why do you all bother with this forum?

having had a week off work last week, i visited this forum for a read and was enticed into making a few comments.
over lunch today, i've had another look....but it's just the same stuff going round and round, ad infinitum

some people say house prices will fall, others say not....it's either

A - landlords with vested interests (many of whom sound pretty desparate to me...otherwise, why would they spend so much time on here (and many of whom seem like pretty dispicable people to me)

B - people who genuinely think house prices are too high and will fall and who are hoping to buy a house to live in (who i agree with in the main, and who generally seem like much more likeable people)

C - bull5hitting lunatics like mr ree (who i genuinely think has some issues)

i can't imagine why you all spend so much time here debating the same points....it's pretty clear that you'll never agree on any of them....and you have zero influence over what happens.....so why not just use your time better?

there's a whole world out there with things to so that would be a better use of your time and energy.......so why not go and see some of it?

i'll not be back on here...so Mr Ree et al, feel free to post your usual nonsence/lies/insults......

and as a final comment, irrespective of whether you believe or care what i do for a living, i was telling you the truth last week....i never lie....it's pointless..

see ya

    Oh dear! The high flying FTSE 100 director, who has been outed as a lowly manager living in a rented bedsit is in a bit of a strop?

    My favourite Marlon quote is here, which shows just what a nasty piece of work he is...
    lets just say i probably earn 2-3 times what you earn and that i have enough to buy 2 houses outright and leave it at that

    Bye bye now

    You'll not be missed

    Hurray!! Marlon is back to play!

    :beer:

    How I love the intellectual cut and thrust of your searing analysis, and your truly magnificent use of the English language just leaves me breathless.

    Great to have your searing wit and insight back Marlon

    All is forgiven

    :T

    Who is the "big important meeting" with ? I hope they up your medication a bit

    Bad news Marlon! Someone has just hacked into your account and made it look as if you came back on here, so it looked as if you were lying.

    No he does have a big important meeting with this guy:

    http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/World/20111219/north-korea-kim-jong-un-111219/


    But there is about to be an international incident, because when Marlon got the memo about the meeting it had a typo in it, instead of saying enigma it stated enema. Kim's going to get one hell of a surprise at their meeting :eek:

    This is exactly the reason I find this forum so addictive. Sad I know.

    One week's data is just noise. Everyone knows you need at least 3 months to be a good indicator, but best to have a whole year to be sure of all the purportless repetitive arguments and personal insults.

    I've been on this sub-board for 3 years :)

    If you are going to stick around then you need to pick a side and start throwing stones.
