@ultimapaul @X_The_Andy_X @PCrewe74 @Demo4fhs So you want to see doctors surgery's overwhelmed by folks who took a sick day because they got a 24 hour stomach bug?

@gluten_free_dih @WateryLn @HenryReternal @arbrax It doesn't have an IQ it's a predictive mathematical model, but you would know that if you didn't have the IQ of a chair.

@GunningBrenda @reformexposed @Zokko18 @GoodwinMJ When I was down on my luck living in Birmingham it was my Muslim, Hindu, and sikh neighbours that looked after me and made sure I had food and such. The people like you couldn't give a shit.

@Rab_Dickson1 @davelodwig Patronising

[David J. Lodwig @davelodwig]

But yet those younger generations are subject to endless jibes and attacks about too many coffees or "avocado toasts" and that's ok is it. Or is the fact it's now a 6 or 7 times salary multiplier to get a mortgage instead of the 3x back in the 90's

[David J. Lodwig @davelodwig]

Boomers are such cowards, no one had it harder than them apparently. Unfortunately economics doesn't give a fuck about their feelings.

[David J. Lodwig @davelodwig]

@Rab_Dickson1 So while we don't have 15% rates, 6% on a 300k mortgage is worse because maths. And so yeah the youngsters are pissed off, and you should be too because we fucked our kids future so a bunch of billionaires could get richer.

[David J. Lodwig @davelodwig]

@Rab_Dickson1 And there isn't too many of those because shock horror, wages haven't kept up with inflation, let alone house prices. And you have to save for this house while paying hideously high rents and then can't borrow the sorts of money you'd been paying rent for.

@johnthebikeman I think the problem here is that not that they are republicans but are disgusted that Charles II isn't as racist as they are.

@helenvecht @weegiewheelercc Bought my first mobile in 1999 while at university, still have the same number now.

[David J. Lodwig @davelodwig]

@helenvecht @SandyofSuffolk @helenvecht this whole thread is older people doing various versions of the 4 Yorkshiremen sketch while bashing other parents. It's tedious and unnecessary frankly. I'm a bit fed up of being told I'm doing it wrong by a generation that refuses to accept any of its mistakes.

Before I bought a house I had 12 landlords. I had to drag 6 of them through court to either reclaim my deposit or get repairs done.

[Ben Walker @BNHWalker]

Landlord there, v keen on applying for bailiffs to evict his tenant on/from Christmas Eve...

[David J. Lodwig @davelodwig]

This is why I used to carry an indicating hammer.

[Cycling For Mind @CyclingForMind]

Contains 🤬. One of the scariest experiences I've had in my many kilometers and years of cycling. A look of pure contempt on the driver's face. There are many things I would like to describe them as, but since I've reported it, I'll keep those thoughts to myself.

[David J. Lodwig @davelodwig]

@cycling_dave They literally make shit up and then get angry with it. Maybe they should go for a nice bike ride to help them feel calm.

[David J. Lodwig @davelodwig]

@Nineball_crnpkt @JackWDart Hey yank, how many kids got shot to death in American schools this week? Maybe you should fix your own country before talking shit about someone else's.

[David J. Lodwig @davelodwig]

@cycling_dave So piracy then, has he forgotten he's not in the military anymore and can't go boarding other people's boats migrant or otherwise. Also don't we still hang pirates.

[David J. Lodwig @davelodwig]

@cycling_dave Some of the comments though maybe they are full of it or maybe they've bought into this prat's rhetoric.

[David J. Lodwig @davelodwig]

@cycling_dave What is it with right wing Christians forcing their religion on others. Last time I checked Nepal was a Buddhist country.
