HAMISH_MCTAVISH Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 What a wonderfuly professional manner you have when posting on here. I post on here precisely because I don't have to maintain a professional manner when dealing with idiots, like I do IRL. So I'd suggest you indulge in some self-copulation.

Harry Monk Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thats easy, it's because life stopped having meaning when we weren't allowed to kill the English any more.....But seriously, I really wondered if there was some reason. I could actually understand if, for example, they were taking turns being the lead vehicle to improve fuel consumption for the one behind or something, and if slowing down to be passed would mean using a lot of fuel to speed up again..... But it's happening a lot lately, and I can assure you there is NOTHING more frustrating than steaming up behind a pair of the numpties only for one to suddenly pull out and crawl past the other, taking 3-5 minutes to do so and creating a big Q of traffic behind them. There are inconsiderate HGV drivers, just as there are inconsiderate car drivers. This is a manifestation of the Law of Unintended Consequences which was applied when trucks started to be fitted with speed limiters back in the 1990s. Obviously, poor driving is more noticeable with HGVs than with cars because of their greater physical presence. I will just remind you once again though, and the link has been posted here before (for the benefit of our friend above who knows how to use the search function), that the per vehicle kilometre acccident rate for HGVs is approximately half that of cars, and this is because we are better drivers than you.

three pint princess Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 If this Reuters poll is accurate the Bulls have until 2011 to start buying with a 2% rise in that year. Along with the nominal falls likely real values will be even lower but inflation that far out is hard to predict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's not very professional to say "Why the F*CK would you want to buy a house from us now, you F*CKTARD when it will be 20% cheaper next year" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil B Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 So I'd suggest you indulge in some self-copulation. I dont need to - I sold at the peak so I use all the money on cocaine and prostitutes.... as already posted previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there isn't a reason they have to do it. They're just being UUankers. Fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to slate all HGV drivers at all, I'm sure most are very good. Just been happening so much lately, I had assumed there may be a reason for it.

singlemalt Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 '...The Consensus Opinion, from economists and analysts Are these the same economists and analysts that saw the whole economic debacle coming in the first place? If so then their opinions aren't worth $h1t. When we've bottomed it'll be patently clear to everyone including the most Bearish of Bears, there just won't be a debate anymore. -20% still to go (Minimum).

There will be, it's just that everybody will have deserted this site and gone to Housepriceboom.co.uk instead. Only trouble is, nobody has started it yet.

zebbedee Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Hamish I have a serious question for you, how much would the bullishness have cost you* if you were to reallise losses at this moment in time rather than having seen that the housing market was on a precipice 18 monthsish ago? *Assuming you own property.

Nothing. I'm on a tracker, my mortgage is 500 per month less than rent would be. The house is still worth more than it was when I bought it in Jan 07. I've had capital gains PLUS lower monthly costs.
