What a bitter man you are. I was going to say little man but of course that would be highly inaccurate.
I left home a couple of months after my 17th birthday and moved away. Not living with mum like so many do now until they are 30.
Never needed to have to get people to sponsor me to get from a morbidly obese **** down to a merely obese fat one.

Massive Cringe.

You reek of envy. Have I been sponsored to lose weight? I don’t recall but I hope it was Krispy Kremes doing the sponsoring.

Left home? Chucked out for been ****, or more likely locked up for been dosile ****.

im 44. Mortgage free. Semi retired. Long professional career behind me.

who are these people you describe? Maybe in Bridlington. Step into the real world, the next generation are normally much more successful than the one before. And with a much better attitude.

Yes, I keep reading about the well off, successful younger generations in Hull happy with their interesting, well paid jobs. That is why nothing was closing down and everything was booming before the pandemic,

I’m happy, agreeable & hate lard. Get you battery on charge your running low with excess boring repetitiveness. It’ll be spelling mistakes next.

You shouldn’t be wasting your final years making **** jokes on here. Having people laugh at your embarrassing fat jokes. Maybe go for some 12v exercise.

Got a bee in your bonnet about mobility scooters, haven't you? Can still walk down to the pub, which is the main thing.

Count me out; I own two properties, have a professional career, I’ve been to five of the seven continents, have an intelligent little girl, another on the way and I’m in perfect physical health.
True enough, some of my peers don’t and that’s a shame, but I wouldn’t swap my generation for any of the ones above. Maybe for the ones below, they’ll have it best.

Hope you check things more than this bloke before sending them out to pupils.<laugh>
Though readingbthe headline I thought the offensive thing about owls was them being connected to Sheffield Wednesday.

Good on you. Most of your generation won't do what you have. They won't get the chance to get on the property ladder and will have crap pensions unless in a very limited number of professiohs.
Kids in their teens have less freedoms than those in the 1960s and 1970s. We were lucky because we had more than the ones in the 1950s. Go back to the 1960s and the only reason to be out of work was because you wanted to be.

I mean it's pretty generalised; all but two of my closest friends (out of 10) are working professionals and one is a private contractor who makes more than I do. The aims have changed for many people; getting on the property ladder isn't seen as the immediate need that it once was, likewise marriage and children. Of that circle I mentioned, only three of us have children and only two of us are married. Being married, owning a house, going to university, these things don't validate you as a person like they once did, I'd say society is far more accepting of different attitudes than it once was and that's reflected in the housing and jobs market. Technology has also changed things massively, it's made the world a lot smaller and therefore a lot easier to make money out of. There are people on Youtube who talk for ten minutes about nothing in particular and they make millions.

The needs and wants of society shift as time goes by, what applies to one generation doesn't necessarily apply to another. The generation of my daughter will be better than mine, technologically, scientifically and almost certainly spiritually. Everything will be easier for them and that's exactly what I want for her.

I don’t mind them. It’s ****s like you driving them, shouting out unfunny & embarrassing fat jokes that’s a pain in the arse.

You can’t walk anywhere you unfit ****.

So, who are all these poor young people struggling against adversity and who will never have the things the selfish boomers took for granted we hear so much about? Never seen a documentary on the TV about how much better off and happier young people are nowadays. Seen lots of doom and gloom ones though.
Because your circle of friends are professionals means nothing. That is just a few people.Go around the pubs in Hull and see how many groups of professionals are sat about.

I hardly use it. And when I do don't shout out. Even at obese ****s blocking the pavement.

But that's society in general, there are people who are successful and people who aren't. Most of the people I've met or seen sat in pubs around Hull are my father's generation, born in the 50s by the looks of them. I'd wager many had to sit through the problems brought on by the trawler industry decline, so it won't have been peaches and cream for them either.

It is harder for young people to buy property, but that doesn't necessarily mean all of them are trying to. Not everybody wants to go to university, even though it's much easier to do so today than it was 50 years ago. It's horses for courses; happy people don't make for good tv so there's never going to be a documentary about how well people working on the internet are doing.
