I will never understand how some people are impressed by how much they or others make. :confused:
Call it working class ethics? There really are more interesting things in this world than a sodding bank balance for Pete's sake. :rolleyes:

Come the revolution, you rich buggers will go to the wall with all the other societal waste. :D

BTW, what about my "copper question"?

I am no "rich bugger" as you so eloquently put it.

I'm sorry, I appear to have missed that one. Would you be so good as to refresh my memory or point me in the requisite direction?

You are a copper here in the US right? Are you going to work as one in the UK also?

On top of the normal, long hours, little vacation time, you need to know the manby pampy EU employment protection laws don't apply.

In fact, in GA, you could work for a company for 1 day or 15 years and your boss can fire you for no REASON. My lawyer is quoted as saying "you can fire him for the wind blowing"...

Any other states like Georgia where employment law is non-existent? I know in Europre employERS complain it's gone too far the other way and you almost can't fire anyone in the UK!!

Also your sentence structure is poor to say the very least. Ideally you would want to place a full-stop after "prospective employees", commas around "you know what" and some glue word such as "but" before "it is equal". And just a single exclamation mark please. More than this to complete a sentence suggests over zealousness and immaturity in the writer.

And I dont earn anywhere near $150,000. Perchance I should ask for a raise? Or you, sir, should take some of your obviously immense salary and avail yourself of some post CSE schooling.

And as there is no particular industry demand here beyond the service industries required for the (very) ageing population - such as food, building etc - there is no driver pushing the salarys up, unlike the cost of licing which is skyrocketing.

I forsee a very precarious position here soon... whereby the locals (as is already evidenced) can no longer afford to live here, there are no traditional pullers for 20 and 30 somethings to move here and the explosion of retirees slows down.

It is fast becoming a state sized retirement home with no supporting industries.

Now as for the acusation of being a wanker, I must admit I have masterbated in the past, during puberty it was my #1 hobby to be honest! But since I have matured and gained social skills to be able to form relashionships upon meeting people (in person, not like the socially challenged indervidualls who must rely on chatrooms to find other desperate souls) the need for self pleasuring has all but dissappeared and I can honestly say I have only had one tug since I have been married to my wife in the last 6 years. The cause of that particular pleasure fest was the fact I had been sent to China to oversee a plant my company was opening there and I was there for 3 weeks and just could not hold out.

Strangely enough when I was in China I was tasked with interviewing prospective employees, I had some pesents come off the street with no schooling at all and you know what every single on of them knew 150,000 is not greater than 150,000 it is equal to it!! And people wonder why this country need to outscourse.
WANKER!
