The Jimmy page influence stands out a mile in John Squires playing....Love Spreads is another good example

Just watched a rerun of that documentary tonight on BBC4 i think. I agree fantastic band...me and a few pals saw them in 1982 and believe me they were every bit as good as reported in the documentary........one of those gigs you never forget! They dont make 'em like that anymore!...........<sigh> From: From:

Nice tunes boys!..takes me back to my misspent youth! Not strictly Punk/New Wave but from the same era. The very first "proper"gig that i went to was this lot.......fab! RIP Lee Brilleaux From: From: From:

Yes I can see that happening. Some will try to get out as they see prices falling, but the other scenario is that there will come a point near the bottom of the market where buying once again becomes a viable option over renting. The overlevereged landlords will try to keep rents high to cover their mortgages, but if its then cheaper to buy, rental demand will dry up. Keeping with the topic of this thread, i lived through and just about survived the last HPC. I learned a lesson on the dangers of taking on too much debt but i was young and naive at the time like many of todays youngsters who will get burned this time around That HPC was a walk in the park compared to what we are about to see!

I havent read all the arguments on this thread, but i am in the Bubb camp on this one. I think this is "it"..the final capitulation where the masses finally realise that the property boom is well and truely over! I expect to see high single/low double digit falls over the next 2 years years before a gradual levelling out and bottoming around year 2000 levels (maybe lower if we see large interest rate rises) I would really like to trade up but will have to see how things look in the property market when we get close to the bottom.

Yea, MM is always up for a good thought provoking video!....lol Not really a massive fan myself but hes done a handful of tunes that i really like..the rest is instantly forgettable!

Stalled auctions herald 2011 house price falls The prices of properties sold at auction slumped in December heralding falls for the wider market, according to a financial forecaster. An index, due to be published later today, will show the discount between homes under the hammer and the wider market was 26% last month, widening sharply from 20% in November. The Zoopla Auction Price Index is compiled with economic forecaster Fathom Consulting, and aims to forewarn of wider market moves by tracking activity at auctions. Its accuracy in doing so has yet to be proved but it has made some correct calls in recent years, most notably plunging to 40% several months before the wider market hit rock bottom in March 2009. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/mortgages-and..._id=57&ct=5

I tend to switch off when i read Martin Ellis' comments! I was house hunting in 1994 and the biggest problem at that time was negative equity. I put realistic offers in on two properties and the vendors rejected them as they had a minimum selling price. I was a little early in that HPC so the vendors actually did me a favour as the house prices dropped even further over the next few years

I am tracking the halifax index and this seems a bit optimistic to me...we are already at 2004 levels! House prices to fall to 2004 levels House prices this year will plunge as much as 10pc to their lowest level since 2004 after suffering a far sharper decline than expected last month, economists have warned. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbys...004-levels.html

Takes me back to my very first proper car that I had......a Chrysler Alpine with a massive sound system in it! The ICE was worth more than the car! I had a Psychedelic Furs EP cassette that i played & played until it just about wore itself out! Was gonna post this a while back but the sound quality of the tracks on offer was very poor. Spot the singer that isnt sure if hes Bowie or Lydon.... From:

Some nice tunes there. Teardrop is a classic!

I am open minded enough to consider both sides to the inflation/deflation debate and I enjoy Prechters views, but when i listen to him, the logic for deflation just does not stack up to my reasoning. Hes a very articulate speaker without a doubt, but i get the feeling that he could mould any financial scenario into his deflationary view. For me, I just dont feel i can take his opinions seriously. I have the utmost respect for someone who can hold their hands up and say they are wrong, and i agree Prechter should have done this some time ago

I listened to that interview again over xmas and i think that JP played a blinder there. Its almost as if he boxed Prechter into a corner by asking specific questions such as those....and Prechter shouldnt really have committed by giving such a definitive answer.

WTF??? Quite like that one although i dont know who the hell they are!

I always felt that The Sundays were heavily influenced by this lot..... From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAckMJd8zlA From:
