    I'm taking a break from this forum for a while, it's gone mental. See y'all later.

    I agree. I keep reading threads where I don't have the first idea what people are talking about. I'm starting to feel like a stranger in these parts and I've been around this board since before it was a board! Please don't go Cleaver.

    ....glad it's not just me :) I like to read a bit of Cleaver too but I don't 'get' what's going on either. All a bit mentalist for me.:)

    Does Geneer own a house, is saving up to buy a house or is content to rent? I can't work out the viewpoint sometimes.

    Geener is just one name. There seems to be about 7 following him everywhere. So I don't think it's all about hi,. He doesn't even have to be on a thread for people to start, they will anyway.

    Just read through the threads after logging off this morning. Seems were now getting updates on specifically how many posts are being posted on another forum now.

    Can I join in on the nice thread please?

    I don't think there is one, beyond truly exceptional levels of trolling.

    Absolutely....the more the merrier :D. You don't need to ask...just join in...like in a pub.

    Only speaking for myself of course (:o)...I use it as a place to chat about me, myself, I and then read/comment on all the other posters M/M/I posts. Facinating, interesting, sad (achingly so sometimes), funny....you know, stuff that makes you smile.
    Every time I read it through I learn something new too.....I am a bit up on F1 drivers now due to a converstion some other NP's had...and expensive bikes.

    Most bestest MSE therapy I have ever had.:cool:


    ...and to post on this thread could I possibly say (as a slightly older poster) that life will never be fair, the economic circumstances at any one time will never suit all (but will in general be a gain for some and a loss for others at different times) so, having spent a chunk of my life feeling that everything was Very Unfair..........letting that feeling go and just getting on with life feels a lot better.

    If the HP's are too high now, either comrpomise on space/location or wait.....just please don't moan about it.:)

    Indeed. A few years ago I thought I might buy a house. I then did.

    You bought 2 flats in 2007.
    And sold. In 2010. ;)


    But I was rather referring to your offer to depart.
    Essentially, talk is cheap pimps.

    Naturally Hamish says this with out a modicum of self awareness or Irony. :rotfl:

    Purlleeeeees Spamish. You're the biggest one note spammer on the board.
    (ok maybe 3 notes).

    It is funny how your frenzied claims of trolling co-incide with you being unable to support your own arguments, or negate mine.

    :rotfl:Might as well shut the board down now then.

    TBH boils down to "homes are just for living in" (C) 2008.
    Easier to "chill" as a "slightly older" poster I suspect.

    You should tag along with pimp.
    He's leaving the forum too.

    Or not. :rotfl:
