A classic HPC stupid thread.

I know we shouldn't look over there but this thread is one of the all time classics for me.
Some BTL geezer asking the HPC bedsit brigade 'What's wrong with buy to let' :rotfl:


Look at the replies.:rotfl:

    Why does someone in Thailand spend their time on a message board about house prices in the UK, then report discussions from there to another UK forum for general ridicule? Genuine question. Are you bored out there?
    Been away for a while.
  • I think the Bangkok lady boys must be on strike again and sleazy Sibley is at a loose end.

    At least they don't have amnesia.

    Or are you just losing track over what you post under which sockpuppet.....;)

  • There's a lot wrong with BTL. Namely, too many amateurs, chancers, speculators and muppets are becoming landlords - much to the detriment of tenants looking for a stable home.

    I'm not sure why we need to go to another forum to look at stupid threads when we have more than enough to go round here.
  • Is this forum some kind of feeder site to this HPC website?

    They really should be paying for all the advertising on here.

    HPC banned sibley and hamish. Hence then brought their own style of posting here.

    Ie they got !!!!! slapped and their egos couldn't take it.

    I always think that HPC banning Hamish is their loss and our gain. I don't always agree with him and don't always enjoy his rather robust posting style, but he's clearly intelligent, posts up lots of interesting articles and it's generally a good thing to have people at either end of the spectrum when you're debating an issue.

    I'd obviously return sibley if I could, the man's clearly an amoeba.

    Yeah at times.
    Unfortunately I have to work for a living. There are no other English people in my office. Just Thai's. I travel a lot as well and get stuck in hotel rooms a fair bit. I pass some of the time on UK message boards. No big deal.

    My weekends are fun though. :)

    Gloomy, I'm shocked you have the front to even come on here any more. Thick skinned like a rhinoceros you are :rotfl:

    After the hammering Hamish gave you I thought you'd crawl back under your rock. Didn't you see the thread where you slagged something off and Hamish copied and pasted you praising it up the month before?

    You've lost the 1% credibility you had. You keep on about ladyboys as well. Are you a transsexual?
