What did you expect?

My favourite quote about kendo world forum is "KWF, it it were a dog, it would bite you." -Some guy over on aikiweb.

Back to your grumblings: I think the reason you are getting this frosty reception is that you don't realise that most of us have been there before... Pocket money? What is that? Yeah i got the odd tuppence from mother every now and then for a sweetie or a magazine but for day to day teenage stuff I had me a paper round until i was old enough to get a job in a kitchen... oh kitchen porter days... who out there remembers those days!?
So, if you want money, go out and earn it. Plenty of reasonable suggestions which you have been very quick to shoot down.

It will be a time in your life you will look back on and hopefully smile about.. providing that it's not too shit. Seeing how you've recently been to China i'm thinking that it is not. Foreign holidays at fifteen... to train at Shaolin Temple!! My word, you've had it so bad
