pdg Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 out with a mortgage trade title on a deep sea fishing beano. Unfortunately before I could gently quiz the maestro I fell sick with Sea Sickness and proceeded to puke my guts up for 6 of the worst feeling hours of my life before I could hit dry land. ****** :angry: Quizzed another chap who heads up a mortgage company on Sunday evening and he was adamant there was no problems, boom and bust is history and prices will continue to go up. I argued this for nearly two hours (guinness in hand) and he started to quieten down. It could have been he was tired, although I think it was because he genuinely didnt understand how an economy works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Peter Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Quizzed another chap who heads up a mortgage company on Sunday evening .... It could have been he was tired, although I think it was because he genuinely didnt understand how an economy works. That's probably why he's only in charge for the Sunday evening shift Peter.

He could only feel a calm, level sensation. The possibility of sharp rises and falls are not perceptible to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont worry Wiggleworth will throw up when we get the house crash, infact there will be a lot of people throwing up across the nation so dont leave your rented house without your wellies.

Are you sure the sickness wasn't due to the 'guinness in hand' (or belly) rather than the sea? Or maybe a rumour was spread that you were a HPCer and your drink was sabatarged? (Apologies - I have no idea how to spell anything!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you hit Wrigglesworth (with the puke)? If you did I'm sure you would have felt a little less bad Edited October 13, 2005 by ajh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you missed an ideal Lord Nelson "I see no (house price crash) ships" gag there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Bounce????? Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 You sure it was sea sickness? Surely the sight of that low life would be enough to make the average man puke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
right_freds_dead Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 you should have scuttled the vessel with all hands. unfurled your `hpc skull and crossbones' and boarded the pride of calais and set sail with all the property booty to the west indies.

Red Baron Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Staying stubbornly bullish, even stupidly bullish, has been the best strategy in the property market for the last ten years Amen to that. I regularly meet the CEO of one of the biggest EAs in the country which also owns a well known website that regularly produces property reports. He is a very nice man, but despite telling me that they are having 'a terrible year' is convinced that prices will continue to rise after this year's 'blip'. He puts this predicted recovery down to SIPPS and further cuts in IRs. If this entrenched thinking is prevalent at the highest level in the industry I see little hope for the EAs.
