    Absolutely! Talking about jumping through hoops. Reno man is like a lion tamer making geneer do tricks for the amusement of the whole forum. I hope he doesn't make geneer post a photo of himself in his underpants, it might put me off my New Year's dinner.

    Thats right. It was all just a big trick.
    Page after page after page of RM faking a mental breakdown in order to force me to print the evidence which negates just about every foaming post he's made in the last week or so.

    Gosh, I fell right for it too.
    Completely obliterated his every boss-eyed utterance.
    Just as he planned from the start.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Could. Not. Make. It. Up.

    I must say, its really nice of you guys to join RM now.
    I had though the distinct lack of support infered that you all didn't want to be pulled down with the sinking ship.
    Happily, you all jumped in for a swim at the most opportune time.

    ;)

    So lets summarise the non-bull strategic movements of the last week.

    1) THERES NO WAY GENEER OWNS HA HA ITS THE FUNNIEST THING IVE EVER SEEN.
    to
    2) THE WIDTH OF THAT WEE RECTANGE TELLS ME THAT THE MORTGAGE ON THE HOUSE YOU CLEARLY OWN
    MAY OF MAY NOT BE BIG COMPARED TO YOUR INCOME. OR NOT. HA HA ITS THE FUNNIEST THING IVE EVER SEEN.
    to
    3) WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT WE THINK? HA HA ITS THE FUNNIEST THING IVE EVER SEEN
    to
    4) I WAS ONLY KIDDING ALL ALONG. BY PROVING BEYOND ANY DOUBT JUST HOW SPECTACULARLY WRONG I WAS
    FROM THE START YOUVE TOTALLY FALLEN INTO MY TRAP. HA HA ITS THE FUNNIEST THING IVE EVER SEEN.

    Not that the non-bulls are sore and graceless losers or anything.

    As I told you before I actually believe you bought a house, but what I find funny (and very weird) is you squirming around and even posting your bank statements on an online forum You really have been a very entertaining performing seal every time Reno man throws you a fish.

    Can you tell the difference between people genuinely giving a s**t and taking the p**s?

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Come now chessnorris. Its not as if I expect an unbiased, unbitter rational critique from your good self.

    You weren't stupid enough to argue against something that was obviously true. Well done you.
    But then again, believing whats obviously true doesn't exactly qualify you for Mensa.

    But you are precisely stupid enough to throw your insubstantial weight behind RMs comical "it was all a trick" fall back position.

    Yep, chessnorris called it. I fell for it. In the same way as Luke Skywaker fell for Darth vaders plan to blow up the death star.

    Thanks for the coda.
    You have a good one mate. ;)

    I can indeed wotsits.
    When the fall back positions become ever more comically biased, transparent and misguided, it becomes quite clear that you genuinely care quite a lot.

    Taking the p**s is waiting until the end before delivering my BOOM HEADSHOT! And you guys said I couldn't do timing. :rotfl:

    All the best dear.

    I'm not throwing my weight behind anything. I'm merely saying that for the last few days RM has made a fool of you, he even had you so riled and seething that you posted your bank statement on this forum

    I also can't understand the secrecy over your mortgage, didn't you say that its a 75% mortgage and that you bought for (I forget what you said cos I read it via a link to CC) about 235-240k. So wouldn't that make your mortgage around 175k (ish).

    Anyway I hope that you recover tonight after a few drinks, Happy New year. I'm off to have a few drinks myself now. Don't let RM get to you, it's only an internet forum and who cares if they believe you or not. If I was you I would calm down and think about what you are doing. Frankly posting your bank statement on here is outrageously weird.

    Yet here you are chessnorris.
    Its almost as if theres no relationship between what you type and reality.

    I did put down a 25% deposit. The rest of it is pure fantasy on your part. Its almost as if theres no relationship between what you type and reality.

    As opposed to RM, who posted his bank statement on this forum. :rotfl:
    Still, evident hypocricy and embittered bias aside its nice that you support RM in his moment of need,
    despite his humiliating meltdown.

    Presumably, having found yourself in a similar situation, you can empathise.

    Nope you are wrong yet again (one would think you would get fed up being wrong, maybe you have a short term memory problem :rotfl: ). I'm not supporting RM I'm merely laughing at you.

    Although your bank statement fiasco must have been humiliating enough for you it's a good job nobody on the forum suggested that you had a large bottom otherwise you would no doubt have posted photos of yourself in your underpants asking the forum 'does my bum look big in this' :rotfl:
