Probably turn the beer sour.

More likely he'd state that beer was the better indexed linked investment than property, even though the glass would be empty by the end of his point

Devon and Thruglemire are known in psychology as Hedgehogs. All the evidence demonstrates thier predictions are bound to be wrong.

Imagine what it be like sitting in a pub and having a beer with this fella!

Some of us live in the real world.

Not all of us are politicians.

"20 month high" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Lets ponder the significance of that statement.


Given the fall back to typical embittered bull chat above, they appear to have grasped the same.

Quite the opposite. I'm more than happy to buy 2 quality beers for Thrugel and myself and get 16 pints of bitters in for the rest of you. I'll even ask for a slice of lemon for y'all to suck on.

Oh my God! This too is a classic Hedgehog response to always claim to be a realist.

Countless utterly discredited economists and thinkers in history claimed to be realists.

You do know that we've had 100 separate consensus serious predictions that peak oil was just around the bend, going right back to 1894!:rotfl: They were realists too.

In the 70's lots of thinkers had formed the view America would enter civil war due to mass starvation - you will snigger at this, but at the time it was a widely accepted REALISTS view. One of the leading books about this was 'The Population Bomb'. The author wrote - 'any thinking person agrees America will face mass starvation by 1980 at the latest, only a fool could ignore the evidence all around us'.

You totally misunderstood my comment. That's the danger with having an assumptive personality. Suggest you broaden your reading to include current factual reports.

Good point,
The highest since Dec 2009, virtually the end of the stamp duty holiday.

Well pointed out, fairly significant considering there is no stimulus now.

How bullish of you to point that out.:)

You might want to check your figures there champ.
December 09 was 74000 and very much a one off.

Turns out that these record breaking cor blimey volumes have been pretty typical since the end of 2007.


Going back to my actual point, volumes still trundling along a 50%
of what they were near peak.

Seems like the rather misleading headline is doing nothing more gilding the turd doesn't it.

Still, nice try. And you seemed so confident too. :rotfl:
