    I'veseenthe-lite has just utterly fabricated some kind of lala justification based on the premise that the Registers of Scotland changes the date of when they release their statistics based on how busy they are that month!

    5 star Comedy gold!

    Oh pimp, and you gave this your stamp of approval. :D

    Thanks for the late xmas pressie girls!

    No but really, Q2 2006, when you stumbled over that little ruse a couple of months ago I didn't believe even you thought you could get away with it (turns out it is only you that thinks you can). :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Anyway, you've got me beaten hands down so I need to ignore you for a little while. ;)

    Nope, I initially was referring to LR which used to have a three month lag and now seems to be able to issue with only a 1 month lag.

    Still, seems to have got you hot and bothered. Is it cause it's the truth?

    Thats why you're just another one of Geneer's Gals!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    LOL, you wish.

    Another fact which you seem to gloss over and ignore is the fact I've pointed out I'm a man, therefore I cannot be one of your "gals"

    I see the trend here, you don't like facts and fabricate them to be whatever your hearts desire.

    All the best for 2011, I hope you get all your dreams (but you won't be getting me sorry)

    You really, really, really are wasting your time. After you have discredited his argument (not hard to do - he is recognised on most sites as the most deluded loser around) he will come back with something like "Well I think we all know who won that argument" and loads of smiley faces. You would have a more interesting time trying to dissect the argument of someone who had a leg to stand on.

    It is so funny, 6 months to show the actual months figures.
    I guess the seasonal adjustment is made to show that the busiest months are the winter months and the slowest months are the spring / autumn months.

    You couldn't make it up, well geneer could ;)

    I know, I know. I can be a stubborn bar steward at times.

    As you know the facts are there for everyone to assess for themselves.
    I'm not the one trying to show it as something other than what it is.

    noone seems to be grasping the fact that geneer hasn't lost anything until he makes a decision to buy a house. Only then can you say if he's lost/gained money by waiting.
    Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

    Absolutely agree with you.
    Certainly so far it would be hard to say that financially it was a wise move given prices are nominally higher than they were 5 years ago and that there is also 5 years rent to consider.

    There's nothing wrong with waiting until your circumstances are better.
    There's nothing wrong with choosing to rent and not to buy if that's your choice.

    Everyone has individual needs and outlooks.

    What cannot be done is claim moral victory over a financial decision that so far has proven not to be correct.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Oh dear!
    Pimp, are you sure you want to ally yourself with this genius? :D

    Thats right mate. Its me who's all hot and bothered!
    That'll be why you keep spaming the forum with irrelevant ROS stats.
    That'll be why I've popped back to find you in an alice-bot overdrive.

    The lady doth protest too much.
    LOL, you wish.

    Yes. I remember. You're a big strapping MAN who definitely doesn't like OTHER MEN, who has a WIFE and KID and LOVES HIS WIFE AND KID AND NOT MEN!

    But if it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, and conforms exactly to a predefined stereotype like a predictable laughable duck, its a duck.

    Obviously, when I say duck, I mean one of Geneers Gals.
    Which you clearly are. :D
    I see the trend here, you don't like facts and fabricate them to be whatever your hearts desire.
    Oh yes. I forgot. Because the ROS release their stats on different time tables depending on how busy they are, and you
    once bought a house in 15 minutes.
    Yep. I'm the wishful thinker. :T


    All the best for 2011, I hope you get all your dreams (but you won't be getting me sorry)

    Darling. I already said, I'm trying to let you down gently.
    But its clear to even the most casual peruser of this thread, that you're mine already. ;)

    It's only you that thinks the stats are irrelevant ;)

    Go on, I'm giving you the option of being the bigger man (you know deep down you want to be).

    Walk away quietly and stop trying to twist something that simply isn't true. That way I wont feel the need to reply and the thread can go into obscurity and you need not see the stats again in this thread.
