Social capital - the new capitalism?

carolt

Thanks Really. I obviously misjudged you.

Promise not to take it personally in future...it's just money, after all.....

It does seems strange for carolt to have to create a thread about herself in this way though. Rather narcisistic and nothing really to do with the economy, recession or house prices. I'm surprised it's not been moved to DT already.

I'm sorry you felt it was narcissistic - it wasn't meant to be about me, it was meant to be about alternative ways of viewing the world, and the economy/recession (not house prices particularly, I agree) - rather than about me. Apologies if that didn't come across clearly.

Obviously, money, and having enough of it, is important to people - but given that we are all fortunate enough to live in a country where our basic needs are met, I just wanted to refocus on the need to look beyond money at things that, in reality, matter more - social interaction, for example. If someone wants to move it to DT, that's fine by me.

Hope you had a good day, Harry.

I really misjudged you carolt. I thought you were always angry. I now realise you occasionally smoke weed.

I do realise it must sound like that.

But promise I've not been smoking or ingesting anything stronger than chocolate (though obviously, that's pretty powerful stuff....).

Just reread that and realised it sounded like I could have been smoking the chocolate. :eek: I haven't. I promise.

If I really am, as posters on this thread have suggested, 'rude', 'arrogant' and 'narcissistic', then it is clearly lucky I've had a gentle wake-up call. Or maybe I was never quite as bad as I was cracked up to be?

Who can say.

Sweet dreams, all.

Have a lovely tomorrow.

PS Hope the new sweetness and light me isn't making you vomit.

If you're good I'll buy you this.

Thanks. The chocolate bar looks OK if a tad overpriced (though I think I prefer my Wispas au naturel, without gold leaf, personally), but whatever happened to Tony Hadley? He seems to have morphed into David Cameron.

(And that's not me being b1tchy, just factual - I'm still on 'Lovely FYI.)
