    How sad, and yet how typical, that an intelligent young person with a realistic and discerning outlook, rather than an unjustified (and often drink/drug) induced irrational optmism and euphoria, should be insulted and pilloried by those who should know better.

    A young person being referred to as a bitter old troll by the resident troll is entitled to respond in comparable fashion by my reckoning.

    I may challenge some posters by the situation I find myself in, how I live and the baselines I observe .... but I am never vile, just opinionated. The female in question is not a good example of the youth of today, sadly.

    I'm 25, not exactly old like the old troll you are

    Of course you are, dear. :)

    You're 25, and your mortgage paid off...

    60k a year would make anyone rich. I'm on less than a quarter of that figure and feel very rich.

    Must be hard to keep the story consistent with all those user ID's. Silly troll. :rotfl:

    People who earn sums like £120,000 and have the audacity to claim that they are hard up deserve the Left's intention to tax them until their pips squeak

    So we should tax people based on their contentedness now?
