Perhaps.  I'm sure I'll get over it though because a poncy title doesn't make you who you are.
 
I just want to clarify something though.  I wasn't for a moment trying to suggest that everyone who owns a DeLorean is a tosser; far from it.
 
What I was getting at was that it annoys me when people like Lord (ing it up) have soooo many flash cars, and not content with that they have to arrogantly show them all all television.
 
I think anyone with a DeLorean has taste for choosing something a bit different, but DeLoreans aside what annoyed me most about Nick was the way in which he genuinely believed that if you plan your life out properly you will achieve what you want, which is complete rubbish.  I know as well as anyone what it's like to be dealt a very bad hand and you just have to make the best you can of it.  If you come out well in the end then that's lucky, because it could so easily have gone the other way.
 
No-one on the face of the earch is where they are today without the slightest bit of luck.  Whether it's being able to pay their mortgage off early, or being gainfully employed without redundancy coming along out of the blue.  We all owe somehting in our lives to luck, and I just wish people like Nikc would admit tha and not put it down to some Mickey Mouse career like "Life Coaching".

When will they learn that success involves an element of luck; whether Lord Nick will admit it or not.

People like him are a special breed who seem to feel no guilt as others experience severe illness and problems within their lives he merely worries about which car he should be seen in each day.
