Just been thinking. The "HPC-meets" that have occurred several times in the past seem to be a popular way to meet the faces behind the regular-posters here and find out a bit more about them. However, they are normally in London, and most people obviously can't get there conveniently.

So how about a virtual HPC meet. Someone could create a "Facebook" group for HousePriceCrash.co.uk, and posters can add themselves to it to find out a bit more about eachother.

I'm not entirely sure how you go about setting up a Group on facebook, so if anyone who knows what their doing could volunteer to set up a group, that would be helpful.


Once we have a group, I guess people should post on this thread to indicate who they are, otherwise there will be no way of associating posters with their facebook profiles.

Any takers?

Er, NO!

Can we start a STR group and invite Bruno to join?

facebook/myspace can burn in.....

whats wrong with the HPC forum?

Alternatively, setting up a "lets tell more about ourselves" thread here would achieve the same.

And is a bit less hassle.

OK, I have a confession....

...Surfgatinho is not my real name

What's Facebook? Is that where all the pictures of my drunken teenage kids end up? Er....no thanks

I have no desire to end up in one of Gordon's Eco Gulags when Comrade Yvette Cooper makes it a thought crime to discuss house price deflation on an internet forum.

Great idea getting to know the balanced and cheerful members on this forum a bit better sounds like alot of FUN.

It would be like an intimate party at Dennis Neilsons

Mmmmmm Can't wait

It would be worth creating a group to spread the truth to youth

My real name in Julie.

It's the old story, mum and dad really wanted a girl, yadda yadda. I don't mind it now but obviously the first 30 odd years of my life were a living hell from which I may never fully recover.



When I were nobbut a nipper we used to call that "going out". Now with Tesco Home Delivery, Internet banking and Facebook, there's no need to ever step outside the front door again.

(Now you know how I've racked up nearly 5000 posts on here!)

To tell you the truth I don't look like a fishfinger....

It was a good idea but I am not seeing many buying signals

Bruno? No I want to meet his girlfriend Sarah:

What a babe! lol

OK, I start with a confession: I have lots of bullion, I have a cat, and I have a German accent.

And I don't live in a hole and rival the fox for nocturnal snuffling and general English-wildlife related activity.

and mine is ty.

I've made 2 posts on this and both have been removed, why?

[Moderator: Because the sexual nature of your humour was considered inappropriate]

Do you like my gun?

Who can blame people for that? If I'd signed up for a lifetime of crushing debt to pay for a massively overpriced house, I'd stay indoors forever just to make sure I was getting maximum value for money.

Bit paranoid aren't we?

I signed up to facebook a few months back, don't have many pictures of myself,
mainly just new world order quotes and other stuff to scare the shit out of my "friends".



I've sort of resigned to the fact that a HPC is a done deal, and pretty hard/impossible
sell to people with their already made up minds.

A lot of people are going to get totally screwed, and there is nothing that can be done
to save them sadly.

I have a confession.
I live abroad and own property.

I did some ill considered things when I was younger, but I think I've learnt from the experience.

One thing that always puzzled me about the Exterminators is their (ahem) impractical clothing. Has global warming by the year 2293 become so pronounced that only the lightest clothing is needed? But what about UV radiation? Did Zed and his merry band have to slap on the Factor 50 before going out and massacring a few Brutals. Not quite in keeping with their image is it?

These are the questions which keep me awake at 3:00 AM.


If you work from home you can at least get the full benefit. If you work in an office, you're forced to be away from your highly expensive purchase for approx. 9-10 hours a day (ironically just so that you can earn the money to keep it).

What about secondlife? Now that is FREAKY, Had to test a linux alpha and was actually quite taken by it.

We could get the government and VI's quaking by holding a Facebook protest!

I'm told I resembled Roger Moore during his "Persuaders" era

surely not...

Let's hope the resemblance didn't carry over to his dress sense at the time.

I used to like shirts like that till someone said I resembled Harry Hill.

Old Rog seems to have stolen Jon Pertwee's Doctor Who outfit in that shot.

no, i would be worried about nutters, known and unknown...

Heh, sounds like my facebook profile. I also have a house price crash graph as my profile pic, which someone on here did (I hope you don't mind )

I personally wouldn't want anyone to be part of my facebook network who I didn't already know.

Facebook, Bebo & the rest are just the 21st century version of CB Radio, and I should know...


"That's a big ten four, good buddy. what's your 'twenty'?

This is 'The Jizz Slinger' signing off - ten ten see you again.."


<Blushes...>

I, also, don't look like a fishfinger.

Hope not anyway.

I prefer this to be honest

Ah....the innocence of youth

Ask a Burmese monk if he would put his thoughts on Facebook (if he was able to). If you don't think the UK could ever get to that point then you're trusting but sadly naive. It could happen in a heartbeat. And at precisely the moment you change your view on the intrusive power and control of big govt. and decide you might like to have a different govt. will be exactly the time you might find that the same govt. tags you, withdraws your priveledges, closes down your internet account, takes your job away and finds that your DNA/CCTV image was at the scene of a horrendous crime.

I'm not paranoid, just careful.

I think it was about 1971-1973 when frilly/ruffled shirts were really "in". That and crushed velvet jackets. It was the uniform of the Playboy Adventurer. I seem to remember the likes of Jason King, Jerry Cornelius (Film version of The Final Program) and even Jimi Hendix wearing them.

Austin Powers, having time travelled from around that era, sported the crushed velvet jacket and frilly shirt, but couldn't carry it off as well as this man.

Naaa..thats me..ok I don't have the money nor a cat...

And, more immediately, having searchable stuff under your real name on the interweb is a really bad idea if you're even vaguely thinking about applying for a job with a vaguely technically aware employer.

Here is my picture and you can read every thing about me and my best friend

Agreed. There's a certain security afforded by anonymity that, while arguably unnecessary at this point in time, may become necessary at some point in the future.

What ends up on the internet tends to stay on the internet, somewhere, in some shape or form. Or if not the internet then a private network, a backup tape, or some other digital media.

Can I get you as a facebook friend? Your profile sounds interesting.

Yes I guess that's possible.

However I don't really consider posting to this forum under the guise "dr doom" is that anonymous either.

TPTB probably have the technology to ascertain who I am from the email address / ip address i am using to post.
