Just an information post... So here we are a year later.

Are Scottish house prices house prices or lower?

Higher. Don't need to look. You wouldn't resurrect the thread otherwise.

It's not as if you are going to resurrect any of the threads where I stated inflation would still be above 2% at this point and you argued I was an idiot, are you?

Considering you started this thread as a windup, you can't really take the moral high ground when it comes back and bites you on the bum.

If you live by the sword....

Interesting that you start a thread on Scottish house prices just to try and mock and point score over the Scottish contingent of homeowners on this forum just because they had fallen and then try and claim the moral high ground.

You're pathetic.

Just out of interest, how exactly has it "bitten me on the bum"?

What was I wrong about?

How have I been bitten?

The thread stated house prices in Scotland were falling. They were 13 months ago when it was started.

It's now 13 months later. Prices are not falling in Scotland. Things have changed, as they do.

So what, out of sheer interest, is going on in your head to suggest I have somehow been caught out?

What is the next move? Drag a thread up from 2008 and say "ha, see, were not crashing at all"?

And all this, I assume, is an attempt to make me look silly? Why? I haven't even been on today and certainly haven't said anything that could have got your back up over the past couple of days. So what was chucky's motivation?

I do find the psychology of this fascinating. It's not even working. As you can probably tell, the more I ignore you guys and let it pass, the more it get's to you. I kinda feel for you, as theres something eating you up and if I don't feed it, you seem to go into overdrive trying to feed it yourselves.

If you don't think it's 'bitten you on the bum' then why such a long response to my post and why the response to chucky's post?

That was a very long post to do a lot of ignoring with...

You even lie to yourself to make you feel better. There's your psychological flaw. Pathetic.

As I say I'm interested in the psycology. Apologies for the long post. If a tiny sentence meaning nothing at all, saying nothing at all but a meaningless soundbite is more acceptable to you I'll bear it in mind for the future.

So, do you have an answer to the bitten on bum question, or was it just another thoughtless post you hoped would achieve something? I'm taking it you don't....as for the life of me, I can't see how this thread has bitten me on the bum.

Anyway, I've given you a snack, and while having some of you like puppets on strings, where I can say one simple sentence and you fall over yourselves to throw abuse here there and everywhere, sometimes for days after the event as its still eating you up, for the rest of us, it's ruining the forum. And I don't want to be part of that. Seemingly I don't need to say anything at all to get a mention on nearly every page of every thread. So toodlepip for now. I'll look forward to the "he's having another breakdown" response.

He's had it explained to him and he still doesn't get it, you should know better than expect a member of the sub-species to not let it go above his head.

Jeeze Graham, do you re-read this drivel after you've posted it?

It's just not that difficult. You created a thread to wind up Hamsh because Scottish house prices fell. Fast forward several months and house prices have risen, so chucky does an identical post to wind you up.

With me so far? As I said, it really isn't that difficult.

So you now respond in an "I'm above all this, you're abusive" stylee. It's laughable Graham. You have reaped what you have sown, I can't explain it any simpler than that.....

... oh hold on, here we go! LOL, you almost had me. This is the start of one of your muddlings isn't it? Where you pretend not to understand a simple concept, or mathematic equation and we spend pages trying to explain it to you.

LOL, nice try Mr Muddle but I'm not falling for it!! :rotfl::rotfl:

I don't see it that way. To be frank, you do that perfectly well on your own....

Let me put it this way, as diplomatically as I can. If I saw a colleague walking around with his flies open, I would almost certainly tell him about it. That would not be rude, but simply a helpful 'comment'. He's made a mistake, as all of us do.

Now if I were to find him, say, 9 times in the same day, and every day, with his flies open, I would start to think of only two possibilites. Firstly, he could deliberately be drawing attention to himself and deliberately making this sartorial mistake. Or the other possibility is that he repeatedly fails to learn from his mistake or eccentricity.

It would be no surprise, therefore, if each time I pointed it out, I might get a bit more irritated each time.

Now don't confuse this with, say, the colour of his trousers. They could be baggy multicoloured things that I wouldn't wear if my life depended on it. No matter. I would defend his right to wear such silly (in my opinion) trousers, but after the 112th time of pointing out his flies were open, don't be surprised if I criticised the colour and cut as well. Don't be surprised if the whole office sniggered, became critical, and perhaps started enjoying 'having a go', calling him 'Mr Flasher' or whatever...

Then consider that if this person then decided not to keep making the mistake (flies open), but kept wearing the same trousers (that looked silly to me), then I could live with that. Future discussions would start to become far more civilised and polite, and we could have a sensible debate on all the different types of trousers.

If, on the other hand, this guy didn't take any care, and continued to make this simple mistake time and time again, I would tend to think he was either completely stupid, deliberately provocative, or just plain weird.

I suspect no-one's asking you to wear more conventional trousers. But I can hear loud voices telling you to do your flies up for your own good.... but equally loud voices saying no, keep them undone because we enjoy [and have the perfect right] to tell you we don't like your trousers, and why don't you 'shut the flies up' or words to that effect.
