Plus when I do make the annual visit the restaurant is rather good. I'm considering the Fat Duck again this year unless anyone else can recommend somewhere better.

Depends on the rate. I think £15k for a year is reasonable for doing nothing apart from eating.Comment

Jolly well done!
Btw, keep repeating your bollocks and we'll all start to believe it eventually.Comment

Look. I'm not going to be nasty. You're obviously having a bad time. Working away from home, on your own, dead end contract, no savings, people around you doing well, colleagues who think you're a twat, CUK posters who know you're a twat. Lack of success must be eating you up.
May I suggest a self help group or maybe try here Jealousy - Overcome Jealousy
You can turn it around Churchy, you can become a nice person. We're rooting for you.
Actually Suity, can you donate all the money you made on your last charity bike ride to the Churchill Self Help group?

My housemates sister works at the Lyric...
Brian is suicidal. And why not? He’s Swindon’s seventeenth best news photographer, dresses in casualwear, and sings ‘Lady in Red’ as spiritual salvation. Oh, and his wife just left him. He decides there is only one escape from his pain.
Ralph is at ease with the world. And why not?
He’s the best there is, calls himself ‘John Smith’, dresses in Armani, and carries a Heckler and Koch PSG1 sniper rifle. But you’d never know. If forced to speak, he would say that he’s in the business of ‘pain removal’.
Two men. Two lonely hotel rooms. An adjoining door...
On any other day, Brian would have successfully ended things. On any other day, Ralph would
have successfully ended someone.
But not today... Today’s different...Comment
