Has anyone else read this Adam & Megan Brownson stuff? Remarkable.
I don't usually get involved in tabloid-driven hate campaigns but I can't help but feel anger when I read that sort of bollocks.

The thing I don't get is how they thought it could possibly end any other way.....

Its just different priorities for different income brackets though isn't it, is the bigger picture any different to people moaning to my missus when she worked for a social charity that they considered paying £60 a month for sky as being an essential and couldn't understand when it was suggested that it should be cancelled as they couldn't afford it!

Turn your anger to smiles by reading these comments at the bottom of the GoFundMe page set up to aid the Brownsons in their hour of need. Well worth a read. #prayforthebrownsons

I do understand it. I met/meet plenty of rich people at uni and my job for example, who go on gap yahs and get everything paid for. Even the ones that have treated me differently, I can kind of forgive, because they just live in a different world, and we're all psychologically programmed not to understand anything outside our experience.
But it doesn't stop me thinking "fucking hell, get a grip and fuck off to Cambodia then." Going to the media about it is beyond me.

You could write pages on this. One of those stories where you honestly don't know where to start. Their sense of entitlement is simply staggering.

can't help but think there must be a bit of press manipulation and/or leaving key facts out here.
it makes no sense.

It's the typical cultural thing of living to your means. They earn £190k per year so they spend £190k per year. They don't need to, but they do. And now they want to privately educate their kids as people with money typically do and they've found they're not as well-off as they thought they were.
I don't really have much sympathy. They net £10k per month and choose to live the lifestyle they have. If they want to pay for school fees they need to cut their cloth accordingly.
What they need is a good financial planner.

I'm not sure how anyone can have any sympathy for them.

The fact darts seems to be perpetually on in my house and somehow without noticing I'm taking it in as I seem to have a massive knowledge of darts players!

I used to quite like watching darts, I just can't watch it any more. Too many annoying players like Adrian Lewis and that cunt with the red/blue/green hair, plus the annoying crowd with chants like "Stand up if you love the darts". Imagine doing that at the County Ground? "Stand up if you love football!"

Oh Peter Wright with the hair is totally annoying - the dance he does after he walks in makes me wanna vom. His hair is marginally worse than the Auzzie bloke with the dreadlock mullet?
