    Theres a lot of untruths told about me Cleaver, mainly because it suits the constructed narrative.

    You're a man on an internet forum who's bought a house. Can you have a developed 'constructive narrative' about a man that bought a house?

    I'm hiding the precise sum of my mortgage.
    Which is probably understandable to most, and certainly irrelevant to the discussion.

    Jonny, you really are firing blanks.

    Ah I see.
    Worried about a bit of mickey taking re the amount you borrowed eh? The deposit not quite as grand as made out previously in other places?????
    As always, trying to muddy waters and leave maximum room for wriggling later on eh? :rotfl:

    Constructed Cleaver. As in "fabricated".

    So of course I'm an UBER BEAR, THE BIGGEST BEAR ON THE INTERNET.

    Which of course I'm not.
    Didn't I already explain this too you?

    Sorry cleaver. I thought we were close to having an honest conversation. My mistake.

    Speaking of wriggling, it wasn't many posts ago I was a fantasist.

    Now you want to know my sort code and pin number to check out the exact details of my mortgage:rotfl:

    Of course another way of characterising the wriggling en mass climb down by the bulls (and of course non-bulls) would be to say I was right and the peanut gallery has turned out to be spectacularly wrong.

    Can't imagine why you all won't fess up to it. :D

    Incidentally, how exactly does one wriggle out of buying a house?
    Nutter. :rotfl:

    Of course Renovation man has popped in to thank JBs wittering post.
    Yet strangely has declined to answer my queries. Again.

    A Hamish style Ghost out in other words. And we all know what that means.:D

    Most people don't consider buying at a price higher than when you joined HPC 4 years earlier a victory. Especially since you blew circa £28k in rent whilst waiting.

    I guess maths was never your strong point.
    If I don't reply to your post,
    you're probably on my ignore list.

    Why are some people on here so concerned about 'thanks'? Someone even created a username just to 'thank' like-minded people. Bonkers.

    What queries have I 'strangely' declined to answer, 'again'? As far as I can see, I was the last one to ask a question and you're the one who has strangely declined to answer 'again':
    You're revealing an astonishing lack of self awareness here. Can you not see the boggle eyed length your desperate need for affirmation has taken you to?

    Why are you so desperate for people to believe your story? For me, as an individual to believe your story?

    SO instead of 'ghosting' I was actually the last person to post in our little conversation and was waiting for a response. When I logged back in, you still hadn't responded. I therefore waited for you to. Unlike you, who frantically spunks over the forum with multiple posts every time he logs on, I post and then await a response. You might try that some time as it makes one look less fanatical and more mentally stable than your serial posting tactic.

    Anyway, I digress. You were about to respond to my "revealing an astonishing lack of self-awareness question...."

    That's why he won't show his monthly mortgage amount. He is desperately afraid of slipping up. There is absolutely no reason to hide this except for the reasons myself and JonnyBravo have given, I've supplied mine and haven't had any bad effects. geneer knows this and tries to hide his discomfort under the bluster of pretending we have asked for info that can identify him (sort code and account number), which we haven't and never would or he jumps off at a tangent ranting about someone 'thanking' someone - hoping that we follow on that tangent and forget about his evasion.

    Fear not, we won't. :D

    Yep. For me it's clear.
    He is a homeowner but is an "overstretched debt junkie" :D (I've read lots of naerlynew you know) and obviously doesn't want to disclose such a shattering revelation.
