He's probably frantically PM-ing all his mates on hpc to find a non-slum suburb that has had price falls since 2005.
Not being able to find one, he'll be back shortly to state he has no intention of letting us obsessives know where he's going to live.
Or just squirm around and try to move the goalposts.
Whatever.....:cool:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I admire your patience for dealing with him, personally I feel a bit sorry for him. The worst part is that he honestly doesn't seem to realise that he is complete fool.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

:rotfl:Yet here I am Hamish.
My apologies, took an early lunch before heading out for a meeting.
I've sincerely sorry I can't spend all of my day arguing with random people on an internet forum.0 -
One minute your ignoring.
The next your not.IveSeenTheLight wrote: »The goalposts move so much, you can't hold a topic to debate on.- One minute the averages are skewed and irrelevant (when rising), next their gospel (when falling)
To summarise, I thought I was right, I've been proven right, the VIs have confirmed I was right.- One minute your discussing ROSEA average, next he switches to ESPC.
- One minute your discussing YoY and he wants monthly because of their recent trend. If that trend turns, he'll jump on YoY if monthly is up. Occasionally he'll try QoQ if both YoY and MoM are not to his sliking.

You can't hold a topical debate so it's best to leave him stewing and arguing with himself.
Though the evidence suggest you can, for an extended period. Only you end up losing the debate, spit the dummy, then fumble about the board slagging him off in the most ineffective example of ignoring ever seen since the last half dozen bulls did the same. :rotfl:
I've given up pointing out his blatant error's and can see he's obviously bleating on in this thread.
In other words you failed to justify your spurious arbitrary assumptions.
Thank god I don;t get drawn into responding as I just see one liners saying I can;t see his messages.
Yet here you are. :T
Nice Ignorin' Tex!0 -

Didn't suggest that the averages did apply to every area in Edinburgh Spamish.
However the blunt global averages appear to be good enough for you to quote in aberdeen, and certainly have been good enough for Edinburgh, oh until January
. Whats up Hamish, has something changed.
There must be a reason you're getting so gwummpy :rotfl:HAMISH_MCTAVISH wrote: »
Tell you what, why don't you let us know which area of Edinburgh you're looking to buy in and, providing it's not a slum, we'll show you numerous examples of actual houses that sold then that have sold again recently for more.
Tell you what Hamish. Why don't you let all your bearish chums know which part of aberdeen you're living in?
No need for a house number or anything.
A post code will do. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:HAMISH_MCTAVISH wrote: »
No skewed indices, no fudging of figures, no asking prices, just the same house selling for significantly more money recently than it did in 2005.
Of course being a fair, reasonable and logical chap, you really mean 2006.HAMISH_MCTAVISH wrote: »
Let's put this tedious bickering to bed once and for all.
Yeah. 3 years listening to the same bullish nonsense is long enough, eh mate. Now its time to put it to bed. Wow. Just wow.0 -

Geneer, providing house buying advice since 2006:
http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=21345&st=112
And the result:

The results mean house price inflation in the Capital has now topped 10% in six consecutive quarters dating back to early 2006.

That thread is priceless.
Another hilarious geneerism ......The difference is that the HPC forum is a hotbed of debate , review and analysis in which a concensus is eventually reached.
Yeah.... By banning anyone that disagrees!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Like you have said to me before hamish i am a pretty thick individual, fair enough that is your opinion and you are entitled to it, and my opinion on you is still the same, you aint half a soft ar53.0 -
