    Hi PG. Welcome back to the forum.

    Yes geneer boght 2 years ago. Just didn't have the guts to admit it at the time. But you already know geneer's ways. ;)

    Wait a minute you are saying he bought in 2009???? :eek::eek::eek:

    .......but I thought he was waiting until there was a house price crash....????????

    That's what i thought. But his actions didn't match his rhetoric.

    I guess he eventually realised the bulls had been proved correct.

    Maybe we should take it as a compliment. :)
    If I don't reply to your post,
    you're probably on my ignore list.

    Good grief. It's one of those moments.

    You remember exactly what you were doing / where you were when you first heard Kennedy had been shot or LTFC had been deducted 30 pts or the moon landing.

    The Geneer news has got to be up there with that:eek:

    Nice to see you PG :)

    Looks like all those years he really was taking your advice - though was maybe a bit pigheaded to admit it.

    Hows life treating you anyway?

  • I wish Geneer all the best but it's a bit light of the wee fella to buy in 2009 and then keep it quiet.

    Why would he do that?

    Realist Bear, Dr Bubb and his BTL's, Mervyn Somerset Webb, Geneer etc etc why do all the uber bears buy houses after telling every one there will be a HPC for years ???? Why rent for all thse years and buy before the "HPC" has happened??

    Nowt as a queer as folk as old Grandma PG used to say.

    Benjamin.
  • Just been over to CC. :(

    Sad to see the old place.

  • Those were the days...

    Once upon a time there was a tavern
    Where we used to raise a glass or two
    Remember how we laughed away the hours
    And dreamed of all the great things we would do

    Those were the days my friend
    We thought they'd never end
    We'd sing and dance forever and a day
    We'd live the life we choose
    We'd fight and never lose
    For we were young and sure to have our way

    Just a thought but any 'bear' buying a house doesn't mean the bulls are right.

    I have bought a house because its the first time in my life I can afford it and life is short.

    Do I believe prices are going to drop further, most probably.
