JK Rowlings hedge

We have options. Do something for yourself but stop the frigging whingeing.

 

Do you really think society would have advanced without someone "whingeing"? Would King John have signed the Magna Carta if it wasn't for those "whingeing" Barons? Or do you think women would have got the vote without those "whingeing" suffragettes?

For Gods sake . What is wrong with you.

Can we please put an end to all this rubbish.

Too many of us are on this wasting time with piffle when we should be out there cutting

I'm quite fond of piffle.

Anyway this theme will always pop up somewhere, a bit like bindweed.

No one gets hurt, where's the harm?

Ps I'll get out cutting when it takes my fancy:001_smile:

Well guys I'll leave you at it.

I need money and I've work to do.;-)

That's obviously untrue though. Or do you really think a fat ugly girl has a chance of becoming a model or someone in a wheelchair can become a professional footballer?

 

I just resent the "winner takes all" economics of some industries like books. The big authors will make untold riches and the nearly as good authors will make relatively little. Is this really fair?

 

How many tree surgeons are in the country? say 10,000? I bet they all have a fairly similar salary. How would you feel if the top tree surgeon was making £20million a year and the 100th best tree surgeon was making say £50k a year and the 1000th best tree surgeon was making £5,000 a year?

 

Copyright for books lasts for 70 years after the authors death. Sorry, but it doesn't seem right that the JK family will be collecting royalties for these books for the next 100 years...

 

 

I'd feel pretty awesome to be honest, as I'd be making £20 million a year obviously!

Crack on then! I'm with Dempsey, I'll get my tut when I want to.

You seem to have a lot of bitterness towards people doing well. If a top tree surgeon was on 20 million a year I would think bloody well done and how can I do that, I wouldn't be bitter towards him.

We seem to have that attitude in the UK. If someone is doing well we become jealous, in the States (form what I've seen) they are the first to praise them.
