    Just post a link to Columbo or me claiming a soft landing in 2002, 2003, 2004 or 2005

    Why not 2006? ;)

    Incidentally, at which point did you think you admitting anything was right was of any significance or interest?

    Because you said you provided a link from 2005.

    Yeah, and it was from 2006.
    And? :rotfl:

    No really. Why would 2005 be the cut of point?
    Theres no such limitation in my original argument.
    In fact, I believe evidence was provided for 2006, 2007 and 2008 too. :rotfl:


    Can't have been some meaningless word game you stumbled into
    and got caught at then? ;)

    Nah. Your contribution is much more useful than that.
    Right? :D

    Okkkkkkkkkkkkkay. So you started off by saying that the "bulls" had been predicting a "soft landing" since 2002. It transpires that the "bulls" you refer to are Nationwide, Columbo, Hamish and I. On further investigation the "soft landing" that Nationwide was predicting (although they DID call it a soft landing) was a rise in prices of over 10% and that none of the others commented upon a "soft landing" until 2006. Would that be fair?

    Letting it slide? I don't think so. You said Columbo said it in 2005 and he didn't. The first link you can post to any member of the websites is in 2006 when you said they had been calling a soft landing since 2002.

    Oh, by the way, at what point did I say Nationwide, Columbo, Hamish and you were the sole bulls refered to in my assesment?
    Because clearly, in the one out of context post thats getting you all excited, I was drawing attention to the nonsensical worth of your "neither" assertion.

    You of course chose to put your own focussed spin on it,
    and pull your todge joyously as you got a few posts of pedantry inspired confusion it caused.

    Well done you.
