You remind me of those skinhead guys that would try to beat me up for being 'different'. I see them occasionally when visiting family - prematurely aged and basically defeated by life, and all for the want of a refusal to learn.
Quite sad, I suppose, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit to a certain frisson of schadenfreude.
I know you won't mind me saying this

not to get involved in your love-in, but you've clearly never met lpg. x
