My advice would be to calm down, disconnect from the computer, go outside and try to meet a nice young girl/boy and see where that leads you. Good luck, little boy. :rotfl:
DANGER! unintentional Irony levels now at 100%.
General lack of self awareness + comedy hypocricy is now threatening the quantum state of the know universe.
Prepare for total universal collapse.

You'd like to think so, no doubt. However, I can't say that I am embarrased (only on your behalf for the "facts" that you stated recently, which I had the audacity to correct)
Honestly, you really need to grow up, move out of your mum & dads back bedroom and get on with your life instead of this jealous sniping at people who are living theirs. I moved out many years ago, FYI. If you want to believe that I still live with my parents, then carry on, if it helps your cause.

You would be much better off directing your energy into bettering your own life rather than trying to nit pick and find some insignificant 'faults' in mine. I don't need or wish to better my life, it's fine as it is. Thanks for the advice anyway, but I'll ignore it for now.

No doubt you will attack me soon with your Geneer sockpuppet logon, who hasnt contributed to this thread yet, but will do very shortly. Pathetic.
No need to attack you, I think my previous attack (stating a few things that you got totally wrong, and never admitted or acknowledged your errors) did the trick. The evidence is all in what you typed above. Accusations of sock puppet, living with parents, little boy - those sound like the things someone would say if they were annoyed, and didn't have any real defence against the accusation I made towards them.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older.

I do not want to get into your spat with renoman, but just in passing I wanted to say I actualy do get irked with some I meet who have had help from Bank o Mum and Dad or an inheritance because a few years down the road they erase the 'luck' from memeory and act as if thier good fortune was down to thier own efforts and skill. I see this often.
One total knob got a massive redundancy from BT, about £200k a while back and soon after was Lording it up as if his new home and so on was entirely down to his Alpha Malesim when in fact it was just luck and nothing more.
Another I know owns a very small footwear shop in a provincial town. One of those that is about 58 and loves running round the town in tight shorts. He gives off this deliberate air of being a wiley businessman, and to be fair he has worked very hard indeed and is a great salesman and always saved hard. What irks though is that he met a divorced woman and she got several hundred grand out of the divorce.
Fast forward a few years and our shorts man had bought several buy to lets, and simply forgets the massive good luck cash injection from the new wife. He like others Lords it up as if he alone by dint of effort created this newly added wealth.
It's my weakness that these folk irk. It's probably because I've worked for every damned penny.0 -

Lol.
The only thing I know about geneer is that he lives in Scotland (I think), and he gets a fair bit of stick from Hamish, and one or two others. I happen to live in my own house, very much south of the border, and very much paid for (well almost). I think that calling me a pathetic coward, and accusing me of using sockies is a very poor attempt to discredit me. I'd have thought that a man of your intelligence (as you seem to have made all the right decisions) might do a bit better than that. Perhaps the reality of your life is much different to the picture you paint here, although I wouldn't accuse you of making things up in that department, as I am a reasonably trusting person (unless I have good reason to think otherwise). I have certainly never "enhanced" my status, I have stated that I live in a modest 2 bed semi detached house, and that it is nearly paid for.
If you want to carry on with the name calling, please continue. It is something that I mainly refrain from, although I will have a "pop" occassionaly, with polite digs, such as "Hamish McLavish" and "chuckie egg" etc.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older.

Without going into the details, my modest home has been paid off mainly by my own work. No inheritance or BOMAD. I lived with my parents until my mid 20s, saved about £9K, and used £5k of it as a deposit. Although the actual repayment of my mortgage was made easier by a bit of good fortune, and a twist of fate that I will certainly not go into here, my mortgage would still have been paid off without these 2 windfalls. My good fortune was simply good fortune, but owning the home that I do wasn't derived from that fortune.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much.
