    I know this one person in blackrock. Shes one of those annoying middle aged women types-think of those women who always ask questions in shops. Anyway she had a affair with a married man many years ago resulting in a bastard child which she kept. Nows shes about to turn 61 and sad because she has no friends-more than likely due to the affair. The only person who really visits her is her mother. I can only hope when i turn 60 my life doesent end up like this :D

    Anyone else have stories of shadenfreunde to cheer me up? its absolutely lashing outside now.

    Your life must be fairly pathetic if you have to rely on looking down on other people to make you feel better about yourself.

    I thought extra marital affairs were all the rage.

    Knew a guy who finished school and got a job in a famous Irish factory. Still remember the stupid smirk on his face when he told me. It closed down last year and he'll probably never work again.

    Most every coastal county in Ireland has a town called Blackrock. Some of them aren't kips, which one do you mean?

    AH isn't PC, it's just generally accepted that you are allowed go against people who come across as cnuts. Your post makes you seem like a right cnut, though, I wouldn't presume to assume you are one, your post indicates you might be.

    I dislike that kind of assumption, it is perfectly likely that one could have a quite fulfilled and happy existence and yet still enjoy looking down one's absolute nostrils and another person. It can be quite a delicious little undertaking.

    Yes - and before you try & back up your sad little viewpoint on life by saying that looking down on people is a common Irish trait, let me tell you that it isn't.

    Well, that could just be a really big shoe next to a normal sized person.

    Ah would you stop. It's not the nineteenth century anymore, there's no stigma attached to it these days.
