minor things that make you fume

Sake!
I have lots of respect for skilled tradesmen. More than society has for me, when with more degrees than a thermometer I could have collected a ruddy fortune in the city doing something useless for some giant corporation, but instead deciding to help build a better society for peanuts.

There is a bit of emperors new clothes in me though. I do absolutely everything in my own house that the law allows. Building work, tiling, plumbing. I've never used a garage for cars - not since I was ripped off as a youngster, and have fully restored and fitted out 2 boats and a camper van conversion. None of it is rocket science. None of it is difficult. None if it is worth a fraction of the prices I've been asked. Nor do I take as long as the professionals I've come across.

Good plastering, however, is beyond me. I acknowledge that, and I'm prepared to pay it to get a result. I was simply drawing the comparison in remuneration.

All of you attack dogs who have come running out to repress my opinion with your fervent indignation need to just pipe down and take a reality check. If a senior teacher has to work a week to pay for a day and a half of your services, you'd better show grovelling gratitude to them next time you're discussing your kids progress, and NEVER question why the quality of education is in a nose dive.

Hahahahaha. What an arrogant, conceited arsehole you are. I hope he rinses you for your 600 quid and does a scabby job. There'll be a lesson for you there Sir.

Oh you done me there you big man. I'm quivering. You bored with bullying @Ashtonian and looking for another target?
You misunderstand some simple text, extrapolate it into an insult and come out with aggression, taking an automatic anger. I'd use my experience and skills to surmise, for nothing, that it's possibly due to a deep-seated inferiority complex? Time to see a shrink I'd say.

Who do you think you are, seriously?

If you could've made ten times your salary doing something useless then who's the real divvy?

Also, you don't need to worry about any future kids of mine MERT, they'll be the ones plastering your spare room for 4x your daily wages.

The only inferiority complex in here is from Professor Brainbox who's bitter because he wasted his vastly superior knowledge earning buttons and getting terrored by 'knuckle dragging 14 year olds' rather than learning a trade that paid a relative wage to skill.

I'd say the real clever clogs is the lad who will take a week of your wages off you for 1.5 days work.

And this is why most teachers aren't up to the job, education is going down the pan and the UK will soon be on the scrap heap. Your choice.
