Today I'm angry about.....

[BWFC_Insane]

In the past there were jobs for the masses who didn't go to University. Most of these jobs don't exist anymore.

No arguing with that. Can't blame kids either for not wanting to follow their dads and granddads down the pit or into cottonmills anyway. Biggest problem overall is that their are more kids than jobs they can do.

Aye but that problem exists, University or not.

And the great thing about University is it gives us a chance to properly train people up so that a wide variety of areas are covered. Not saying that is happening like, but least the potential is there!

The rent bit applies to those who don't work, won't work yet want housing etc as a "right" We give youth in a lot of cases too many easy options and in the next decade we will pay dearly for this! Lawyers will become the real fat cats because like undertakers there will be no shortage of work, in fact there will be plenty of repeat business

Undertakers get repeat business? I would have thought it was mostly new customers...

Don't nit pick I meant the legal eagles! you know I did

Or is this a sinister hint that a better education may have made hobo more literate???
Worked all me life from apprenticeship till now through ressesions still found work, any work to keep the family, its called responsabilities and pride not left them for someone else to pick up the bill for.

Fair enough - food and shelter for the family should be the highest priority. All a better education might do would allow people to spell recession and responsibilities properly, but wouldn't change the message.

Just found this thread! Cheers Pru you've just confirmed that the youth of today should behave better, be great full for being "allowed to stay in Education or paid not to work" despite contributing nowt or taken out and SHOT!
Why should we put up with Morons who don't work, don't want to work, probably never will work yet can still afford to get pissed nearly everyday whilst having their rent paid to turn their flats or council houses into drug, sex or booze parlors?
Our Police should be left alone to deal with drunken yobs like the Spanish Police do, trouble breaks out you get the feck away as fast as possible not stand around videoing it on your mobile to U tube for your mates or you get your skull split!
Youth have become Morons because of the soft liberal woolly jumper mob of the late sixties early seventy's they too should be hunted down and shot!
You leave school you work, if you go to Uni, you work to pay for it simple as, then when you get qualified at least you can justify your big over inflated salary's.
Youth today get their arse's wiped and still whinge and whine

The fees come out of your salary after you graduate, assuming you've a) managed to get a job in the recession and b) found one which pays over the 15k threshold. So aye, it's not exactly a bunch of roses.

And fyi, rent paid for? Are you having a giraffe? I had to have three jobs on the go just to keep up with payments, never mind this 'going out' lark. You get a student loan as well, yes, but as said above ^ it's all repayed. and with top up fees now you, The Taxpayer (c) get even more money back from us lot, which will go a long way to easing your fears as it shores up our financial and MPs allowance system.

Pretty much what Verbal said. Not only do you get your cash back providing you earn over 15k a year, which the vast majority will, you get extra. Our loans are interest free, but they change in line with inflation. A figure of inflation they just make up, which at one point was something like 7%. HA. I wonder if this recession turns into a depression, what we owe will go down? I doubt it. And like Verbal, and the vast majority of students, and I mean the vast majority, I work to pay my way. London is so hard to find a job that fits around my degree I've stood around Leicester Square on my Friday nights handing out leaflets to pissed folk who clearly didn't care and just swore at me. That added to 30-ish hours a week study, and 40 hour jobs in the holidays says we aren't lazy dossers. In fact the only people who don't work to pay are the ones for whom their parents pay, and so it isn't costing you anything anyway.

Since we were talking of adverts the other day, I thought I'd mention something that doesn't so much make me angry as crush my soul. How numbingly depressing is it to see Iggy Pop advertising insurance?! Is that what it's come to?

Cheers Bruce, glad to know of another believer in the miracle of IKEA meatballs.

I love the Gravelax (sp?) too, wonderful stuff.

They do Gravadlax? Do they serve it with that mustard, honey and dill sauce stuff too?

They do, and it's wonderful

[Verbal]

Today I'm angry about...

people in tube stations trying to get through the wrong side of gates. And then trying to go through again, mystified as to why the ticket is spurting back out at them.

There is a big red 'x No Entry' on that side for a reason, you plankton

[enfieldwhite]

Today I'm angry about someone at work who finds five reasons why he can't do something rather than one where he can.

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Today I''m angry at my team at work. Need there bloody heads knocking together

ugh. oh yes.

and people who use illness outbreaks for additional leave...

I won't do IKEA food comments anymore as its against the spirit of the thread!

I don't blame you, enfieldwhite, after all anyone who can't come up with more than five reasons is obviously incompetent and shouldn't have been employed in the first place.

Rather I call them my minions? servants? What is the politically correct term these days?

[InsaneApache]

I use untermensch.

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

I use untermensch.

Mind if I use that? Quite appropriate!

Just tell em, if they don't flip faster then they don't get the stars - it's as simple as that

Or decent guidance?

[Lord Kangana]

What you need to do is shout more. Use a few expletives and growl a lot. That way, if they have any problems, they'll be too scared to bother you with them. And its good stress relief.

Ahh the Gordon Ramsay school of line management!

They have that coming out of their ears. They just need to pull their finger out and stop bitching with each other. It's like managing a bunch of primary school kids at times

Women in petrol stations, for gods sake you don't have to bloke the whole entrance waiting for a pump on the same side as the filling point on your car, park close enough and the pipe will reach over!
