Why do the British hate success?

[aussielong]

All poms that fail in Oz and go back to the UK spout the same rubbish. I've seen dozens come and go like you.

Enjoy your sh1t summer and trips up north to make your measly pound.

Why are you writing pages of bile? Are you nuts? I can barely spare you a few lines.

Seriously though OH... Don't take it to heart. The amount of stuff you posted on this thread makes me think you are taking it to heart. No point getting worked up over nonsense posted on an Internet forum. Chill out man and enjoy your weekend

4 years son, then a further 18 months and I'd as soon live in Manchester as I would Australia; both tulip tips of the highest order... I had the intelligence to get residency before I got out, and I tell you, it was the worst 4 years of my life. Its tulip there, you know it is, I know it is.

And yet...

We have residency in Aus, and I often think of going back, but it is such a long way away, and our parents are ticking on, so we decided to stay until they departed.

Other than that, I'd be off in a flash.

Perhaps:

...you've been caught out, again. You aren't as smart as you think you are son.

Bandwagon?!!! No!!! Just wanted to clarify & interject!!! I'm sorry, it was entirely obvious what was being said!!!! But if it's so important to your fragile ego to be correct, then feel free to sleep on it, knowing that you were right and everyone else is obviously stupid!!!!

GOOD NIGHT!!!

Making aussielong look decent, bright and reasonable is quite a feat.

Avoiding the arguing and baiting, the original point is correct. A lot of the British do hate success, probably not people on here as we tend to be successful.

In America being successful people want to know how you did it, they aspire to be the same, they admire you.

In England, people will scratch your car for having a nicer one than they could ever get, or jealous that you have a nicer home than them. They dont have a can do attitude, they have an I cant so neither should you one.

This is clearly reflected in our taxation system where being successful is penalised, and those who cant be bothered to work think they have a right to others money.

The thing to watch out for with OH is the rate at which he uses "son" in his waffle. The higher it gets, the more rattled he has become.
If he gets to the point of claiming to "have your number" then he really is on the ropes.
From there tis but a short hop to outbursts of stereotypical playground name calling, and steam coming out of his ears.
Comical to behold,

Didn't fail, waited the 4 years for residency and came back as soon as I got it. Go back occasionally as it's ace for a holiday, and I still have friends there. I would go back in a flash, for holidays. Too far away to live, no culture, no intellect and too full of smug pricks like you.

As for responding to you, it's because you like many others here, say you'd never do something, then do it, within the same breath. You're also very quick to slate england and suggest australia is such a lovely place. I am providing a counter view, and you don't like it.

That, and you fooked up your argument; it could be argued that you are defending, the indefensible, as it's up here in black and white what you posted.

You are a tard sir.

As for tulip summers, I was at my house in France in july and august and, I can assure you, it was better than Australia as I was actually able to go out all day long and enjoy it.

Maybe, but I fear it would be a sisyphean task to do the same for you

'Too' by the way, in case Spelling Bee gets all hard again.
