What's that shortchanged...



As predicted, shortchanged is back to making sly digs in the hope that people will forget the drubbing he received at my hands on this thread. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

In your dreams renoman. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Tee hee. I'm sure you've just convinced everyone that you're still not smarting from your forum drubbing and subsequent 'flounce'.

Do you have idea how childish you look??


And the more ROFL smileys you use the more I convinced you are really spitting blood, and another suggestion would be to stop attacking posters by starting with "we think you are....blah blah", it makes you look like a playground runt with the big boys behind you to back you up.

Anyway here is me with fingers crossed

So you weren't leaping in with both left feet to try and score a cheap internet point against one of your internet enemies?

Instead it was a dastardly plan to carefully deliver us to this point before you delivered the killer blow. I can see now that's exactly what you were doing. You cunning fox.;)

I was having fun. Surely that's denoted by the wink?

We've now had 2 pages, of you deducing that I was wrong (when actually, I was right, the article does state, implicity, the double-dip will be over), and that I was playing a game and ribbing Hamish a bit due to his use of the beer icon. I thought that was clear. Others (9 others) appeared to get it. Only the usuals apparently couldn't get it.

Of course I was playing with Hamish...that's the very point of the wink!!! Well done Sherlock. Why it takes two or three of you to protect him is what you should be asking yourselves!

You'll note Hamish did the same to me the other day when he could. I stated I was wrong to someone and he jossled in with a one liner. You didn't fall over yourself to do this! Hamish can take it, so can I, but you and renoman just have to pick up every single opportunity given to you and take it as far as you can.

The very fact I put the wink in suggests I'm poking Hamish.

LOL. Devon is giving us comedy gold today! :rotfl::rotfl:

Why? The GDP figures for Q2 do not confirm that the article quoted by the OP is incorrect:

"According to the ITEM Club, the economy will return to growth over the final six months of the year, boosted by falling inflation and a pick-up in consumer spending."

Based on the accuracy of their "predictions" and the headline of this thread it can only be a matter of time before the confirmation occurs.

Yep, you're doing a sterling job trying to convince people you're not still bearing a grudge after your forum trouncing and subsequent flounce. :cool:

Almost as well as DervProfs occasional digs to prove the double fact that he's not still smarting from his past drubbings and he is also not bothered that I have more wealth than him. :rotfl:

You do all realise all this fluff is nonsense.

The ITEM club had two parts to it....the first part was suggesting that (and I quote) "Britains double-dip recession over".

Is it over? Yes or no? No!

So you need to get a grip.I came in and stated "ahh well". You all fell over yourselves to prove a point that doesn't exist. The funniest thing is watching you all do it.

Britiains double dip is not over. Ahh well. Onwards and upwards.

Oh and...

No Graham, you prize ninny....

The prediction (that the recession is over) was made in Q3.

It's Q3 now. The data released today was for Q2.

We won't know if it's over or not for another 3 months.

Now, I don't know how you read into things Hamish, but the article clearly states...."Britains double-dip recession is over, and the recovery is gathering steam".

I have learnt English. Maybe it's different for you scots. But when someone states "is over"it usually means it's over. Not that it will be over in 3 months time.

Now, I may not have got a grade A* in English, but I'm pretty certain that if someone is suggesting the double dip recession will be over in 3 months time, they would state "Will be over in 3 months time" or "will be over in Q3".

Again, I don't know how you read things, but to try and tell me someone stating "the double dip is over" is actually them saying "will be over in 3 mnths time" is a little much for me to compute.

Britain's double-dip recession is over and the recovery is gathering steam, the Ernst & Young ITEM Club, one of the UK's leading forecasters, has said.

It either is over....or it will be over. As they say it is over, and since then, we've dived deeper into recession, it would take some skill to try and persuade me, and probably many others, that they just got tounge tied, or that they actually mean something different.

However, you read it how you like Hunny, you'll claim you are right anyway
