    Yes; regardless of your anecdotal, the world continues not to revolve around you.

    Plenty of people can continue to do fine during a recession; we're not talking about the apocalypse. However unemployment is high, wage inflation is low and our national debt is around £16,000 per person and rising by nearly £2,000 per person per annum. Hardly a tale of a booming economy.

    Look at how honestly you represent your situation on here; this is an effectively anonymous forum, the fact that what is said and what is real bare little if any resemblance is to be expected.

    He is indeed a master of somthing i wonder why earning that kind of money a site like this is an attraction ,i also would love to employ him in his role as a consultant (i believe) as i must need a man of his great knowledge somewhere in my business empire .
    so please send me a link to you in a profesional capacity and i promise if i possibly can i will use your expertise and pay you a healthy bonus on top of your meagre earnings ...

    I'd give him a job. His relentless crusade to to persuade people that the economy is fine and house prices are going up shows an incredible amount of focus and drive.

    If he could adapt that to business he'd be unstoppable.


    So you'd employ a total liar?

    I'm just picturing the interview...

    Rooney earns far more than me ... is he clever? Hmmmmmmm.

    He gets paid what he does because he is the best at what he does, or one of the best.

    I am one of the best at what I do ..... £1500 was common for a days work/consultancy until the last rise in my rate a few weeks ago.

    And I am, by no means, the highest paid where I consult!

    Your earnings seem to be on a very steep upward trajectory. I think, not so long back, you claimed you were earning £700 a day, now it's over double that.

    I wonder where this will end, £5000 a day ? an hour ? I think the only consulting you need to do is with a psychiatrist.

    Clearly you failed to recognise the irony in my post.

    Isn't it somewhat unusual behaviour for a middle-aged woman to be talking about licking bumholes?

    Have you visited the Debt-Free Wannabe board lately?

    On second thoughts, please don't. I can well imagine what you'd say to people over there and it's the last thing they need.
