    Do you want to back that suggestion up by finding a quote where a bull has said anything of the sort Geneer?


    Not really Jules. I think we call all rely on our memories for this one.

    You are funny. This is quite similar to the occasion you kept insisting the no bull had ever called a soft landing. A pronouncement so clearly boss eyed that it effectively invalidated itself. :rotfl:

    Don't forget the joys of knocking your head on low beams and door jams. When we first moved into our home we needed crash helmets for the first month or so. Even now if you get distracted as you walk through a door way you can come a cropper. My missus was telling her friends that she had trouble combing her hair because it was so painfull. :)

    My parents' house dates back to 1685 and crikey people were short then. Low doorways and a six foot tall young man are a painful combination.
  • I wonder when we will see this quote supplied?

    Still no sign of any actual proof. I'm beginning to wonder if geneer's created a meme for himself and it's been obliterated. He's showing a spectacular lack of self awareness if this is the case. Talk about shooting one's self in the foot. Rank hypocrisy too no doubt.

    He'll probably dig something out from an unrelated blog that no one has ever heard of or indeed cared about.

    Well I don't remember anyone making the assertion that numerous bulls said that only new build flats have fallen in price. I've tried the search function too - nothing there.

    You've either remembered incorrectly or been caught out making things up.

    I remember that too! I logged it in my meme spreadsheet and drew a picture of what I imagine Julie looks like, printed out the comment and stuck it in my 'bulls vs bears' scrapbook. Julie has her own chapter.

    Wow your beginning to speak his language now, are you self taught in geneerism?

    It's not that they were short, so much. People were on average shorter, but there were still 6 footers. King Edward III, aka Longshanks, was about 6 ft 3.

    But longer oak beams were very, very expensive. They cost much more per unit length if they were 7 ft than if they were 6 ft, say. Like diamonds.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.
