I’m guessing you all caught the breathless TV ‘reporting’ of the announcements regards A-level exam results. I have to say I was impressed and reassured by the kids – sorry, young adults – smart turnout, in various school uniforms, for this important moment in their lives. Oh, wait an important but mainly bedraggled rag-tag moment.
All those interviewed expressed how it was well, so, I mean, like, totally awesome that they’d, like, got ‘x’ passes so could, like, go to uni. and, like, you know, get a degree in, like, something easy and useless. Oh, and I’m, like, really, really excited about being, in like, debt for like, years to come.
And that is a brief look at this countries future. Looks like all hope is lost. That would be the little hope still left to lose at this point in time.
Then I saw an item about recruiting for the RAF. Something to do with having to prioritise ethnics when recruiting. Did they misspell Africa as I’ve searched my atlas front to back and even did a search of Google maps but I just couldn’t find this country called Ethnic of which they speak. Oh, seems I got that wrong as well. Anyhoo, regards this, refer to paragraph three again...

Mac,
You know its A Level results day when the rich blokes who had rich parents tell kids to not worry about failing, because they failed and are rich today.
Which had nothing whatsoever to do with their rich parents getting them jobs.
Its all a scam. Unless those kids who don't fail have rich parents they will end up neck deep in student loans, to pay for meaningless uni degrees and still end up shelf stacking in supermarkets, whilst never having learned any of the truly important stuff in life, like survival during hard times or having to think beyond a smart phone. They have no concept of true independence so will expect the state to sort it out.
Our parents had nothing, yet we were very wealthy in the things that mattered, the things that prepared us for later life.
On a lighter note, remember me mentioning a Birds Eye advert for fake chicken, where the little woke kid guilt trips the mother? Here's how that advert should have been done.

Ripper,
Couldn't agree more old friend. What did they used to call it? The school of hard knocks.
I bet those A-level exams aren't any great brain burners either.
Just away to watch your vid link. Thanks as ever.
