    Can just see you sitting there with a massive grin on your face, smug in the knowledge that someone else is having a hard time, but you are just dandy.

    Me too, in a satisfyingly 'young obnoxious hoodie gets a damn good beating from old woman' kind of way. Sort of heartwarming really.

    It most certainly is. :beer:

    Well this is one fine moment for the forum.
    It's a great moment for the forum actually.

    This is a great opportunity for people who wouldn't be able to buy a house at the moment just like David Cameron and George Osborne say...
    Prime Minister David Cameron said: "Help to Buy is going to make the dream of home ownership a reality for many who would otherwise have been shut out."

    Chancellor George Osborne said: "Too many people are still being denied the dream of owning their own home, which is why we have brought forward the launch of this scheme, so as of today borrowers can start applying for a mortgage with a 5% deposit."

    Only a nasty jealous person wouldn't want another person to be in a position to buy their own home. You're not one of them are you...

    Remember when Graham said the same thing to Brit in 2008?

    No, me neither.

    Don't think the forum even existed, to be fair....otherwise, I might have.

    That's if the forum existed and if Brit has suggested nothing gives him more pleasure that witnessing others losing out.

    Unlikely I'd say the same thing to him otherwise.

    Goodness me Graham is paraphrasing again.

    And yes it did exist in 2008, you might remember that's when the crash actually happened.

    Yep. As I said, not sure this board existed in 2008.

    Believe it was created in 2009.

    Ah I see, you're using the change of name as some kind of defence.

    Doesn't really matter what the board is called does it? Could have been a different website altogether, my point still stands, you're a hypocritical little worm.

    It wasn't a change of name. The board simply didn't exist.

    My apologies, didn't realise you just wanted to make accusatory, false comments without a response. Pardon me. Carry on with the propoganda and I promise not to interupt your made up claims directed straight at me.
