    What surging capital values? Do surges go downwards because that is what house prices have been doing for the last year and pretty much everyone is saying they are going to fall next year as well.

    I hope your friend doesn't get his whole portfolio seized by the bank or trashed by exploited tenants.:rotfl:

    You been missing the last few days MrRee, have they just let you back out, or did the money run out on your electricity meter?

    ..

    It really is glum up here. A certain enigmatic Manchester City football player was wandering around at the weekend handing out money. How festive :)

    It seems he has caught the natural generosity bug which is present up here.
