Schoolfriends who are more successful than me should be banned
Until recently I was pretty happy with my success and career choice, gloating at the averageness of all my old chums as they bemoaned their pointless little jobs on Facebook.

I was content.

Until I read about a mate who became a Lynx pilot in the RAF and posted all the awesome photo's of his jaunts across the globe.

Damn that guy. Damn you Facebook. I'd ban it all.

There was the bloke on here who claimed to have been a Tornado pilot and a doctor
Turned out that he was actually a bigamist banker earning £100k a year...

Funny place teh interweb.

Ha ha.
My brother is a Lynx pilot in the Army.

He was always the stupid one when we were growing up, we all assumed he'd become a builder or truck driver.

I've always shuddered in horror at the thought of a school reunion, BUT
...there was a moment, ten years ago or so, when I was flying regularly to California for a music company and making enough money there to spend nine months a year just partying with my Brazilian girlfriend, when I really, really wanted to go to one. "What's that you say? You're a buyer for Aldi? And you married that plump girl with the lazy eye who lived three doors down from you? A Ford Mondeo, really?"

God, I'm shallow sometimes. Thankfully the reunion never happened, so I didn't develop a life-threatening croissant habit.

That's like the
friendsreunited curse, isn't it?

All the milkmen and timeshare salesmen don't bother signing up.

You just get the 2 or 3 people from every class who got to be bond traders waving their dicks at each other.

I went to a school 10 year reunion a few years ago. It was absolutely hateful.
It was exactly the same, but people were flashing their fags instead of bumming them.

At one point, there was an exchange of business cards.

Just be happy
Someone else got more? Good for them, assuming you've got enough. Mate of mine lives in a near-mansion and drives a Porsche. Numpty from my class at school owns a software development company. Great - they both worked harder than me. Me, I fly paragliders 'cos they're cheap and fun and I have a mortgage and a middling car and I'm happy with what I've got. Of course more money would be nice, but hearing about people who've got it doesn't make me more miserable. If you're happy - be happy. If you're not, get on with fixing it.

Fuckin' 'ell - what a waste of taxpayers' money
Can't even expect cosseted public sector air force workers to apply their own deodorant body sprays - we have to pay people to 'pilot' it for them!

What is this country coming to?
