Gatwick is already too far for such people, and it has excellent motorway
and rail links.


Which part of investing in infrastructure for manston did you have a problem
comprehending?

I endure flying because the holiday at the other end is worth it. No way

would
I fly 50 times to the US simply for work business class or not. They could
shove the job.


Obviously you wouldn't, as you're afraid of flying. I enjoy it.


Do change the record you old soak. And the amount of times you flew for your
job its quite apparent you're one of those sad *******s who lived to work
rather than worked to live. Some of us have lives outside our work which we'd
rather spend time in. Clearly you didn't.

And who'd pay for the tens of billions of infrastructure investment? Not
the owners of Manston. Not the airlines.

That's one way of rationalising a failed career.

The same people who'll end up paying for heathrows white elephant - us.

My career is fine thanks, however I also have a life outside of it too. I
suspect you don't which is why you're constantly travelling, no doubt to
alleviate the boredom of sitting at home staring at the walls with only
jeremey kyle for company.

Nope. There are plenty of people who will happily invest in Heathrow's
success. There weren't any investors in Manston's flop of an airport.

Yes, as I said, you're rationalising your career failure, just as you
rationalise your fear of flying (first, it was that you didn't like
travelling economy, then it was that you didn't like travelling in
business class, not that you ever have, of course).

Of course, these two problems might be connected: your fear of flying
has stopped you getting a decent job. That may explain your obvious
frustration and permanent anger: no-one likes being judged as a
failure. So here's a date for your diary: 30 June.

I had a colleague who took it, and it transformed him, and his career
prospects.

As I've said - we'll see. Talking is one thing, actually putting up hard cash
is another.

I've never travelled in business class so its highly unlikely I ever said that.
Just another made up "fact" amongst all your others to provide some feeble
weight to what pass for your debating abilities.

Is he a trolley dolly now?

Your poor memory can't help your career prospects, either. You said,
"No way would I fly 50 times to the US simply for work business class
or not. They could shove the job."

No wonder you're low paid.


It seems your english comprehension is somewhat lacking too. Not wanting to
travel a lot for work even if in business class is not the same as saying I
don't like travelling in business class. I wouldn't have done your job for
200K a year, that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to have 200K. Not exactly a
subtle distinction but nonetheless you apparently need it signposted in
flashing neon.
