NurembergVillan Posted July 16, 2014 Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2014 Think I've said it before on here but imo the clever people are getting cleverer and the stupid people are getting stupider. I heard some factoid on the radio the other day to the effect that in most European countries, the younger generation are better educated and have a broader general knowledge than their parents, but in Britain the reverse is true. Make of it what you will. Britain is a shit country that is going to the dogs. I think that's well established. Er, no, I don't think it is, actually. I think the debate on Britain and the state it is in, good or bad deserves a thread of it's own. It's a really good and the opinions of people on this interest me greatly. I won't start it though. I would like this thread too but will also not start it. Why do so many people things this country is going down hill? Also to keep on topic - the amount of sarcasm on this site and the fact it becomes catching. I've done it. Let's go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted July 17, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2014 With half my family being Irish, wakes inevitably involve mucho alcohol. Always seems to work in a good way, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I never go to wakes, my nan died this year and I was very close to her, after the funeral I went home as I cant switch off and pretend to be ok by celebrating someones life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 A woman at work who was sent on a course to become a fire marshall for the building doesn't want to be one any more because she doesn't like the florescent jacket they've sent her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the pub my sister used to work at, they would hold a lot of wakes as the place is quite close to a crematorium. The landlord at the time was from Chile, a real character... At one wake, the family had brought a framed picture of the person who had died and put it on the bar and while the family were in another part of the pub he picked up the picture and said to my sister "It's a shame, she was a looker" and gave the picture a kiss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismail-villa Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Trying to sleep when it's hot as hell. Window wide open, but I have to have a bit of blanket on me no matter what. And i don't get how people sleep naked, it's too uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
