    I never come here. :A

    I have no interest in the subject.

    Sorry.:o
  • 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


    Because I am certain in the next three years the property market is going to fall by 30% in nominal terms.
    I am as certain in the same way that I know the Euro will fail in it's present form or as certain that Man city(who I cannot stand) will win the premier, but I cannot give a date.

    So I come along to sites like this and try and find the genuine posters who are not on a mission and who report on the facts as they see them, and see how close my prediction is to arriving, like waiting for a train for example and checking your blackberry on it's progress.

    Why do you take life so seriously?

    Won't happen.

    You have only been around for a couple months, and I a have seen a lot of posters like you come......and go. In 3 years time you will either no longer be a regular poster or have a new user name to cover up your embarrassing post history.

    I've seen it all before.

    You seem to be the only one 'on a mission'

  • This forum used to be good value for some banter and a bit of discussion around a few central topics. However it is becoming a pretty miserable place to hang out now.

    I had thought there were few places worse on the internet than hpc.co.uk, but slowly and surely an exodus of their rejects has turned up here and colonised the board into a hegemony of mutually congratulating, prejudiced, closed minded, neo liberal Daily Mail reading right wing nuts.

    Posting here, haunting hpc.co.uk like hungry ghosts to find things to cross post here, and F5ing Richard Littlejohn, seems to be their lives and personally I am becoming tired of having the same arguments with the same block heads in every thread.

    I expect that is a fair comment.

    Thing was HPC banned all the bulls on the site. Reason being the bears were getting humiliated. House prices did not crash.

    We all knew they posted on here because they used to keep linking stories on their site.
    It's been nice giving them a hammering and they certainly got the message.

    No point saying sorry. Your forum was ruined as soon as those idiots joined.

    As you say. There is nothing else to bat about. It's all been said before. Prices up and down a few %%% in 2012.

    Who cares?

    All it is now is the bears jumping up and down when average prices go down 1% and same with the bulls.

    At the end of the day prices have stayed same.
    No house price crash and no need for HPC website.
