I have the means to afford a property and will be doing in the future...
The bit about being jealous because you are more sucessful, the reasons behind the sucess are what boths me... because you was born earlier, simple as that.
It seem the older generations have taken all the wealth and closed the door behind them, as I say I have worked hard and will get there, but am I just going to say 'I am fine f**k the rest of my generation' no I am not, yet you seem to be quite happy in the fact that you are fine yet the generations below you are going to struggle to have what you got so easily in comparison.
Its to the point that you take pleasure in hearing how the younger generations have to work twice as hard to get half as much and you find that funny which is the truly insulting part.
Just consider that the numbers of people like me and growing while you are all dying, we should stop burning fossil fuels and old people cost a lot to keep... I see a solution there.Have my first business premises (+4th business) 01/11/2017

SingleSue,
You are one of the nicer people I'm on about.
I think you sound ok and I'd never want to make you feel bad. I think it's pretty obvious that you and this Percy fella are not the type that gets my goat up.
You two just want a house. That's fair enough in anyones book. I hope you both get one as well.
I dislike the poisonous types who are wishing, hoping and praying that other people lose their houses. Big difference.
You don't have the means to buy but you are not posting 'I live next door to a vile scumbag. He has 3 kids,works and bought a house. I hope he loses it and his family are made homeless. Then I can swoop in and buy it from the bank'
Doire.
If there were no lies in my post.
Would you agree my life is better than yours?
Just answer truthfully please.:)We love Sarah O Grady0 -
Why? They are not in the game and cannot bring anything to the table.
If we started banning people who don't bring anything to the table you'd be in the first group up against the wall. Although the thought is tempting, I'm afraid it would somewhat undermine my support for allowing freedom of expression. I will have to console myself with the fact that badly expressed opinions often harm the cause the aim to support.
I know your current debating 'flavour of the month' is to make vague attacks on the financial situation of those you oppose. I hope you realise soon that it's painfully shallow and equally obvious. Playing the man, rather than the ball, is never going to get you very far.Having a signature removed for mentioning the removal of a previous signature. Blackwhite bellyfeel double plus good...0 -
You really are a couple of nasty bits of work.
The most pleasing and obvious signals I get from your posts is you both have miserable lives. That really makes me happy.:rotfl:
I'm a bit old fashioned. My parents taught me to never brag or boast about what you have. It's not nice and not polite. I don't mind annoying nasty bits of work like yourselves but not decent hardworking people who may genuinely priced out or having hard times.
My motivation for joining these type of boards is to counter attack any rotten bears who try and talk the housing market and UK down. It's a load of tosh what they write and I hate the way they gang up on decent hardworking people.
I don't really want to stoop down to your level but I can.
It will trouble you to know that I thank god everyday how lucky and privileged I am to be living here. I absolutely love Thailand.
I own 50% of a great house with my sister in Maidstone NO MORTGAGE.
1 x cottage in Loose valley.More than 60% paid off with a great tenant.
My job is fantastic. My dream come true. The best company I could ever hope to work for. Money is good for UK so here it's excellent.
I can live where I want to in Bangkok. I'm married though. Thai people like to live near family and as my wife comes from Rang Sit then so be it. My house is not a slum. It's nice. 3 bedroom detached.
It suits me because I have dogs including my lovely Akita. I don't want to be part of the ex pat ' Look how important I am' scene.
The wife and I do like a dabble in the adult entertainment here. Hi Ho so what? We are both over 21 and it's fun.
So there you have it.
Of course I'm interested in house prices and want them to rise. Saying that, I've told my tenant that I'll make a big discount for him should he want to buy my place as he's been so good.
Whatever.
What are you two doing for the rest of the week?
Nothing?
We are off to central Bangkok tonight for a meal with friends. Probably go to Vertigo restaurant. Google it. :rotfl:
Thursday it's off to Phuket with customers then back to Pattaya with the wife for Loy Kratong festival and quite possible a menage trois with my wifes friend Lek.
Happy dayz.
P.S.
How could I forget?
I found out last week. I got a UK pension forecast from DHSS. I've paid 29 years NI. I've only got to top up £97 one years worth then I'll get full whack pension. That's your money that is. Bet that grates.:beer:

to make vague attacks on the financial situation of those you oppose.
And of course our little group of regular housing bears would never do anything like that.....
If I had a quid for every time I've seen the words "overindebted" or "overstretched" used to describe just about everyone with a mortgage, I'd be a rich man.Playing the man, rather than the ball, is never going to get you very far.

You really are a tool. And can I also ask how you can be so convinced about the state of the UK property market when you live on the other side of the world??0 -

Vague attacks on other peoples financial situation, you say......

So there you have it.
The caricature you paint sure does rile a lot of people.
Me? I think you're an idiot with too much time on their hands and rather than keeping them busy with your wife and her friends you seem to prefer typing on here.
Wonder why that is?0 -
