Jolly good show. No one likes a quitter after all.



Waaaaaaaaaait a minute. This smells like new information.
Sounds like he ultimately bought because he needed to house his growing family.
i.e. Renovationmans "one true way".
Which turns out to have been a bit of a gamble.

Oh dear, its all a bit tricky isn't it.





Ah I see. So your friend gambled by not buying. Then he gambled by buying. You on the other hand got by on your skills, cunning and nerve. Like a house buying ninja?
Am I right?



Not to worry. I reckon I've taken a gamble and "won".
Though by gamble I mean assessed the facts, considered them in a wider context and acted in accordance with the outcome of my analysis.

And for the record I posted my story as a cautionary tale for those who might have leapt blithely into a housing bubble for no other reason than because they fancy a bigger gaffs for their nippers to run around in.



:rotfl:Thanks for the faux sympathy, but you didn't.




You mean like buying a house in the middle of an obvious housing bubble? Based on the gut feeling that "they'll be alright".
hmmmmm?



Oh dear oh dear. "cry about it on internet forums". Someones a gwummpy bunny. Sorry RM. If I touched a nerve, I apologise.
I really, really mean that.

Then again, if he had bought a bit earlier, would he now be on an internet forum s@cking himself off for his brilliant decision making processes as compared to one other person, and trying to make out
that this is some kind of object lesson with the application of spurious comparisons? Who knows.




Now why on earth would I want to PM you RM. :rotfl:
Finding it tedious are you? How strange. I rather thought you would enjoy having your dubious arguments deconstructed, and having that rather obvious chip on your shoulder prodded.

Ah well it looks like RenovationVan has me on ignore.
I know this because he was compelled to take the time to tell both myself and the forum the same. No doubt on account of how little our recent interaction got under his skin.
