    It doesn't seem that you do not what goes on around you because you've got yourself all confudled and grasping at straws on this thread.

    This happens a lot with the bears. They have an almost religious belief in The Crash and often tie themselves up into logic knots because a lot of what they say flies in the face of what they 'believe'.

    It's wonderful to watch when they have travelled so far down a discussion and then realise that they have trapped themselves and undermined their base demi-religious crash beliefs. The rapid backtracking and confustication is a delight to witness. Thrugelmir and shortbrained do it a lot. :rotfl:

    Can't say any fairer than that really, though feel your efforts are very much wasted here. They are not interested in anything you have to say as you've been labelled and thats that.

    I believed a double dip recession was going to happen. I got told to look on the bright side, it wouldn't happen (conrad & others). It did.

    I believe the worst is yet to come. Maybe it will, maybe it won't.


    The last line says it all.....

    I think it is a matter of balance.
    I'm sure we all remember Gordon Brown when he refused to utter the R word, and kept banging on about how we were going to talk ourselves into a R.....

    Meanwhile the entire banking system was falling apart and he was blaming the press for being pessimistic.

    Hedge funds and the insurance industry make a fortune out of it.

    Someone with no friends by the looks of the thanks count on that post!

    Please tell us you said that in jest.

    Are we blaming Gordon Brown or are we blaming the banking system for the economic crisis?

    LOL at this thread. It's just an outpouring of juvinile nonsense. You can't say anything without it being picked up on and something made of it.

    Least it's kept some very happy!

    However, if your trying to get rid of a poster, it's probably working. Seriously what is the point when you cannot say a simple sentence without 5 or 6 posters coming along, twisting to the extreme and then giggling with each other like little schoolgirls.

    Aha...

    I've just noted house prices are down again this month. Makes sense of all the giggling with each other now! Wrong again eh fellas!?

    Conrad, I've posted up the data. I am, however, ignoring it completely, just for you, as I heard house prices in Cuba had increased 0.13%.
