This thread should be renamed "the Aaron and Bjauck whinge."

Your irrational rants just sound like sour grapes. Get off your butts and get on with life rather than finding other people to blame for your inadequacies. There is an old saying that " the harder I work the luckier I get".

There's as much tall poppy syndrome around here as there is in the wider community, I've discovered.

Here's another quote for you 777:

"What are the odds that people will make smart decisions about money if they don't need to make smart decisions--if they can get rich making dumb decisions? "

If you're going to make an omelette, you're going to have to have some frank and honest discussion with the eggs.

You would expect poppies to grow tall if they have been given all the right conditions and were pampered by the head gardener

And what about poppies that grow tall amongst the harshest of conditions whilst having a head gardener that was a monster.
