on this Forum, Chuncky? ;)

    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.

    Strange isn't it? It's like you all need each other to survive.

    Yep.

    Opposites attract, and all that.

  • Quality thread.

    Much higher than the average standard of bollox that gets put up on here.

    (Inspector Monkfish is excluded from my generalisations because his are in another league altogether).

    It's really interesting that you see the 'bulls' and 'bears' on this site as opposites. I always consider them very similar types of people in terms of their style, agenda, personalities, postings etc.

    OK, I`m confused. Quality or redundant ?

    Obviously if McTwavish is not around then the GHOULS fictional character will not be either...

    A very good point.

    If Ghouls = Hamish, then he`s doing a pretty good job of creating an alter-ego.
