    I followed the link bo. What a strange thing to say. Perhaps the poster will be kind enough to explain the outburst as many of us on here will be scratching our heads as to what caused it.

    I noticed the poster. Bryanb, is located in "Positive Equity". The excitement of his situation seems to have had a regrettable effect on his intellect.

    Maybe the thread was based on a genuine question and the suggestion (which was just one of many) that it was to spread misery was taken as an insult. It's easy to misread and accidently bite on something. I have had posters do the same to me.

    Did they bite anything vital ?

    What does that mean? What is the difference between 100, 120 and 200%?

    100% is the normal speed that one can comfortably work at if one is quick at a job and not a slacker.

    120% is someone working to their limit but will eventually suffer burn out if they keep going at this rate for long.

    200% is someone who will suffer burn out in few weeks if they are not resilient - even a common cold will make you less resilient - or a few months if they are.

    BTW I have friends and family members who have had and have highly stressful jobs, and it's not fun watching someone destroy themselves.

    Myself due to what has happened to me in the past have walked away from these situations.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    Gosh...I have been called many things in my life....but contemptible? Now that doesn't sound very nice at all :D. Was Bryanb the OP?


    I might go back edit and restart the recession tale midway through.....as we got broker and more depressed, OH then traded me in for totty and then I couldn't get a job @ Tesco as I wasn't qualified to shelf stack.....perhaps that's what he wanted to read?
