Logan's run anyone?

Posted by: newres Jan 21 2019, 02:14 PM

That's as well then.

So you think celebrating elderly people dying is something to celebrate? These #fbpe types and the 'final say" sounds a bit akin to something Hitler tried...You 🤡

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 21 2019, 04:53 PM

Soylent green anyone? Lovely as a side dish.

Gammons hate facts.

It's not celebrating is it, it's just making the point that as the boomers die off the world gets a little better. And the dynamic of the country changes.

Untill the next generation gets old enough.

What's the difference between a hampster and a hipster?

After ten minutes the hamster's still interesting.

It's so...funny. They don't realise that the remainers in 2016 are now 2 years older and are well on the way to leave. It's called wisdom.🤣

The next generation aren't widely regarded as the worst generation ever. The next generation have to sort out the mess left behind by the greed and selfishness of the baby boomers, who had everything on a plate but cannot stomach anyone else having a comfortable life.

Now they are going to be left to sort out Brexit as well.

Posted by: TallDarkAndHandsome Jan 21 2019, 09:23 PM

Or they benefit from the wisdom of their elders??? Do you have a time machine??? Tell me the future Mr Nostradamus.

The only plate I recall as a young person was an empty one caused by rationing. We had some form of education beaten into us and set about rebuilding a war ravaged europe and kicking out the old order. Eventually, (after the "froggy" general capitulated), we voted to join the common market despite the older members of the electorate still having strong reservations. We worked hard, (well most of us did), and built not only a rich country but a peaceful continent. Then it started going downhill as successive governments involved themselves in everyday life; so don't blame today's pensioners for the mess we are in, blame yourselves for electing such cretins to positions of power.

Don't blame anyone under 35... it can't possibly their fault. They have been brought up to expect EVERYTHING on a plate...

TODAY... I had a resumee from a 20 year old Costa coffee barrista applying for a job as a 100k a year Power BI and Azure ACCA or CIMA consultant.. I can learn on the job... Dear God.. the only reason I know is because our talent team nearly died laughing...

And that in a nutshell is why project fear is rife over leaving the EU. We are no longer prepared to work from the bottom up as we are told that by going to university we can walk straight into a "top" job. The realisation that this is not the case is as big a shock as the idea that we are now going to have to start working for our global position.

ps. Who do I forward my cv to?

Posted by: newres Jan 22 2019, 02:25 PM

Tell that to the young men fixing tourniquets to their wounded comrades in Afghanistan!

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 22 2019, 03:19 PM

Are we still out there?

Posted by: SirWilliam Jan 22 2019, 03:47 PM

We will still be there long after the yanks have departed and the taliban have gone back to fighting amongst themselves. The only place that Alexander 3rd of Macedon couldn't subjugate and he knew a thing or two about that; but our "thicko's" in power know best.

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 22 2019, 04:40 PM

Strange but quaint that a member from the left is thinking of 'our boys' when only last week members of the left desecrated several memorials to those who fought in WW2.

Posted by: newres Jan 22 2019, 05:41 PM

I wasn’t. I was pointing out how ridiculous it is to write off a whole generation.

And what’s a “talent team”?

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 22 2019, 05:44 PM

Something you're unlikely to meet.

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 22 2019, 09:05 PM

You could start here.
"A teenage supporter of Jeremy Corbyn who has been accused of hypocrisy on social media for accepting a scholarship to Eton has told his critics that he will use his education to “go out and tackle injustice”.

Sixteen-year-old Hasan Patel, a self-described socialist and avid supporter of the Labour leader, has accepted a £76,000 scholarship to study at Eton College, whose former pupils include Princes William and Harry, Boris Johnson and David Cameron."

Dear God...🤣🤣🤣🤣

Posted by: TallDarkAndHandsome Jan 22 2019, 09:57 PM

I'll give you a bit of guidance as you are so out of touch. When you need someone from a very limited and expensive talent pool with a specialised skill set you can either go to an agency to procure said talent from around the world at an excorbatent cost OR it will most likely be cost effective to you and the business to employ fulltime talent social media specialists to trawl through LinkedIn etc to try and find said talent for free. In large corporations this is very cost effective. End of lesson.

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 23 2019, 12:30 AM

Kids huh!

Posted by: newres Jan 23 2019, 10:31 AM

On here. That’s for sure.

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 23 2019, 10:54 AM

Posted by: newres Jan 23 2019, 01:56 PM

What we'd call head hunters? So really it's just a new name for a very old thing that's now a lot easier with social media. I'm guessing something that someone from Costa could do?

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 23 2019, 02:27 PM

I wouldn't lay money on the possibility that a Costa monkey could actually walk and chew gum at the same time.

Posted by: TallDarkAndHandsome Jan 23 2019, 03:24 PM

You are old. And out of touch.😂

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 23 2019, 04:58 PM

Limitless intelligence here.

At least most hippies went on to make a better world.

Posted by: TallDarkAndHandsome Jan 23 2019, 08:38 PM

Yeah but those hippies are old and Gammony now. They should all die!!! (According to Poly "Logan's run" Toynbee).
I always thought wisdom came with age but not anymore! 16 year olds are the answer to all our problems.😂

Posted by: x2lls Jan 23 2019, 09:10 PM

As AC once said here, I'm too old to know it all.
