The people rubbing their hands about the falling house prices need to bear in mind that it hasn't happened due to a sudden collective realisation that house prices were too high. The economic downturn that brought this on and associated job losses, difficulty in borrowing etc. mean that few can go on a spending spree to take advantage of the lower prices.

Just a quick mention for them (it had to come, eventually) - but nobody's talked about subprime mortgages yet...the issue wasn't so much that the house prices were too high - that's all relative, so there's no such thing...the problem was that *lending* was too high...too many people or "ninjas" (no income, no jobs or assets), were given mortgages they should never have been given, especially in the states (with the whole republican "family home" ideology)...ultimately, when these start defaulting, we're seeing what happens:

repossessions - more houses in the market, increased supply so lower prices.
tougher lending criteria /less lending - so less money in the market, lower prices.
banks caught with bad debts - struggling banks - so higher rates, lower lending etc...
all of which lead to negative equity and the associated difficulties...

Add this to the economic downturn mentioned above and you *do* have problems...But there will still be a few people who ride the wave of the economy (I actually work in risk management, so theoretically the more mistakes the bank make the more work there is for us..) and can take advantage of the slightly more reasonable house prices and *hopefully* start to prop things up again...guess time will tell..

Resting Pulse ranges are generally considered as 60-70 for men and 70-80 for women but there are wide variations.

Yours will be somewhere close to 80 probably by the time you've relaxed for 30 mins. But its a very individual thing.

Seem to remember from checking it now and then over the years that mine tends to be on the higher side (as is my blood pressure, no matter what I do/ eat etc :rolleyes: )

30 secs x2 is the way I do it. Can't find fault with your logic there Maz.

And Beer Tins on 50 as well - this an unusual collection of low pulse rates I have to say!

Idio, you're quite right. All those things add to it. I was keeping it at a very basic level (or trying to!).
