Shimrod's entitled to express the way he feels.

If on sober reflection, that's how he feels about his working life, you should respect that.

yes theres always people have harder lives than you have - it doesn't relieve of responsibility those people who are always sodding up other peoples lives. And we're at a time of our lives when you should understand we all feel a little bitterness for what might have been and indeed what should have been.

show a bit of compassion, and stop taking cheap shots.
