Seemingly trivial things that intrigue you

You're wrong to lump everyone of a certain age together in what seems like a personal attack. You wouldn't accept it with any other protected characteristic
.
That doesn't mean that inheritance tax can't increase or the triple lock be ended.

Back on intriguing things, the Honours system. Not getting into whether we should or shouldn’t have it at all, if you do have it then how do you value Tim Martin’s achievements more highly than those of Kevin Sinfield? I’m sure it’s nothing to do with political donations!

I fall into the boomer age bracket, but I detest labels and do not identify as a boomer. 😉
I certainly do not identify with Rick's characterisation of boomers.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

What are you spending your million quid or so of spare cash on? Is it to fund a protest group to stop housing?

I don't have anywhere close to £1m in assets.
I'd guess most outside of the SE fall into that bracket. I'd also like to keep a roof over my head.

Rick's characterisation of boomers (meaning anyone older than him, as far as I can tell) will be the next generation's characterisation of his. He just hasn't figured that out yet.

I’m might fit in to that age group but I can’t be @rsed to refute Ricks bile because the last time I challenged something he said, he PMed me accusing me of bullying him.🙄

I’m intrigued by this pile of hippie trippy drivel I saw promoting something or other. Anyone have a clue what this means?

As a this subject popcorn muncher, I have to comment that I reckon RC's MiL knows exactly how to wind him up. Press those buttons, watch the squirm...

I feel left out. RC, can you complain about me please?

Sadly no as I can’t access my old account, mind there might be another one on the way soon.🤣🤣🤣🤣🙂

My Dad does that. He does like a wind up.
On the other hand, I don't believe he is straying too far from his actual beliefs, which I use to wind him up and the game goes on... 😉

Not sure why people are testing for covid any more - seems to me, for the moment at least, to be just one of the many winter viruses going round, and knowing that it's covid adds nothing to how to treat it, on an individual basis: rest up, don't spread it, and call 111/999 if it gets properly serious, as you would with any illness.
That's not to say that the government shouldn't be keeping an eye on the situation via routine testing by a representative group of people, but the "Holy shit, I've got covid!" period (complete with photos of tests on social media) is behind us, I reckon.

Don't worry, the Gen X'ers will be in the firing line soon. Followed by the Millennials - oh, hang on... :)

I’d be more convinced by the argument if the voting division had always been on age lines but age was rarely a major factor in 20th C voting patterns.

A lot of us might take your arguments more seriously if you weren't so obviously hung up about age groups.

Yet your tarring an entire generation for Government policy decisions that often go back to the 20th century.

I think it comes down to either people are still more prepared to take time off if it is Covid than if it is a cold and / or they get less grief from an employer if they have Covid. It’s a ridiculous situation but people’s thinking when it comes to take time off sick has always been odd. I also think the pandemic was so bad and scary for people that they find it hard to get out of the habits. We had one retired couple that wouldn’t come back to choir a few weeks ago after having Covid despite feeling fine as they were still testing positive.

We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

It is the main political dividing line.
It is the single biggest indicator of who you vote for and that has been reflected in UK govt policy making for the last decade and a half.
I get most people are getting arseache because they’re older and aren’t reflective of the polling but then the forum is not representative so that figures

Did he then go on to tell you he had a degree in history, dontcha know so he must be right? Then perhaps call you a bigot?

Looking at the last few pages, this thread was the real Christmas cracker. Bravo!

Hang on a minute, I hope Webboo hasn't been jumping the queue here. You start by being called a misogynist: the upgrade to bigot only comes after you've consistely posted views that don't fit in with the Liberal left agenda and/or taken the piss out of the wokey dokeys.
