Re: To all the Americans
Life will come at us all, no matter where you are, who you are and what you are or how much money you have.
He's having a tough time and obviously believes and relates all his problems/feelings to this country right now, to feel so strongly as he does. We don't know the whole story just bits and his side.
He seems to think going back will be the answer so, hopefully, once he goes back to the UK he won't be so bitter about this place, and his time here.
Sometimes after time, we realize we learned more from the hard, difficult times than the good and those experiences built character and strength within us.
I hope he takes back something from being here.

You are obviously hurting but try not to let it make you bitter. You liked it here once and I hope you can appreciate there is good and bad everywhere.
I wish you luck.

Re: To all the Americans
Funny how everyone realises he was having a hard time AFTER he deletes his account and buggers off. He came on here a few times and was just so obviously venting and getting things of his chest and yet a few of the thought police put him down for it. Pardon me but thats what the website is for...help. Be it frothing at the mouth or where to buy Branston ****ing Pickle.
Some off us do not want to be here, some of us that don't want to be here HAVE to be here, not all of us can just up sticks and go back home. That does not give those that are happy here any moral high ground to tell others how to live their lives. You're happy here...shut yer mouth and think yourself lucky instead of compounding someone elses suffering with your unsympathetic and thoughtless comments. Try walking a mile in someone elses shoes.

Lanky wanted attention any way he could get it. He was begging for all the negative reactions he got here. Each thread he started was only posted to get a rise out of people he know would respond just the way they did.
Do I feel sorry for him? Vaguely. Don't know him, but he sounds like he was a wanker when he was happy, and worse when things in his life went tits up. He's certainly better off not posting here, where anyone looking for a fight like he was will meet with people like us (YOU included, Rushman) who were never exactly going to be sympathetic the way he was behaving.
And as for "compounding someone elses suffering"? Bollocks.

Re: To all the Americans
Rushman takes the moral high ground and tells us to be more sympathetic. Now I've seen it all.

I also think that he will go back to blighty soon and end up just as unhappy there as he doesnt seem to be pleaseable.

The truth of the matter is this .....
I can understand not being happy with the place you live. That is understandable BUT IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD FFS.
I know people who have lost loved ones (something we cannot do anything about) and whined less than some of the cry-babies on this forum.

Does this apply to loving Mum's of ginger babies or just whining bastards who would rather cry foul than make positive changes in their own lives?
