    Again so easily confused. you;ll see I've stopped discussing facts with you
    I really do feel for how it must be to be Geneer.
    I don't think about it too long, it's disturbing.

    Again your confused, it's you that's pooring your love and affection out to another man.
    Nevermind, if it keeps you happy then keep firing away.
    I'm just glad I don;t know you in real life, else I would be worried.

    ISTL this can only end in something bad if previous experience is anything to go by - I would give it up. He likes to try and get under your skin but when you undermine his housing arguments (VERY easy to do) he descends into a pit of despair and thrashes out in all directions.

    It's not a problem Pimperne1.
    There's no way in the world that geneer will get under my skin.
    He's just like a little boy who's desperate for attention and I'm just letting him get it all off his chest.

    You ever seen the occasion when someone goes on and on and just doesn't stop and the pther person just nods and says "yes whatever"? I'm the person with the through way valve in my head letting little geneer exhaust himself without anything taking merit.

    It's actually a compliment when you think about it.
    He doesn;t like it when the facts are shown and goes around biting at your ankles with childish antics.

    He only so bothered if because we were correct and prooved him wrong.

    I can be a stubborn bar steward at times and this instance will keep going until he becomes bored and moves on or the mods realise there is no discussion here and sticks / deleted the thread.
    Hmmmmm, maybe that's his plan, to get the thread deleted, thus taking away the clears facts that have been shown in the thread. Maybe he's more cunning than I gave him credit for. But what the hey, we all know the truth and if he needs to hide it to feel better then so be it.

    Typed I'veSeenTheLight after angrily advising that he has A WIFE, HE HAS KIDS, HE LOVES HIS WIFE AND KIDS AND IS IN ABSOLUTELY NO WAY INTERESTED IN MEN, despite no one having suggested the same. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Typed IveSeenTheLight in a desperate bid to justify his own unintentionally hilarious compulsions. :p

    You keep mentioning these "facts" sweetie.
    But they've yet to make an appearance.
    I don't mind though.
    Mindless repetition can be forgiven in nervous flirting.

    Ah Lighty talk about mixed messages. Looking back its perfectly clear who's been making a pass at who.
    Oh, how I remember those nervous glances you threw my way as you giddily compiled textwall after textwall of meaningless ROS comparions.

    Ah Lighty. How could I not be flattered.

    Being a gentleman, I felt it was important to let you down easy. I mean its not easy to put yourself out there.

    Ah you do care! :D

    But lighty, babes, we've been through this.
    The Q4 2005 figure is meaningless, its not october, and theres leading indicators which demonstrate, very clearly where prices are heading.

    ESPC Q2 2006 Edinburgh Average Price = £200795.
    ESPC Nov 2010. Edinburgh Average Price = £215173.
    ESPC Nov 2010: "During the first half of the year we saw the average house price in Edinburgh rising but the increases in the average were largely due to a comparatively high number of larger properties selling...early next year we’ll see prices in Edinburgh come back down to levels seen at the start of 2010, when the average house price stood at between £195,000 and £200,000"

    Given that I'm fairly certain £195000 - £200795 isn't a "£60K loss", I think you probably mean...
