Woah, don't tell me I'm taking sides, because I'm not.
I'm sure you would have something to say if interest rates went up and I said stuff like "it warms my heart, I'm making some more money", while homeowners get repo'd. Indeed, you already have told me I want people chucked out of their houses so I get more on the savings and a cheaper house.
You certainly wouldn't be saying "well done Graham, brilliant decision" - and whatever else you epxect us to say when you tell us over and over you are doing splendidly, if I started a thread such as this, or went round stating I have been able to buy a bigger house at the misery of the family being evicted from it.
You know exactly what sort of response these threads would get. So don't act the victim when you get it.0 -

I like this thread.
Funny on so many levels.
RM posts knowing he'll get a reaction (which is fun on occasions... cant help myself sometimes.... I know it's hard to believe but....) and then the people who are being baited know they're being baited but still can't resist flinging themselves on the hook.
RM then gets to protest his innocence and proclaim about how he had no enemies til he had an unfortunate incident with Derv. (This does of course rely on us all continuing to not bring up his past identities)
JonnyBravo then has to bring up his past identities and how RM can't help himself how he flips between loving this kind of stuff and being genuinely angered by it to the extent of getting himself banned on purpose to start afresh and how it'll be different next time.
Geneer appears and adds nothing as usual, which must be a little dispiriting for him, but NOOO it's ok cos he can look at Scottish houseprices over 3 weekends in Feb and everything is free or something. Oh and post something with Hitler talking about houseprices.
All we need now is for Graham to bring up how many times a day "on average" RM does this kind of thing and we can then laugh about how Graham needed to be educated on mean, median and mode.
Anyway, its tea time.0 -

Threads even funnier now you've added your earnest and extended deconstruction.
Yes JB, thanks for letting us know that ol RM was trolling.
Gosh isn't he clever getting a response on an internet forum.
And aren't you clever to see it.:rotfl:
Trolling is as trolling does, but I'm sure the intended response was not to generate a consensus acceptance that his trolling unintentionally reflects his deep rooted and increasingly obvious insecurities.
Just saying like.0 -
Well done RM... *pats on the back*
To speculate, there are winners and losers, to sit on the fence is to is to watch opportunities pass you buy, for every winner there is a loser too. You've gotta be innit to win it!
Well done that man, its a shame people along the way feel the need to slate you for doing something... rather than nothing... maybe you should have just stayed home, had 8 kids, and got the equivalent house for free off the government in the process while claiming benefits and being a burden on society... oh the irony.
I congratulate you for working hard and being a man and providing for your family in the traditional hard working "british" way.
You are a good role model for all of us!
