It is weird. I posted and there were 999 posts so I thought I'd be # 1000. Then when I posted it said 1001 and it really wasn't important enough to take issue with. Now I'm back to 1000. Hey ho.

You're very kind to call me a gent. I more often get called other 4 letter words.....

That'll when you're headed for the opera with your cape on G - you probably look a proper Count.

Serves you right for winning the cake (not a Chris Morris one is it..?)

Silent 'o' right?

I was very sceptical about opera until I was dragged along to the ENO. It's fantastic. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it and all that.

i've read about half of this thread so apologies if this has been discussed before.

do you think there could be large house price drops without a recession?

Get away - 18/19th century country and western without the dead dog, and you have to wait about a month for Wagner's fat lady....

Personally, yes. If demand for houses stays at a depressed level due to an inablility of would-be borrowers to get mortgages then that should push down prices. That may in turn cause a recession due to what is known as the wealth effect.

I prefer the Italian stuff. Wagner is a wee bit heavy (not to mention long!) for me. I like to be out of the opera in time for a bit of grub.

Fairly new to all of this but very intrested. I am looking for some good advice and a bit of knowledge to help me out please.

I am living at home and will be moving out around June 2008 time. Do I look to rent or buy? How would the market impact my decision? Would I be better off waiting to buy for another year or so?

Great to hear any help, maybe look at worse and best case scenario's?

Many thanks to anyone who helps
