    Exchanging posts with you reminds me of my attempts to negotiate with Wandsworth Council, in the end I had to give up because they just talked nonsense all the time.

    Sorry for staying on topic.
    But I can't be blamed if your contribution has no relevance.

    Only I'm surprised you bothered, as just about every bull who's responded has tried, and failed, with near identical weak attempts to negate the points, inevitabley followed by ad homenium attacks.

    Not that you're an obvious stereotype demonstrating little originality or self awareness.

    I don't see the "[STRIKE]green[/STRIKE] geneer with envy" posts anymore (unless quoted) since I decided to remove all the nonsence (I didn't want to be ignorant but ignoring geneer does stop me getting sucked into pointless discussions with him.

    Had I chosen to keep discussing / debating with him, I would have quoted you endlessly.
    Thanks

    :rotfl:Some champion ignoring going on there. Seems to be a bullish habit that.

    Of course Lites decision to avoid pointless discussions comes after the plummeting ROS figures arrived to nicely cap off his most pointless, and fairly extended discussion of the same.

    I'm sure thats just a coincidence though. ;)

    Yes sometimes I wonder what is going on in his mind

    Not purchasing property or improving his position in order to be able to buy a property obviously.

    If he put in the same effort as his incoherant arguments or cartoon drawing, he'd be well on the way to contributing the the owner occupier statistic

    What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.

    LOL I bet that's what his school report used to say, except talking about better grades rather than buying property, if only he had listened to his teachers, things could have been so different for him.

    Oh dear.
    A whole lot a dummy spitting (and some champion ignoring) going on here.

    Looks like they really can't deal with being wrong.

    Yes I was wrong geneer, and now my wife and I are lumbered with multiple profitable investment properties and a house without a mortgage. If only I had listened to you and rented a bedsit instead.

    i'm sure that i've read somewhere on here that gingernuts refused to buy in Edinburgh in 2001 because he was expecting a crash and it was too expensive.

    i wonder what he thinks of prices in 2011 compared to 2001... #gutted#
