[Closed] What is happening in this country

mleh.

ditch the TV.
Move somewhere the chavs havent found yet.
And curl up in the soft warm glow of ignorance of and indifference to the clusterf*** around you.
Just like me 😉

Yep, best to leave her now if she's watching that kind of crap.

by 'here' do you mean, room, house, town, county, country, planet or galaxy?

Theres nothing wrong with the country, theres just something wrong with your TV, it seems to be full of crap

country.

I have lived in a bubble for the last couple of years and manage to avoid this shit, this has just reminded me of the crap

Yep - there's no crap anywhere else in the world, it's all here.

Bye

too many people watch tv and have never read a book.

I have read a book!

Its on in the background my GF is watching it as she used to work in a family assesment centre and is training to be a counsellor.

Am not saying every teenager is like this but , when i was that age the drug dealers / naughty boys etc at least some sense.

OP this stuff always existed you've just not seen it before.

Not everyone has had the opportunities you have.

My wife sits there watching America's next top model, pop idol, etc and wonders why i'm on my laptop!

OP this stuff always existed you've just not seen it before.

Not everyone has had the opportunities you have.

yet i do think the scallies today are thicker than the ones i grew up with.

No they havent had the opportunities i have had but then they also havent had some of the shit i have had to deal with either.

anyway, i'll just go back to my little world and shut up and let it carry on.

Druid , am not saying all the bad stuff is here in the UK but we do have a problem with teenage pregnancy , drinking, drug use in this country when compared to the rest of Western Europe

stoner - where are you and can I come?

Surely that's only a problem if you don't like picking up young, drunk/drugged girls for casual sex though.

I [i]think[/i] there's a law that says you have to be older than 26 before you start threads about how things were better in the old days. 😉

JT - Im in malvern - where we lack chavs, we are blessed with a lilac of old people instead! 🙂

I was seriously discussing the benefits of the hermit life with nickc this weekend.
We were at 2,000 in the beacons with not a soul in sight for 360 degrees and miles of mountain moor in each direction. It seemed appropriate at the time 🙂

My wife also watches all the crap TV, most nights, tonight it was Emmerdale, Corrie, Eastenders then Corrie again & she's forever watching Come dine with me. The days she's not working she watches even crappier stuff like Jeremy Kyle, wife swap etc. the lazy bitch hardly does any housework like she's meant to.
So if she's only your GF, ditch her now as it will get expensive if you marry the lazy cow & then decide you are fed up of having to get your own breakfast & having to iron a shirt before you wear it coz she's been watching crap TV when she should have been doing housework.

And see my point above if the potential lack of nookie is worrying you.

I have read a book!

Well done!

I blame America.

What are you on about, Stoner?

Reminds me I was going to start a thread on a related topic...

which are the clever, cultural countries ?

This country is what you make of it... If you want you can watch all the **** on TV, or do something worthwhile with your life. The opportunities are there, you just need to take them.

[i]which are the clever, cultural countries ? [/i]
I'm struggling with this one too. I like to think I've travelled a bit and everywhere is full of ****wits. I try to avoide them as much as I can, there's nice people in between them.

And if people think British TV is bad, try watching some of the Spanish or American channels. Don't forget, we only buy the 'best' of American tv, the rest is so bad it's laughable.

Turn off the TV. Easy.

It's not the Chavs you need to look out for, it's the were-ponies...

Give it 10 or so years the oil will start to go and the lack of industrialised food production means the population will begin to collapse.

Unfortunatley the scallies will probably band together to hunt down and eat the liberal middle classes, screaming like gibbons.

so maybe its a new evolutionary step, albeit backwards?

It could be worse. Your tv could be [url=

of lizards![/url]

The upwardly-sloping main street is too much for the frizzy-haired truants, though, so they never quite get to see the true wonders of the Malvern hills that would thus save them from Chav Fire and Brimstone

There's your problem - you live down in the flatlands. Chavs cant breathe at high altitude so we havent got any up here 🙂

Were-ponies. Come in the night they do. 🙁

LOL at aracer - that certainly does describe the Malvern Lowlands.

You forget they make it up as far as the Wine Bar and the Uniyawn. 🙂

That's still far below the treeline: You need to climb higher where the air is rarified and doesnt contain high enough quantities of vapourised Fosters which the chavs need for respiration/reproduction.

If they make it to the Lamb, they're never seen again.... 😆

JT - Im in malvern - where we lack chavs

You're having a laugh aren't you? Ive only been there twice but it seemed to have its fair share, coming up from Ledbury! Christ that place is a mess of a weekend.

My stratgey of ignorance and indifference appears to be working it would seem. 🙂

It will be until someone walks all over your car/bike/garden and trashes things. Or until you get mugged in town. Or until one moves in next door and your town becomes hell like the rest of them! Revel while you can!

You've got to keep positive! sometimes watching the f#ckwits on the J K show gives me a smug feeling of achievement , It can be very good for the soul to see just how thick, ignorant and ugly these people are, sometimes im jealous because they do seem to shag loads though. The other thing is im being paid to watch them while at work.
I think they should put a ticker along the bottom of the screen telling us viewers what benifits they get so we can see how well are taxes bare being spent.

me finished

you have to watch these programmes for a living ??!??! 😮

I'd demand danger money!

ck - you make Malvern sound like Moss Side 🙂

There's the normal summer louts drinking tinnies in the park which gets all the blue rinsers hyper-ventilating and banging out letters to the editor of the Gazette, but it's not a town you're going to get mugged in.

100th anniversary of the Morgan car factory at the moment so the town is overrun with cars from all over the continent. And Wye Valley have brought out a superb new beer in commemoration too. Lovely. 🙂

ha! Proof! I think I shall write a paper on the correlation between chav density and altitude 🙂
http://westmercia.crimemapper.co.uk/map/?q=great+malvern&url=

Chavland down in the bogs averages 8 crimes per 1,000 per month,
up here in the angellic heights its 4 crimes per 1,000 per month.

Ledbury is positively overun with crims at 5 per 1,000 per month 🙂

If you are looking for a book to read try

If you are believing all these teenage pregnancy, drinking, crime stats then find out where they came from and what they mean. The media thrives on a "Perception Gap", it uses statistics in a very divisive way to create news where non really exists. There are some superb illustrations of this, and Teenage Pregnancy is one of them. Bad information is so prevalent and saturates so deeply that even people with expertise in a field believe the guff over what they see with their own eyes.

As an amusing aside my dad got a job with an education authority once, and between getting the job and starting on his first day new areas of responsibility kept being added to his role. He started out in charge of Art and design, then art and design and technology, then domestic science was added, then special education was added, and education for teenagers is detention and the list kept growing.

On his first day there was a big conference where he was introduced and the long list of his responsibilities was read out, with a new one. The guy introducing him added "...... and he's also responsible for all the pregnant teenagers in Greater Manchester"

I flicked past the trouble with girls and ended up watching it. I kind of felt sorry for them to be honest 🙁

Yeah I know people will get on their STW steeds and shout down from on high about how they had it hard and came good etc but I could see how they were trapped in their cycle of prison / minor offences.

I believe I have already recommended Thoreau's splendid [i]Walden[/i].

would a hermit want to read about the life of a hermit?

😕

[i]would a hermit want to read about the life of a hermit?[/i]

"We read to know we are not alone...." - [i]Hello[/i] excepted, of course.

Thoreau wasn't really a hermit, anyway. More of an overgrown cub scout. 8)
