    Excellent post from my point of view (yes, do forgive us teasing Geneer but we've grown rather fond of it. Geneer, for his part, likes to go back to the forum I used to frequent (until banned :o) to tell people how badly I am doing. Hence I am never off of the front page over there)!


    Thats funny. Could you be referring to the same thread you mentioned here?

    Geneer, lovin' that you posted this over on Cc showing a view count of 244. That would have made it the 10th most popular topic on their front page out of 25!

    I see you had to reply to your own post to make the reply count next to nothing. ;)

    Bzzt. Does not compute.
    Could it truly be that pimperne1 simply pumps out his mindless assertions with little regard to reality? :rotfl:


    Can't see you on the front page by the way. They seek him there, they seek him there that damned elusive pimperne1. :D

    I don't understand why you guys care so much about each other? Are the home owners so insecure in their decision to buy that they need to justify it over multiple threads

    Yeah. Who would so insecure as to do something like that?

    Sorry, but still can't see your name on the front page pimperdoodle.

    Do make up your mind though, the thread is either doing fab, or I'm replying to myself. Can't be both. :D (you forgot to comment on this bit didn't you)

    Firstly, its a different thread geneer. Here's the 244 view thread you posted over there (although you do put rather a lot of my good work over there so it must be confusing). ;)

    As for being "on the front page" - I did of course expect you to open up a thread to see my name. Incidentally, I fully expect the same thread to be "on the front page" this time next week with the traffic now passing through Cc. :beer:

    Edit to say (and this will be very interesting for everyone on site -sorry apologies) - I appear on two other threads on the front page!

    Which is another way of saying you are most certainly "off" the front page. :)
    As opposed to say...

    Another meaningless assertion blown out of the pimperhole.

    Incidentally, you're the only one who seems to care. :rotfl:
    Keep checking in on old CC won't you Pimperne1.
    Your bonkers view counting habits are fascinating.

    6 years on

    and 4 years from the start of the Crash/meltdown. :)

    higher house prices

    If you ignore the crash.

    still renting, and still you were right....

    No one said the bears got it 100% right. This has been discussed multiple times. Its just more convenient for you to run with the fallacies in order to keep your meaningless circular arguments spinning.

    Anyway, they weren't 100% right, but they were infinitely more accurate than chaps like yourself.
    ... I give up.


    :rotfl:If only you had it in you Fubra. Maybe you should have given up 4 years ago. :D
