    Not sure I dare mention our house is up for sale and viewers have disappeared as someone will tell me to reduce the price.

    Of course viewers have disapeared, you are asking 2007 prices - drop the price by 20% each day until sold.wink.gif

    :D

    I quite like it over here. I visit most boards (not the teccie one as those guys scare me, they know their stuff rather just think they do!), but I do like reading the banter on this one, until it all goes a bit sour when a couple of posters get a little too personal and insulting, that is. I really don't get what the problem is that some of you have with carolt. I quite like her. I quite like NDGirl too. And MrB for that matter. I like LillyJ too - how can you not like anyone called Lilly? (can Lilly really be a mans name? Did I read that right?)

    Aw shucks, (hugs) to you all, even you there adr0ck, I bet you are just a little !!!!!cat in real life:)

    *edit - for petes sake, p-u-s-s-y-cat can't get through the filter!
    *edit again - I forgot PasturesNew - I like her too.
    *another edit - and lostinrates ;)

    Hi PasturesNew. See you are reading this board. here you used to live on the Cornish coast. So did I !!!!!
    My stalker count is definitely increasing in the last week .... not sure whether to be flattered people want to speak to me ... or scared.

    Yes I did Pobby. It didn't work for me. No jobs. No income. Big house/maintenance. No life.

    Hi

    I like this forum and have found it informative. I can't believe that posters who are buying now are not getting stick in the "real world" from their "real" friends and family?:confused: If any of my family and friends told me they were buying now I would try and dissuade them from doing so.

    How would your friends and family know how the market is going to go, surley a "real" family member would want to see there own family getting on in life and doing something which will make them happy. End off the day we can either do the things in life we we beleive ar the right choices OR sit in a dark room for the rest of our lives just waiting to die becuase in the current climate (not only housing) where we are waiting for good news, im afraid that could take a while

    I'm off out guys, while the internet bullying goes on.

    As I said before - if others don't like my views - tough.

    I get picked on here because I'm an easy target - vocal, and few people are brave enough to stand up and be counted against the (obvious bullies); as in real life.

    But unlike in real life, it's just words. I have no respect for those who've chosen to attack me personally, rather than my views; so it's like water off a duck's back.

    I make an exception of one particular poster who's written unpleasantly about me above; and have PM'd them accordingly. The rest of you: tough.

    If you don't like my posts don't read them. I'm not going to give up posting here because of the bullies and those trying to see if if you throw enough mud, will it stick? will find that it makes no difference to me either way.

    Have a great day! I shall!


    I had to read this twice, i couldn't believe it the 1st time...
    Carolt, how dare you turn this in to a bullying issue, i don't buy this crap and i can see right through your tactics. On numerous occasions i have read posts from you that have been abusive and belittling. I'm going to leave this now and ignore your future posts, i've made my feelings public, i should have anticipated you would turn it in to this...You have victim syndrome...The apprentice is hotting up.

    It seems I have missed all the action.

    Anyone care to summarise?

    I dislike decking. It's slippery when wet (cue for a song there) ... and a rat haven.
