    So one is far better to sit on one’s ass and do nothing?

    Yeah, right. I wish that crowd every success :rolleyes:
    We were posting about taking action!!!

    I for one wasn’t talking about working for someone ;)
    Totally disagree but I believe life is a gamble, a far, far bigger gamble than buying a house :p.
    Who said they were lazy?

    I for one did not use or imply that word :rolleyes:

    Maybe there is a chip, a log, a forest, ... on their shoulder.

    I read somewhere that, if one has this infliction, it drains all of the goodness/nutrients from one’s brain

    It is not my scene - I am a “ man of action” :D

    Can you try it (say for the remainder of your time on this earth) and report back :p

    Are you referring to the how it would have felt at the time. In retrospect, we all feel like geniuses for buying property. But are you saying that in the context of the moment, and without the benefit of hindsight, investing feels like gambling?

    some of the shots i failed to take would have hit me in the knee-cap ( or GASP the wallet )

    sometimes luck works both ways , you get some good bits , and you miss some BAD bits

    i think my GP would rather not that i became 'a man of action ' again

    i have so many scars , very few actually stand out ( the hint is i DON'T tan , not even the fake lotion )

    ( 3 cancer ops to my head and you can't tell the difference now the dark bits are gone , LOL )
