Expert prediction for 2012: Down!

Despite the rather pointless nature of lites obsessive pedantry, allow me to furnish the forum with an analogy.

When you Hire a builder, normal people don't say "I hired a builder when the job was complete and I had paid him in full."
You say "I've hired a builder" when you both agree the contract.

When you buy a house, normal people don't say "I bought a house on the day I moved in".
You say "I bought a house" when both parties agree to the sale.

Simples.

But clearly light is far from "normal people".

You've acknowledged that the victims of your joke are interested in timing - is it part of your delicious plan to torture them further by not providing any sort of clarity whatsoever - exquisite.

And who's talking about what normal people think anyway? Even you'd surely admit that your internet behaviour is 'special'. My defence would be that whilst being undeniably odd I haven't yet started quoting Meerkats to highlight a point. (Although I do occasionally get caught having a good sing of 'I'm a secret lemonade drinker' at traffic lights - it wouldn't be so bad but I'm usually cycling).

Actually, the whole process is part of buying a house.
Offer and acceptance, completion.

Signing the missives legally commits you to completing.
If any one part had to be considered buying, this would of course be it.

I agree with this, but you claimed to have bought (past tense) in Dec 09 when this clearly wasn;t the case.

Indeed, signing of the missives legally commits you to complete the buying process, but it's only bought once you have completed, in your case Feb 10.

There's no point in discussing this further as you clearly cannot grasp the simple concept.

Like I've said, it would have been a bit of a damp squib if you'd just said congrats.

I did congratulate you, more than once.
You must have missed it as your reading glassess transfers tect into a different arrangement something that implores you to argue against regardless of the meaning.

Maybe I should have been congratulating your better half as they obviously decided to go against your wishes to become a homeowner

Speaking of comedy, you keep avoiding the most critical question.
So, as to the technical definition of bought, allow me to repeat.



Any chance of an answer. Or are you just going to keep ignoring it.

LOL, I did answer it before, again you must have missed it as the red mist decends in front of you.

"What does it matter" - It doesn't really

"Who bleeding cares" - you obviously continuin to try and squirm a "geneer" concept into the main world instead of accepting when you bought.

It's the comedy seeing you squirm that draws others in yo oust you.

As well as being a storyteller, you have the essence of the boy who cried worlf.
Every lier has their comeuppance.

You don;t like the direct analogy of looking at your mortgage papers do you?

Nevermind, tell "er indoors" congratulations on going ahead without you / getting you to agree to buy.

It really will benefit you in the long run regardless of whether you believe that or not.

Very strange that Lite didn't know what signing missives commits the buyer too and when it usually occurs in scotland.

Indeed, I'm very aware of what signing the missives commits you to.

I also am aware that if there were any delays from allowing you to complete on the agreed day, you haven't bought until you complete and you are also committed to additional interest charges on behalf of the seller.

Yet again the internet dweeb tries to call the internet geek an internet nerd.
