Chilcare !!! Didn't even exist when we had our kids, neither did maternity leave or maternity pay. Female and have a kid = leave your job, there was no choice. This whole the codgers had it easier is bollocks and boils my piss. My Mrs left her job and went out cleaning a pub at 11 every night, when we had our first, so we could make ends meet (just). I also think that there is so much more that people want to do these days, travel, nights out, entertainment etc. That kids would get in the way of that and folks just don't want that burden, they want to enjoy life because there's shitloads more that's accessible to see/do than ever before. Yeah folks can't afford kids because it'd curtail what they actually do like to spend their money on. I don't know any of my kids' mates/generation who wanted kids who hasn't had them, I know a few who are in the "kids!! Fuck that" category too. The issue is down to technological advances and improved efficiencies without a corresponding increase in wages for those still working, with profits retained by corporations/shareholders. If wages had correspondingly kept pace and people could maintain their lifestyles AND have kids pretty sure it'd change, but maintaining your lifestyle and having kids has NEVER been a thing (for the masses) and the script used to be, get married, have kids, no matter how hard that would be, it's what you did, it's not now.

Quite happy in my trench, thanks 👍

Taste and lack of taste demonstrated in a single sentence, ying and yang.

Seems The Rangers are becoming serial losers, evidently their game was all Brann.

No need to get in a moog!!

Well given American football is fandabydozy, I'll take that as an endorsement of Marylin 👍

Glorious slo-mo

Aye that was a bit of a fuck up (or duck up)

Aye, me too, and also Newman and all the synth wankers. Although I have mellowed towards Newman in my old age. The only acceptable version of Tainted Love:

Careful, he may offer you out for a scrap, sort of a rumba in the jungle.

I shall consult with my source tomorrow at OCBC* on the vibes if any, in that regard. *Old cunts breakfast club.

Oh aye, the good old "a big lad did it and ran away" defence.

None of his outlandish comments even acknowledges that the rat didn't have a full pre-season BECAUSE THE CUNT WAS ON STRIKE.

Oh my good lord !!

Let us know what you think of the ending, when you eventually get there.
