    we have offered on a couple of nice places, but the sellers wont budge. they are crazy not to sell at a knock down rate in order to benefit me. crazy I tells ya! greedy home owning b'stards!

    If there not willing to sell at market rate they won't sell will they.

    I used to work with one of the HPC main men. He was always poleaxed and on his high horse when headlines like this came out. I bet their wives have a rough day now. The divorce rate on there must be high.
    The birds will just move on to somebody with a future.

    This story is great. I'm in my zone today. I've ripped them to pieces in the comments section.
    There is nowhere to run. Game set and match to the bulls. Notice Geneer is choosing the quiet option today as well.

    And now I'm all alone in bedsit land my only home.
