  • Gailey, have you considered a move to London. Things are all hunky dory over there and the good times continue.
    Only don't forget your passport because I believe it is a seperate country from the rest of the UK these days.

    I'm getting on now, I have seen it all before - and much worse!

    I picture people watching their SKY Programs on their 50" Plasma 3D TV's, moaning at 'how tough it is' whilst drinking a Martini ....... wondering whether to click the central heating on or not!

    How about having no TV, the food cupboard is empty, drink is for the rich, the coal has run out for the single point of heat in the lounge ... the bedrooms are freezing, there is no hot water - we had to make our own fun (hence the baby boom!).

    Did we moan like you lot?

    Did we hec as like ... we just got on with it and were thankful ...... stop whineing ...... you've never had it so good!

    You are 31 years old ...... you have absolutely no idea, not a clue.

    I'm glad you didn't have to grow up with nothing, as those of my generation had to.

    You live in a time of plenty, a time of untold riches, a time of wonder ....... relish it, stop moaning, learn that the very best things in life are free.

    I think you are missing the point.

    I know the very best things in life are free, i think you dont.

    You are also making presumptions.
