Assuming it's arrogance and they're showing off is glass half empty in itself.
When I first came on to CIU I used to see quite a few posts of that nature whereby peeps would post what they'd managed to achieve in their working lives, I admired that.
It also made me wonder how do you go about getting work like that. I never for one minute thought they were being arrogant. It encouraged me. You've got the cart before the horse Sean. If you want to think of me as arrogant or whatever I'm fine with that, I doubt everyone does, in which case keep challenging, it says more about you than me.
As for where you live, it is Northern Ireland isn't it?
