Well i din't grow up in a council house, but who gives a shit really. In fact, given the circumstances, i was probably extremely fortunate. I'd be happy if i could afford a council house now, but as you say, that is entirely my own fault, in the free economy in which we operate. And the comment was fairly jovial, but in essence, i suppose you are correct, and if i think about, i really am a whinging bastard. I'm not really sure what 'bettering myself' means exactly though? If it means earning more money in order to buy a home, then i really am screwed. Can't have everything i suppose.

If it wasn't for your whinging on other matters though Barnie , perhaps we would never have had the pleasure. But i suppose in another way, you were merely asserting the truth and fighting for justice, which could well be interpreted as merely bettering oneself. I suppose anything can mean anything given the appropriate context.
