That is so sad, fancy all that misery for a lot of your life, must have been terrible. Could you have had a change of career to something you would have enjoyed.

I found this thread useful at first, but it just feels like a couple of regulars posting smug messages.

That are just having fun, you have to be patient with older folks.

Had 2 hours in the gym this morning, then spent time with some friends whilst topping up the bank account, just about to go out on the bike and then a nice dinner with the wife. Life is great.
