If some on this site believe they have "class" I fear , in my eyes perhaps they may be deluding themselves as I believe how you conduct yourself in life is far more important than having a bulging wallet or claiming to being a member of an 'aristocratic family ' or having lots of "sterstificates" I see no reason to disbelieve his good fortune and perhaps it was because he was astute or perhaps just lucky. I have been 'lucky' in life , personally and financially and have taken chances ( financially ) against the advice of those who professed to know better and at the end of the day appear to be perhaps 'comfier ' than them. That said I will readily confess I do not understand money and prefer to put money into 'things' which hopefully, when the money runs out can be sold to buy a crust. I don't put anyone on "ignore" because by the law of averages we are all bound to say something sensible sooner or later but I'm not too bothered if others choose to ignore me as I don't need universal approval and only really value the opinions of folk I really know. Thank you for that Paswt, it means a lot. Yes , I have done reasonably well, but, as one of six kids born to a Father who was a pipe-fitter in a sulphuric acid plant, and a mother who held down three jobs (including a night shift) to make ends meet, and born in a terraced council house just outside Liverpool, I'm not taking any lectures on money, class, or anything else from these moaning Coconuts. They think that they will somehow 'brow-beat' me, sorry but they are going to (continue) to be disappointed losers (as evidenced by their posts). I don't have (and never have had) 'Class' - but I do have (and will use to the best of my ability), intelligence, hard work, honesty, loyalty, and a sense of duty - those attributes are (after 40+ years of scrimping) starting to pay off. Sorry if they sound old fashioned. Am I going to feel guilty about that and bow down to these Coconuts? Don't hold your breath. Thanks again.

I believe you have forgotten to factor in woody2..... It harks back to the thinking that if you gave three monkeys a typewriter each then eventually they would produce The Complete Works of Shakespeare. However once it's completed they would still be just three monkeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that would have found favour with you as you appear not to believe in democracy either. Certainly not with regard to the UK where you consistently argue against and do not accept parliamentary democracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freggyragh Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) I know it’s poor taste to boast about personal wealth. However, I can’t resist pointing out that I made a pretty quick 200% by laying a White Christmas in Aberdeen (couldn’t get it on for Aviemore) and increased it 50% backing Might Bite in the King George on Boxing Day - both verifiable by checking the Catalonia thread.

I have to say Maximus Uranus that I view the above as a load of old flannel. Nobody is trying to "brow beat" you or whatever you think is going on so I can assure you that nobody is going to be "disaapointed losers" or whatever. It's like all the imagined nonsense you came up with about me. Especially the "Gimme gimme gimme" footnote that must have given all those who know me on here a really good laugh. I'm still waiting for you to apologise about that but I guess you're just not big enough.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in those exact words but your posts give the impression that the UK has to leave the EU etc as it voted that way in an advisory referendum and that the UK parliament should not vote etc to the contrary. You are therefore arguing that a purely advisory referendum should bind parliament and therefore are not accepting of the fact that the UK is a parliamentary democracy and it should be up to parliament to reach its own decision on the matter and not be forced to follow the results of the referendum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If MPs had to stand down every time they went against those that voted for them none would last very long. The chances that an MP agrees 100% with everything that every voter in their constituency wants is null, it would be impossible. I do agree that the MPs should get on with Brexit, if that's what the majority wanted then that's what should happen. The problem is obviously that MPs, Government and Civil Service didn't have a clue what Brexit entails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britain did not vote on that govt’s interpretation of what Brexit means. It voted only to leave the EU.That was the only question asked. Nothing else. It can mean practically anything.
