Quote from: shoulders on June 26, 2022, 07:45:54 PMMost people don't expect that, they just ask that this wealth isn't used to deny other people a chance, as happens with BTL landlordism.

They will inherit houses that have been used for this very purpose, some continue the rent racket, some sell the asset. 

Either way it is accrued through BTL landlordism.

And they shouldn't use houses they inherit for that purpose. What did I just say?

WHO REMEBERS THE MILK MAN AND LANDLINES AND ANSWERING MACHINES AND VIDEOPLUS 😭
No joke, I saw one of those 'when I were a lad it were all fields round here' memes from the fucking '90s. About how kids played outdoors and we only had 4 channels and drank from the garden hose blah blah. My childhood has now become nostalgia fetish meme material. Although people doing the 'when I were a lad in the '90s we never had these newfangled screen things, we played outdoors' make me raise an eyebrow because I distinctly remember the '90s being the decade where video games blew up and parents, one of whom was my mum, were constantly worrying about the kids spending all day indoors sitting on their fat bums playing Sonic the Hedgehog.

Yeah I was basically hooked on games from about 98 and my mum was constantly going on at me to get outside with my friends (which to be fair i did sometimes but no more or less than kids do today surely). There must be a better way of growing older instead of just harkening back to a past that never existed.

I read what you said but it doesn't account for how the asset has been built.  You think that someone that inherits 3 BTL properties and then liquidates them (possibly selling them to another BTL) isn't problematic?  A strange take.

As I said the asset works as a vehicle for savings (one that is has already been set up to speculate via house prices) and you can gift it to your kids so you don't have to pay any inheritance tax.

It was bloody inconvenient having to drink from the garden hose all the time, trailing it round the streets and into school with you, feeding it through a gap in the window. Kids these days don't know they're born with their cheeky Volvics.

JUST SO YOU KNOW... I was well aware of the 'remember spangles?' shite long, long before any of you cunts. Especially YOU... Just fuckin' look at yourself, cunt:D

I don't get those shit Boomer poems, I really don't. Do they actually want to go back to not having an inside toilet or central heating, everyone being too poor for there to be any crime, coal fires, kids being riddled with headlice and being freezing cold all the time? Do they look at families struggling to keep warm and think 'lucky bastards'? I'm guessing the answer is 'do they fuck'.

Also, if you wash your kid's mouth out with soap, you're an evil abusive cunt and you shouldn't be allowed near children. I read some real horror stories on Mumsnet by people whose parents did things like brushing their teeth with soap and refusing to let them rinse their mouths with water, or shoving a flannel into their mouths and making them gag, or squirting detergent into their mouths (tbf, most of them are against corporal punishment but there's a few 'well my mum called me a fucking whore for wearing make-up as a child and scrubbed it off so hard she made my face bleed, and we laugh about it now, it did me no harm' types, and yes, this is an actual quote).

I don't think it's really the things themselves they miss, though, it's their youth, and nostalgia for those bygone things acts as a sort of proxy for the feeling of being young and having their whole lives ahead of them, etc.

Kankurette

Given the contempt for younger generations dripping from the poems, you'd think they'd be glad not to be young anymore. Dreary alter kockers.

There's is the first generation to have an active old age.  People were much older at younger ages in the past.  I think they in a way they resent this as they are living their best lives but they are older and therefore feel like their childhood was robbed (jeez I feel a bit like this but I prefer the approach of saying I don't want other people to got through the same). Plus marketing and idealistic notions of life via the TV makes everyone miserable and inadequate, young people just tend to evoke that naivety and ignorant bliss to all of it.

It's a mixed bag also absolutely no way all Boomers are the same my old man would come across as a grumpy old Boomer but that is because he hates Boomers, watches Novara all the time and is miserable about their not being anything a leftwing socialist party in power for the vast majority of his life.

It's a very common thing, the "I had it shit so you should pull yourself through the broken glass and call it character building" schtick its a strategy for dealing with trauma I guess.

@Bigfella if you want to talk about republicanism then there is no real need to be so cryptic just start a thread.

Kids these days will never get to take the piss out of their mate's parent's telephone answering voices.

You don't see happy slapping anymore. Back in the day it was big in the news, but I've not seen it mentioned for a decade or so. You'd think with the vast improvements in mobile phone camera technology, you'd get HD happy slapping, maybe slow motion. TikTok seems perfect for happy slapping. Are Gen Z/Alpha just less vicious? Probably too busy with Fortnite and detergent pod eating challenges.

Wow, just checking the Wikipedia page on Happy Slapping. It featured in Coronation Street in 2013, which seems to be 2 years after any other reference to the phenomenon. This doesn't really sound like happy slapping though: "In Coronation Street in November 2013, Simon Barlow was the victim of a happy-slapping incident caused by Faye Windass and Grace Piper. Simon was attacked, forced into one of his cousin Amy's dresses and had lipstick tried to be applied to him. Grace filmed while Faye attacked him."

Also: "Though the term usually refers to relatively minor acts of violence such as hitting or slapping the victim, more serious crimes such as the manslaughter of a pensioner and sexual assault have been classified as 'happy slapping' by the BBC."

Kids assault people they know and film it rather than strangers now. It's called "patterning".

She loved it so much that, earlier this year, she bought a house on the outskirts of the festival so she would never miss it again.

"The estate agent said my house was a mile from the Pyramid Stage as the crow flies, and when I saw that advert, I said to my husband, 'we have to have it'.

Glastonbury is about as counter-cultural as a KPMG team lunch at Nando's Canary Wharf. Peak radio 2 "dancing round the kitchen!!" shit.

Into the bin, please.

Heard she was throwing shapes at The Other Stage to a Kaiser Chiefs knockoff outfit along with Mike Gapes and the cheese bloke from Blur.

Leadership material? Could be, could be.
