Gee im agreeing with me dad now

lol quite true n its getting worse with all this PC interferance most schools now are opting to be less competitive within their pupils ie phazing out sports day n competitions like easter etc. They are promoting inclusion which means everyone gets an award n 'no winners' attitude, i tell u hot debate in staffrooms because no wonder some youngsters nowadays have no drive, ambition n expect everything to happen for them without the effort, trouble is its ok to have the PC attitude but REAL LIFE is competition - some succeeeding n some failings n a lot of effort, no wonder youngsters have difficulty when they find they fail or can win em all sort of speek n gee talk about dummies out of the pram!! they cant handle it cos they have been protected from it rather than prepared for it n to me that is as important as academicals in fact necessary life skills.

Im off me soapbox now lol

Ok they were hard and demanding but in general they were fair and gave a lot back - thanks to em all

I once saw Shaun and this was true, get 100 bubbly gums, the 1p pink ones into his mouth and attempt to chew which he did of sorts, after he got them all out he spewed, I've never seen a face so swollen don't know how he could breathe.

Agreed Shaun was ok, you might know but in the CB am days his handle was "Bubble", I never asked him if it was anything to do with the bubbly bet. All tosh has shrunk and you pay more now for less that's what makes Shauns 100 club more impressive.

How long did you work at the dairies?

staggeringman · 20-06-2005, 00:14

worked at dairies for 3 years! was also on the C.B handle WAS TROPHY BITTER, also the windup handle was sweaty sock!,used to know a lot from around this area.
