Harder to rewrite history than you think Bulls.

I dunno what's happened to the forum recently.

New names popping up all over the place, all with one common theme - they all don't take too kindly to geener. Now the pictures and stuff are bad as the rest of you, but seriously, 1 person has around 7 of you chasing each others tails coming up with ever more idiotic and childish slurs in response.

This JD bloke has become an all out obsession. He's plainly wrong, though it takes around 7 different usernames to tell us why, and a slur that the guy suggesting he's right actually works in KFC, therefore is a moron and shouldn't be listened to.

Chucky decided he needed a new username after the "I'll pretend to be shortchanged to discredit him" incident which blew up spectacularly, spent 1 post trying to spell correctly and gave up promptly, and then spent about 2 days trying to convince everyone he doesn't have a clue what any jargon is, but is now using said jargon and knowledge of all posters and it seems every single house price forum, to have a pop at the same people he always did have a pop at, using the same tired insults, though insists he's not chucky.

Hamish is having a complete meltdown.

Pimperne just starts random threads about this JD bloke all over the place, not only this forum, others too, while wizzing around to correct literally anyone who doesn't agree with his explanation of how wrong the bloke who said there would be a crash actually was.

Meanwhile, several usernames are trying to convince themselves and everyone else that if someone says "there will be a thunderstorm in the next 24 hours" the person who said it is completely and utterly discredited and a failiure to themselves, their family, their daughter and the British Isles, if the thunderstorm happens at the 26th hour instead of within the 24 hour timeframe. Of course they couldn't care less that another person said there won't be a thunderstorm....afterall, he's far more correct than the person who got the timing slightly wrong.

The bitterness against this bloke running through these posts is astounding.

Ahh, of course. How silly of me. And if I only knew who one of these were maybe I could work out the identity of the other one.

Now, Shakespeare I get and love. And to be honest, I have to say that his prose makes more sense to me than your posts.

If it helps, I aint got a bloody clue either.

Fubra are the people who own petrolprices and houseprices, could be mouseprices I think.

Heatchcote just bring a politician to mind.

It's never been quite this bad? I'm just wondering what has set it all off. I'm guessing it must be something on another hose price board. Like I said the other day I went to check out this CC forum.

Get's even more confusing, as on an australian house price forum, geener said something else and JD didn't say anything at all, so JD is even more wrong than everyone who did say something.

One of those will be right, all bow down to the new king of predictions, JD's heir!

Ahh, I remember the Fubra thing now. I've Googled Heathcotes and found an electronics shop, a restaurant and school. Google it with Fubra and I get a doctors in London, visa entry to Japan and customer reviews of a car park as my top three. But...

...the fourth entry is from housepricecrash and mentions the "heathcote amory". And something to do with Oliver Letwin. The plot thickens. I've not read the Da Vinci Code, so maybe I'm missing something.

No, you're right. I think it's simply a decline in decent posters when it comes down to it. Think back 18 or 24 months and there was dopester, FC, viva, treliac, lostinrates, !!!!!!, ad9898, carolt, ditheringdad, bubblesmoney and probably a load of other people I can't remember who may have had slightly bearish or bullish leanings, but could really add intelligent and considered points of view to a debate. And whilst everyone has their moments, they would all do without being nasty.

I know people like viva and FC still post, but not on any real economic threads. But maybe that's because there aren't really any economic threads? There are rows about precious metals vs houses and then weird personal attacks over pages and pages and pages, like this one.

Posts are like personalities, which are like portfolios (of the investment kind) - the balanced type is preferable.

Out of balance with one is usually a sign that the others are too.

Naturally the "harsh reality" is that you've decided to rewrite history and pretend the logical review and application of the rules of your 3 year epic boosheet timing game did not occour.

This is not of course surprising, given that the underlying premise of this thread is that you lot do like to make stuff up.

You have of course failed to address the salient point. For obvious reasons.

IOf the two "experts" in the discussion, dated early 2007, who ultimately was proven to be correct, and who was proven to be wrong.

I hope there is history, because this post is just nonsensical gibberish to the casual onlooker.

I'll give you a couple of facts. anyone who lumps the UK housing market together as one entity is either disingenuous or a moron.

secondly, many areas of London have housing prices considerably above 2007 peaks - so I wouldn't be too triumphant.

largely it makes not the slightest bit of difference what's happening in Hull, to the residents of Hampstead.
