@Marmion should get a gong for services to art

Very true

Was that Spicey?
I thought it was McCartney

You are correct, I misread your post, sorry.

Exactly.

Exactly what?

Money does not buy you happiness, it can though make your misery a bit nicer.

I cannot understand why people think that because a person has money then they are happy.

Money can't buy you happiness


But it can buy you the things that make you happy

Or it might buy you the things might make you happy, might being the important word.

Shes not, I know someone who works for her firm of solicitors and shes got her worries.

Well, for one her lawyers don't understand privilege.

Edit: should have refreshed.

It can buy you another bike. That should do the trick.....

Did not work for me last year, new bike in March and I spent the year as close to going back on the pills as ever.

jefmcg, you never wore 26 inch bell bottoms, or frilly shirts then.

No. Because I am too young. And irrelevant, as I am not pitching myself as a designer (as explained upthread, my dad did not have millions to throw at my career and if he did ... I liked numbers ... not sure how he could have invested in that).

But full disclosure, particularly as I have shared it before https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/never-seen-in-the-same-room.211347/post-4597526

Honestly, I am not actually embarrassed by that. I would totally do it again no (rats tail and all, which you can't see in the photo). I won't do it again, because presumably it would make me like those fifty-something women you saw with a beehive in 80s. More ageing than a simple bob. And, let me emphasise this - I am not marketing myself as a designer.

Apologies, but it was a very tongue in cheek remark I made.

Pointing out basically in that fashions will be liked by some and hated by others, and often laughed at in later years.

Seriously? My post was meant to be an (albeit highly defensive) "you got me/mea culpa"

Please don't apologise!!

George Michael certainly didn't seem to be.

Nor Howard Hughes.

Money doesn't make you happy. Google Dupont heirs or Tetrapak heirs if you want to be sad.

But the Beckhams set out to be financially successful. They have achieved that. Good on them. Being a success is all you can hope for. Everything else is luck or planning or .... someone come in and tell me what is required to be happy. I do not know.
