You have to remember the time it was written. It was the hippy time. Hippies whose parents had given up loads during the Second War and whose grandparents had been through the Great War and the depression and who collectively had built a safe and affluent society which they presented to the hippy generation who didn't know what to do with it. They had freedom, security and wealth all for nothing and were totally and utterly lost.
Ok. I think I get it.

Don't be daft, I've been a steely-eyed dealer of animal death in my spare time, it doesn't upset me and there was no indication it upset anyone else.How many innocent fluffy lambs did you murder and dismember today?

Just posted this in the house husband thread, one of the biggest memories of my youth.

5k, I even picked up a knife and trimmed a twitching carcase that buckles when you take a cist or welt off.
I was butterflying a leg of lamb the other day from some farming friends of ours and found a lump within the meat that I didn't recognise. So I carefully sliced it and a load of foul smelling green stuff oozed out. I've a strong stomach but the smell of this stuff turned my stomach. I chucked the whole lot over the hedge into the wood for the fox. Yeuch. Are these the same sort of cysts you cut out pad?

Firstly, I wasn't talking about you, so get your knickers untwisted. secondly, the person I am referring to has had my advice already on the subject. My reference to notdave refers to every step of his life being held back by some minor issue or other.

What a pleasant thing to say to someone.
What you said was aimed at me though, or thats how it came across. You were likening me to NotDave by implying that I come on here to whine about my every little predicament. It wasn't a "woe is me" post but rather an update on recent events for people that are interested. I included the aspect of my two jobs so that I could get advice from people that are older than me and more knowledgable.
I possibly did get the wrong end of the stick, but if we are honest your post could be interpreted so many different ways as this thread has shown.

TorqueR, don't get the hump! LSI was merely giving you shorthand for this:-
"You are 18. You will work until you are 65, probably, if not longer. You have done sales, show talent but don't really like it. You have a chance to gain at least some CV enhancing experience in something you think you will like better. At the worst you will have some experience in your favoured field and possibly a great reference if not a permanent job, if you get lucky. If you take a permanent job in sales now, you may buy a car or take on other committments which will stop you taking a risk in the field you really want to work in, at some point down the line. You will then become a whinging ditherer, hence LSI's comment."

Thank you for posting your perspective. Its appreciated.
If I came across rude, I apologise. I have never met LSI but his posts on this site are similar to the retorts I heard at my previous job from someone that always put himself in a higher esteem then everyone else and made thoughtless comments to others younger than him. Hopefully when/if I meet LSI, he can prove me wrong.
He drove a Saab too, a 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero to be exact.
