OY! Keep your thieving eyes off this comfy spot under a bridge. It's all I've got left since I was evicted by DP's BTL sharks!

All Gordon's so-called blunders over the past 12 years were part of a grand master-plan to create utopia, which is just around the corner.

Yeah, rising house prices are bad news if you want a bigger house or new house. Unless you have n houses when houses have risen n times. The more house prices rise, the more houses you need to move up. Boomed.

Not your own house, but the ones you bought when there was a massive global credit boom and house prices were rising 15% per month.

Don't tell me you didn't buy and sell property over the last ten or fifteen years?

The difference is called profit and you can go out and spend it.

Rising house prices don't make you rich though, do they? It makes houses more expensive.

You have to hand it to New Labour. First they make you rich on the property bubble and then they print money and cause a bubble in everything else and you just pile in and make another fortune.

Would this 2012 doomsday scenario have something to do with IPv4 addresses running out about then?

(after a preceding run on IPv4 allocation requests, causing general panic)
