    There are 100,000's of families with £50k plus of equity struggling to feed themselves and keep warm? Does the fairy tale end with frightened indebted homeowners selling their houses in unison allowing you to pick one up on the cheap?

    Keep dreaming.



    No??

    It's probably more your philosopy but in reverse, remember?:)

    "Those fussy people that cannot find a property because they expect too much in areas they cannot afford" the people who "need to get rid of their sense of entitlement"..

    Whats the word you keep using... Hypocrite, thats it:)


    p.s before you post your reply, let me do it for you..

    "Abusive twitter account, I talk cr*p, blah blah, I am mentally ill, I want people to die in their beds, blah blah, all made up etc etc"

    There done:)


    p.s Have you been stood outside my front door yet?, say Hi next time.

    Surely there should just cancel sky and sell their iphones first.

    And that is a very good point. All the claims of poverty become slightly less believable when all the other non-priorities are still being paid for. Maybe I'm strange but feeding the kids & heating the house might be more important than having Sky...

    My philosophy in reverse has got nothing to do with it.

    Your cure for poverty i.e. poor people sell their houses to release £50k equity, if you'd thought about it, is stupid. Very few people, maybe some old people, are struggling to feed themselves whilst sitting on a ton of equity.

    Thanks for the invite BTW - I'm flattered but as I've said before I'm not in the market for an angry sparky. Can't you find a man your own age?

    I'm thinking of moving to your area. It sounds great - even the people living in poverty have £50k worth of equity in their houses.

    Bit worried about the local nutter though.



    If the cap fits...


    Do you know what I find the most strangest thing about your posts wotsthat, it's the tone of a man that is supposedly so happy and got it together.

    I will happily admit that in recent years my life has taken a turn for the worse and not gone exactly to plan(as you constantly try so hard to tell me what I already know and with great joy), but that is ok:), because that is life, and like Oliver Stone said "keep your powder dry and your pecker **** and the world will turn".

    But when I have been more settled and happier the last thing that I would have ever done or even needed to do would have been to post like you do on this site in the style that you do. Why would you?? why spoil a good thing, why would you go gunning for "troubled people like me" when you should be feeling blessed and lucky, I know I did not go around kicking people when they are down and I was happy, but to each his own.

    One day hopefully I will be settled down again(of that I am pretty certain), and the last thing I will want to do is come to sites such as this to snipe and b***ch with people I am supposedly more happy then, how odd!!

    I sincerely hope you are in a lovely family home and safe and comfortable and secure, why would I want to hope otherwise.

    Why go to all that trouble finding out where I live, what I do, what I look like then?:)

    Have a good evening Wotsthat, and I sincerely hope you are as happy as you let on.:)

    My scuffles with you are more often than not retaliatory at your joy of my troubles with the odd bit of unfairness on my part at times. If my troubles bring you so much joy, well then good luck to you, I still wish you well in your own home(and hope it continues).

    p.s ... can't help it, but I do have a decent stash put away:), but it really is irelevant to anything I post on here

    Sorry to hear you've had a hard time buddy. You've gotta admit that you do open yourself up to some abuse though with some of the rubbish you say. You're a very dominant character on this forum and it's only natural for those who disagree with your (largely very wrong and silly) opinions to chime in. When you consistently fail to learn, the debate then turns to arguing. You also haven't helped your cause by posting conflicting stories under multiple user accounts, which I think is where you lost the respect of the board. Once a bullsh*tter, always a bullsh*tter, at least on the Internet.

    I'll lay off a bit. Hope you sort your sh*t out.

    It wasn't any trouble at all - googling @grantshapps self cert took a couple of seconds. Try it - people pay a fortune to get to the top of google.

    What you look like I don't know - I thought we were still pretending you were that bloke from the rugby club in Wales.
