    It is pretty hopeless, isn't it? It's like Geneer and his "memes": invent something a "bull" may have said and then go on endlessly about how it's not true.

    I'd say Straw Man except it takes a bit more skill to make a straw man than some of this rubbish.


    Lets remind ourselves of JulieQs belief that she could confirm "no bull ever predicted a "soft landing" for houseprices whilst we assess her credibility.

    The funny thing looking back at previous attempts is just how totally and heroically wrong Macaque was about everything he said.

    Not that that's a surprise exactly, you can search back through all of his posts and find the same thing. His inability to get anything right is beyond random chance. He's a perfect contraindication.

    That's sarcasm for you though. If you're sarcastic and wrong you do end up looking like a bit of a plank. I always go back to Mewbie's sarcastic prediction where he managed to get the trajectory of the recovery precisely right by saying the opposite of what he believed would happen. Happy days.
    Yes, you always go back to that. I believe the poster formerly known as you know who was not talking out of his you know what but was making an informed wild guess which happened to be quite accurate.

    This has never happened before or since to my knowledge.

    Or his knowledge I suppose, if we are continuing the false ID subterfuge due to the misundertanding over two for one pizza's.

    These are happy days indeed for Mr M, who's now paid for his writing, rather than wasting valuable time spilling literary seed with onanistic abandon on this board. ;)

    He has gone forth and multiplied. A few others could usefully do likewise. :)

    And the board is the poorer for his absence. Oh how I would have loved to see him toying with geneer :D

    Thanks guys, you're too kind. As for money... well, next year maybe! But there is a glimmer, which is potentially greater than that that shines from Hamish's third eye.

    This is just desperation to try and paint a picture which quite clearly isn't reality.

    Remind us again macaque, how far to go to meet your 70% prediction?

    You mean like "there been no crash to speak of".

    You're a bit selective in who's living in the real world light.

    But then, you are a non-bull.

    Did it take you three weeks to come up with that epic post?
    Well done.
