I like a bit of volume at times ( with my music). . I’d happily sit near you , even though not keen on Springsteen , because I’d know you’d be moving on to Meatloaf next , then maybe Lynrd Skynrd and different stuff ( with actual tunes and lyrics) . It’s the boom boom base that is identical for every “ track” , every “ artist” no sing a long that gets on my tits
I love a bit volume, can't beat some good music cranked up.
The wife drinks these coffee bags and on the rare occasion I make her a cuppa all I can smell is cigarette smoke. Minging
Got no issue with music and people playing music, but I DO have an issue when someone is playing a video or a tune on their phone in the middle of a pub, restaurant or aeroplane.
Are we having a discussion about coffee now
When I go to Costa (and most other places) I find that the latteis just like hot milk, so I always take sachets of coffee to give it some strength, which makes the difference . . . . and I refuse to pay extra for another 'shot' to make it the quality that it should be in the first place
Of the big chains, Cafe Nero is too strong and tastes now't like latte should, as is Starbucks.
Local tea rooms are generally okay, with the help of sachets, and McDonalds & Greggs are surprisingly alright
It's indicative of lazy parenting. I've lost count of the times we've been out and the parents just stick an ipad in the bairns mits and tell them to watch it. How the hell are the bairns supposed to develop social skills?
The ones riding around in the shopping trolley with a screen to watch !!!!!!!
Pisses me off that parents these days expect their kids to be taught about life from a computer screen and whatever they can find on social media or youtube, how do we expect them to grow up with values and respect when they are basically fending for themselves. I know a few school teachers and all they complain about is parents who expect them to parent their children for them. FFS this world lurches from bad to worse kids are growing up and are being taught to be selfish and inconsiderate by ****tards and coke heads who to be honest should have been neutered at birth as they cant look after themselves never mind kids.
Agree. You've saved me some typing. I'll just add, McD teaches eating with fingers, and too many parents then rely on pizza etc at home -- then it's expected that the teachers have to teach the kids about knives and forks. The parenting world thats becoming.Pisses me off that parents these days expect their kids to be taught about life from a computer screen and whatever they can find on social media or youtube, how do we expect them to grow up with values and respect when they are basically fending for themselves.

as you can probably tell that I have little faith in future generations as being inconsiderate becomes the norm.
I work in construction and finding good hard working young people is difficult as they a lot of them seem to think the world owes them something as soon as they are born and that they have some kind of entitlement to be paid for not working. They will spend more time looking for a way not to do something instead of working out how it can be achieved.
Big Rant Over For Today (pleased i got that off my chest)
Yeah, wouldn't disagree. My wife is a teacher and some of the stories I hear are unbelievable (there are probably loads more but my attention wanes after the 3rd one of the day) - parents who give their kids no discipline, but then march up to the school claiming little Shearer has been assaulted by the teacher and demanding action whilst wearing the ADHD diagnosis like a badge of honour.Pisses me off that parents these days expect their kids to be taught about life from a computer screen and whatever they can find on social media or youtube, how do we expect them to grow up with values and respect when they are basically fending for themselves.

My mate was the Headmaster at Scawby school and he disciplined a lad about 11 years old. The following day the kids father who was in prison used his prison phone card to ring him and tell him when he got out he was coming to the school to stab him. This is to a school where they had just won a top award from Ofsted, hate to think what a bad school is like.
It's horrific mate. Society seems to downgrade with each generation
During the 2 lockdowns in 2021 & 2022 my missus was on sabbatical so was able to manage the kids' schooling (thank God) but I know a lot of my son's mates were basically allowed to spend 18 months playing FIFA/Fortnite as the parents had no interest (the same parents who were apparently "happy" if my Son wanted to stay over whenever he wanted when we were all supposed to be staying at home - no thanks. ****s)
