Where did we go wrong? (A Rant, sorry )....

[bezzer]

What the fook is wrong with the younger ones today, used to be teenagers were spoilt little whingers who couldn't do anything for themselves and didnt ever think of helping someone else but eventually grew out of it by legal pub age and became close to being a human being. Now they're still acting the same well into their 20's.

Today all within an hour or so saw the lad next door (23) come out, move their wheelie bin (that had just been emptied and was on the pavement) because it was by his car door and put it across the entrance to their drive, then drove off. Came back a short time later, moved the bin again back onto the pavement to clear the drive so he could drive in and wash his car off on the drive, just didnt enter his head that the bin was empty and he could move it about 15 feet to put it back at the side of the house where it belonged, it stayed there until tonight when his mum got in and she put it back.
But to top it before this happened I was walking past another near neighbours and saw the woman (60 odd years old who has terminal breast cancer all one side of her chest/arm has already been eaten away and she's in the middle of more chemo treatment) struggling to move her wheelie bin from the side of her house to the pavement, having a real struggle and there not 6 feet away is one of her daughters (23-24) just watching. Couldn't believe it , went and moved the bin for her and the girl just stayed there looking confused that someone was capable of helping someone else.

What's going to happen when we get to OAP status, I'm worried to fookin death that this current shower of shit are the ones that will be running the country then.
Or will they?, read today that we're breeding such a lazy, overweight and unfit load of kids that their life expectancy is going to be less than ours. I'm as guilty as anyone else I've got a lad 23 who'd put Swampie to shame and a daughter 25 who gets through more vodka than Taz though in my defence I blame their mother who I divorced 12 years ago.

Rant over, sorry about that

Now hang fire right there dude and let me put yer straight on one thing - if I get drunk on voddie, it's just the one glass, not a fookin bottle full Yer confusing my drinking habits with those of my wife again who is wading her way through a bottle as I speak (well, type anyway)

As for the lazy barstids of today/tomorrow - my eldest lad is 27, and has got past the stage where he can take his hands out of his pockets and do something with his life and is being very successful My daughter at 23 thinks life is just about her and how much money she can spend in a short space of time before expecting MORE because she ran out Typical woman The youngest lad at 16 was spotted raking leaves off the lawn the other day - but that could have been due to the fact that I was pissed off with him and he wanted to get back in my good books so I'd pay for him to go ice skating All in all, I suppose I'm reasonably fortunate - but all that could change too if I ever need to depend on the buggers

Its down to the body mass/alcohol ratio matey. One glass for the Taz dude is the same a 1 litre bottle to most other people

BRING BACK NATIONAL SERVICE (Cripes, that sounds like my dad.)
