Quote Of The Month

Longrider points out the absurdity of blaming the Baby Boomer Generation for everything:
"I have to say, I’ve been sick of the anti-boomer barrage of bollocks over the past few years. The reality is as stated in the report, the only commonality is the year of birth. Sure, things like university education was free to the student and people had grants for subsistence. However, this was balanced by very few going to university. "

And there we have it, very few going to university (i.e. those with aptitude and intelligence). Something I can't help but feel was a good idea, then again I'm sure knitting studies students might disagree.

Bound to make a man of you or somesuch.

It was. When something's ubiquitous, what is its value?

"...graduates of which are in desperately short supply in this country..."

Someone has to ask you if you want fries with that...

"Way back then there was always the chance of 18 months miltary training."

I doubt the Army or Navy would be the natural choice for today's entitlement generation.
