[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2048050, member: 468714"] Ah, [USER=504488]@Jazz97[/USER] , personally i take such people as patronising. Yes it is life, but he is not living in your shoes. Who you tell is your business. Some of us see the world as a glass half empty, others as a glass half full. There is just as much water in the glass, the perspecrive is what is different.
