Perfect example of why we need to know what the next unread topic is.

Not my pet.......?
 

In my dreams:

Is that the student method of having a plate full of food? A plate with chips printed on it!

Of course ?

@froggg, if I ever get rich can you please be my personal chef?

Tandoori lamb chops, all washed down with a glass of champagne.

Barry Stanton is spinning in his grave.

Yea we know, he was born in Liverpool. Victim,  not his fault etc etc.

The journey has nearly come to an end visiting the legends of our great club, I was never happy with how it had finished with Willie Carlin, so today I went back to see him but this time I took him one of the Ramtique limited edition medals that we had comisioned with the permission of the club and the football league to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Derby County winning the second division championship and the journey getting well and truly underway.
we decided to give Willie number eight out of a hundred as he wore the number eight shirt in that season.
willie had had his original medal stolen a number of years ago by some scum bags who robbed his house.
willie and his wife are very private people who understandably do not like strangers knocking on their door asking for photos or signatures so I made sure that I was brief and to the point.
They were really pleased with the gesture of the medal and both took a lot of time to make me very welcome in their home and Willie signed a few things for me.
they even gave me a limited edition plate.
A very lovely couple of people and one of the few real Derby County legends of 69.
Like with Jim Walker it was nice to be able to give something back.
up the Rams !

Mainly because they were paid eff all and needed to work.
good point though. Today s footballers are probably alright. It’s not their fault they are paid crazy money. 

Met a beautiful girl down at the park today. Sparks flew, she fell at my
feet and we ended up having sex there and then. God, I love my new Taser!

Looks like you,got quite excited at the sight of it

1) Perhaps, but just because it’s always been that way doesn’t make it right. I’d also suggest that it is currently worse than it ever has been due to people reading a headline on social media and using that to form their view on a matter. This is exacerbated by media sites wanting ‘clicks’, which leads to misleading headlines (this isn’t a recent phenomenon but it has increased in prominence as a result of social media). If someone of your generation keeps seeing ridiculous headlines about the latest millennial fad, it doesn’t take long before you form a pretty firm view on us.
2) I’m studying law. I’ve always intended to go to uni and my degree is necessary to pursue my current career path. It’s people that I know who are pushed into uni when it won’t necessarily benefit them. 
3) I agree with you in the sense that you hear some utterly bizarre things about my generation (technically, I’m a few years too young to be classed as a millennial but there isn’t much of a difference). However, this links to my first point because much of what you hear comes from misleading headlines and articles which make out that the strange behaviour is far more ubiquitous than it really is. Do you really think that, for example, most people of my age agree with the ‘clapping ban’ that has been proposed for the Students’ Union building in Manchester? Or that all millennials want to be gender fluid?
I believe that millennials have done a lot of good (whilst admittedly going too far on occasion), such as making mental health issues less of a stigma. We’ve also made a lot of progress when it comes to homophobia, environmental awareness, etc in recent years. Surely you can’t argue that these are bad things?
4) In some ways, we have more opportunities. In others, it’s a lot harder than it was for you lot e.g. relative house prices, retirement age, etc. I know uni isn’t always the answer, as demonstrated by my previous posts. Far too many people go to uni and it’s ridiculous that people of my generation are essentially told that it’s the only way to have a good career.
I feel that I’m quite rational when it comes to ‘millennial things’. I don’t jump on trends; rather I look at what is happening, why it is happening and consider both sides of the argument before forming a view. I think that this is quite rare in a world in which people of all ages are far too quick to take sides without looking at issues in enough depth.
Again, apologies for ruining the joke thread.

Back in a minute.   

Yes agree we should not ruin the joke thread,

All valid points. Nobody is blameless.
I just get annoyed when so much is attributed to being the fault of my generation, when much of it is the work of the generations before us.

Typical middle-aged, humourless Facebook fare.
I see young people who have been told that the only possible path is to go to university. Blame the people who are of the age that this type of page is aimed at for perpetuating this myth.
P.S. Apologies for posting something serious in the joke thread.

Either you didn’t see my posts in the ‘Scouser wants sympathy’ thread the other day or you’re a sly bar steward.? 

Did you like the way I kept the joke sort of relevant to your post? I didn't know whether to go with that one of this one.
What do you call a scouser in a university ?
Lost !
and what posts in the scouser wants sympathy thread ? Don't know what you're on about. Honest. Coyr

I did go to university-  It does show you have the capacity to learn things but you only really make money from doing a degree if it's specialises you down a particular route - rather than jack of all trade's business like mine.   For anyone whose done one recently, from experience I would advise it only has relevance for about six years.  After this, see what you can do to increase you skill set further . 
Incidentally,  my uncle left school at fifteen,  became a pipe layer and is now minted after starting his own business at thirty so there are many avenues.
What I find very demoralising is the lack of career opportunity in Derby as a whole - Courtaulds, Qualcast, BREL all gone .  Also much of  Royal Mail and practically all Civil Service jobs moved to Nottingham .  We are slowly becoming a city devoid of long term opportunity for all to allow for real long term life plan's .  Our local MP'S need to do more to protect job's in the city

Yeah well as it happens I'm now cooking the very chicken dinner I thought I was running home for. I've got myself all nice and comfy in the kitchen though...

Snowy 10k with this beast. The chicken dinner waiting for us at home kept us running.
