I once offered Welsh warbler Bonnie Tyler a Twix but she refused it..
I also offered her a Mars Bar, then a Yorkie and finally a Bounty but she kept saying NO!
I think she was holding out for an Aero 🤔0 -
Try offering Marrianne Faithful a Mars bar.

Heard a good joke.
Chatting to a prosecutor. “It must have felt great being able to put all those terrible people behind bars”
“Mmmm not really. Let’s face it, it’s easy to put the guilty behind bars. The real challenge is putting innocent people in prison.”0 -

The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

It’s only meant to be a joke but I’m happy to accept it as a direct hit. 😂The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

This whole boomer, millenials, generation X thing completely passes me by. I just don't think in these kind of terms about different generations or even in generational terms.

The Times carried a letter from somebody Rick would resent complaining his new VCR came with a 60 page instruction manual whereas in 1942 he had taken delivery of a Sunderland Flying Boat with a 20 page manual.pblakeney said:
The following week was a reply pointing out his Sunderland manual did not require translation into German and Japanese3 -

If you’re not into spotting patterns, that’s fine, don’t criticise others for doing so.0 -

No, it's unhelpful putting people into boxes, particularly to fit a predefined narrative. You seem to have a massive chip on your shoulder about older people and seem to blame them for all your ills.5 -

Spotting trends or patterns is quite different to this whole generation thing. Part of the problem is that you are arguing with Gen X which is just a filler between boomers and Millennials so we really don’t identify.rick_chasey said:

On the off chance that you agree that millennials were self-entitled do you think half a decade in the workplace has helped them face up to reality and calmed them down?0 -

What I don't understand is the obsession with the past when there is current and recent Genocide (Burkina faso just very recently? Burma, Sri Lanka, Syria, Bosnia - perhaps the Uyghurs in China etc etc.).
There is the mass destruction of habitat - the Amazon, parts of Indonesia, Borneo and the mass destruction of habitat through climate change - forest fires, melting of the ice caps, diminishing glaciers, grass lands turned into Savannah's and Savannah's turned into desert created directly and indirectly by humans. Micro plastics are threatening whole ecosystems. Many species are on the brink of extinction. We have major global inequality and yet the sins of our forefathers outweigh all of this?! As if we are somehow superior to them - morally and socially?
Wake up, smell the coffee Rick.
Anyway, sorry gentlemen, as you were. I'll try not to ruin this thread.seanoconn - gruagach craic!1 -

Perhaps there is a flow chart where you can enter your age, colour, sex, sexuality, religion, perceived gender, political leanings etc, so that we can all be sorted and categorised properly.0 -
That involves oneself and I hate paperwork of any description. Besides, given time and this always happens, it will go online.ballysmate said:pinno said:God knows what box i'm in.

Pretty sure if I went to http:/www.whichrickboxregister.org, I could skip all that and he would have already allocated my box to me.
