The moan about your neighbours thread - Stool Bloke returns...

[kazanova_Frankenstein]

We have a system called “work” where if you work hard and earn money you can afford a new roof after the road tax goes through it.

[Jenuall]

Tell you what, didn't hear any loud noises from the upstairs neighbours after that so it was a blessing in disguise really.

[That]

Mate of mine made the switch from a coal barbecue to a gas one recently, the fuel efficiency is much worse so his road tax on it has gone through the strawberry floating roof.

I think this house has beaten your neighbours house.

But regardless of that you make a point of making it sound like everyone lives a missable life in a small terrace house, some people may live like that but we have a system called “work” where if you work hard and earn money you can better yourself and your house and not have to rely on the government for your housing, instead of moaning about it then make a change, I along with every single member of my family don’t live or have ever lived in a council house, you said you had to live in one when you were renting, why was this? maybe you should have rented a better house?

I apologise for anyone who lives in a council house and know there can be reasons why people end up in them, (my partner grew up in a council house) especially in situations like relationship breakdowns or disabilities, I just hate when people moan that the government should be giving them all these hand outs and especially when they think these other countries are some sort of utopia,

Absolute fanny.

I find the mindsets of people who believe in "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps" and "working hard = a better life" fascinating.

It's like they see themselves as accepting the harsh reality of the world by not complaining about having to work hard and just getting on with it. But really they're not accepting the actual harsh reality that systemic failures can mean your efforts have no standing on what happens to you.

It must be very comforting to believe that as long as you work hard and keep your head down you'll be fine and successful. Sort of like believing that God will always have your back. What a lovely universe to live in.

The same people who say they got where they are through merit and hard work alone are the same people who say "it's who you know, not what you know".

The teddy bears on the clothes line look as if they might have a noose around their necks.

I don't mind this one in certain contexts - e.g. Acting confident when you are doubting yourself in some situations can eventually lead you to being more confident down the road.
