    Don't sweat it Joguest.

    Hamish is renowned for ghosting away from threads when his "arguments are knocked into a cocked hat".

    So when he starts jumping up and down and demanding instant responses and claiming you've done a dissapearing act,
    theres more than a few ironic eyebrows raised.

    Thats nice Pimp. And I see the usual selection of chuckle brothers have thanked you for your insight.

    But when exactly have I ever walked away from an argument. :rotfl:

    The bull reality gap just keeps widening.

    To be honest Geneer, you've been wrong so often and so comprehensively and to such a frightening degree in terms of actual cash losses, that no-one can ever accuse you of walking away from an argument you're losing. You're never in any other kind of argument. Chapeau.

    It's encouraging to see the economy improving against all the expectations of the doom mongers and str filth. Long may it continue.

    Well if you can type it it must be true. :rotfl:


    Though I have just checked my bank account, and there doesn't appear to be any cash missing. Go figure.

    Isn't your problem with geener that he won't let it go?!

    Funny that you should now turn round and suggest he does.

    Not really, there are plenty of examples on the other site (and, No, I am not going to go and find them) where geneer posts something and then a short time later he says "Where's Pimp gone then"? When actually I had only popped out for a couple of hours to slay a dragon or some other trivial act.

    Hear! Hear!

    However, does anyone still condone that STR nonsense? Talk about betting your house - its completely reckless.

    Unless you sold in Q1 2008 and bought back in again in Q1 2009, then this would have been a financial disaster.

    Why don't you pop over to HPC and ask that. I think you will be inundated with very helpful replies.
