Come on.
We have been full circle now.

Everyone has sniped at their enemies. The people banned from HPC have had their say and reached the ears of the nutcases through here and the national newspapers.

Unless we see either a drastic rise or fall in house prices there is nothing left to say. All we get now is the different sides posting the latest daily news article either good or bad. It's boring.

I've seen so much biterrness on these type of boards. I can understand it. One side have houses and don't want to lose money. The other does not own and wants to take something off the people they rent from.

Most people really want to own so paying somebody elses mortgage is no good for the head.

All that aside.

Are people as miserable as they come across on here?

Let's have a laugh and good humour thread.

What makes you laugh?

What do you like doing in your spare time? It can't be surfing the internet for house price news surely?

I like going to Pattaya with my friends, my job, my dogs and eating Cold Stone ice cream. How about you? :)
We love Sarah O Grady

    I like photography, cycling and hifi. The biggest thing people should be grateful and happy for is the one thing 99% of don't think of or take for granted and it's your health.

    If you don't have that, most other things become irrelevant very quickly.
    Have owned outright since Sept 2009, however I'm of the firm belief that high prices are a cancer on society, they have sucked money out of the economy, handing it to banks who've squandered it.

    I'd agree with you 110% there.
    Being fit and healthy is the most important thing in the world otherwise everything else becomes almost impossible or as you say irrelevant.

    So long as it's not child slave labour, what's the problem?

    Those who have moral objections to children working in the third world have obviously never lived in the third world. They don't have the luxury of a welfare state to grow fat and lazy on. If they don't get the chance to work, they and their families suffer. Go to the Philippines or Cambodia, and the kids hate the liberal do-gooder who protect them from working, at the same time condemning them to be hungry at night.
