And isn't it a touch arrogant that a 16 year old does not think a 29 year old with his own city flat and successful business who doesn't need constant approval from females to make him feel worthy has anything of importance to pass on?

Wow - you must be living like royalty. Rolling Eyes I envy you so much! Rolling Eyes *sarcasm*

If that makes me arrogant - then so be it. Christ - that horse's legs must be about to buckle already. The fact that you think you can help people to become successful is arrogant. Believe me - there are much more well off people than you old chap - I know for a fact.

No no dear - you're getting confused. That's three on the first page! There are nine pages.

I can and I do - I help my customers become more successful or they wouldn't use me.

And there are certainly people far better off than I am in the world. When you start with nothing, you have to work harder to get somewhere. At least some of us try, and don't remain armchair critics all of our lives.

You have the beginnings of a very bitter man who wants to see other people fail. Me, I love it when people succeed, and if I can help them along the way, I will.

I hate to say it, but you're coming across as quite pathetic and frustrated mate. It was probably a bad idea to trumpet your age on a public forum in order to win a text-based argument Rolling Eyes

You are probably an appreciated person within the work place and at home, just as is everybody else on here - but when you come onto an internet forum, where you know hardly anybody and use your credentials to patronise people, then you aren't going to be liked. I hope you just don't do it in the real world.

Were you referring to me being bitter? Again, this is a forum and the way I am in the real world is totally different. Why would I want people to fail? You'd be more likely to fit that description from the way you've portrayed yourself - a successful man with a city flat and a thriving business, patronise, patronise, patronise - I don't care about anybody else!

Being patronising towards me doesn't necessarily count. I am just in college - obviously you are more successful than I am! You've had an extra 13 years to get there, whereas my life hasn't even started yet. To quote a cliché, "Go and pick on someone your own size!"

Are you speaking to me? I'm not trumpeting my age on the forum. It's the ones who immediately treat me as a child when they are aware of my age that are pathetic. I don't see why I should be stereotyped because of an irrelevant detail such as that.

I'm joining this one a bit late, Craig, but I'd recommend you check your history of this place before you accuse Johnnyboy "of knowing hardly anybody" on here.

I'd say he knows the majority on here.

What do you mean when you say "knows"? He said it himself - he's knows ONE person on here in real life, the others are only by email.

Also - how would you recommend I check the history?

The point of the matter is, CraigF, that I am liked by the people I like. That's the only thing that matters - I've never been interested in the intentions for friendship or anything from people I don't like and respect. I measure my popularity in a different way than you do.

I have made something of my life so far, and I intend to make a lot more from it too, not just financially. Your pointing out that there are people who are far better off than me in the world is the type of crap that armchair critics come out with - people who criticise what others do and never do anything themselves. Sad, vicarious-living motherfeckers.

You picked the fight with everyone else, CraigF. To quote a cliche, "don't start something you can't finish."

Okay, fair point, I'll amend the advice slightly.

If you're really THAT new and fresh to the place, I'd button my lip if I didn't understand the history.

Don't expect a reply from Nick, i'm still awaiting an answer to another post. I sent a pm to him twice, an email to the address on his website then he claims not to have got it so i'm still waiting for him to come up with another email address for me to send my telephone number to - or perhaps he's on a wind up??? In response to the Doctor, you say you speak on behalf of everyone, if so the forum doesn't need lots of members, just one. You can post and post and post as one person then no one else would need to post as your speaking for everyone - or is that the point CraigF is trying to get across about multiple names?? Rolling Eyes Yep.

Shot yourself in the foot COMPLETELY there, Mr Total Liar Hudson.
