Default My first moan thread ....

I've been on this forum since the end of 2004 in various guises and lengths of time - and never have I been so disillusioned .... either advice based on experience (been in Australia for 3 years) is argued against from some arsehole who thinks they know better ...but has never actually experienced the situation/place etc - or time is spent compiling advice, only to be totally ignored.
I don't know why I bother ...experience mean nothing now?
It certainly used to ...

Thats the thing...I am happy ..very - and my experience of being happy might just well be useful to someone ...but by the time the 'I know it all, but completely inexperienced' poster, or the ignorant bastard has just wasted your time - then you begin to think 'why shuld I bother?'
Their loss - not mine.

can you be a little more specific?

can't do lateral thinking after an afternoon in the pool up to my neck in water hands holding book aloft so I can read...... Perhaps you have some advice on how to read whilst totally submerged on hot days?
