I’d kick myself, but I’d probably miss.😁
Must say that, like many, I guess, I find this forum a good place to be

That must be worrying for their parents too. Is the job market particularly poor where they live?

That was the case with my son after he finished university. He  got some low paid temp work whilst back living at home with us.  South Yorkshire in the early 90s wasnt thriving. It's a long time ago but I remember it got him down.  An IT course helped him into a career but he had to move away to find it.

Very worrying for young folk here theseadays. Especially male. I am prejudiced: I see gilrs/ladies(wotuwill),more liely to study and not to be so impetuous. This is how you get on: toe the line,keep your head down. Men seem to be more impulsive,more likely to take risks. Also,wherein men were expected to take the lead on dating and so on,now...its more nuanced and any 'forward' move can be taken,stored and then used against them come any disputation whether in work or play,or both


Probably best to turn and try to be gay if you are a man theseadays. I havent tried it. But the primary schools seem to be saying its okay!!

To be fireproof claim to be black, transvestite and an immigrant - can't fail

i just think we are lucky Granny, we seem to see coloureds different to hardly anyone on here
 i have known quite a few Gays [erm not in the biblical sense] there is a couple in my wider family
i have only known a couple of transvestites and they were really nice... erm... ladies
i have seen a lot more in India than here...
if my son had walked in wi a frock on god knows how i might have reacted... come to think of it he wasnt a happy chappie when i donned my Kilt... ;D ;D ;D :o

I dunno..Seems like anybody who sees these things in a different light are 'snowflakes', those who try to help are 'virtue-signalling'..Though I'm not a great one for labels I'll take those over 'bigot' every time.

There are certainly many virtue signallers among the famous, great and good. Did Lineker take in the asylum seeker for the asylum seeker's benefit or his own given the amount of stick he had been taking over his overblown BBC fees? Why now?

If we are talking about bigotry here, surely liberal anything goes types won't see the polar opposite opinion either so you could equally call them bigots?




Anyone else having problems with the site, or is it my computer?  I can't get the list up at the bottom of the message boards that tells you the latest postings.
