The "younger generation" again not the song which I remember but the younger generation of today what a difference from when I was classed as a part of that. The younger generation of today is totally different for instance if they have an argument with someone in school it's not just a good old fist fight now it's knifes and guns perhaps not going home with just a black eye but maybe not going home at all or worst of all in a coffin. If they have homework in my days when I couldn't do one of the assignments I'd ask my mam or dad to help me but nowadays there's no need for that the younger generation just use their mobiles and ask a friend or even get them to text the answer to them, homework done, is that cheating or is that the way learning is today. If we of the older generation wanted something for Christmas it was most probably a bycycle, scooter or a special toy but nowadays it's the best mobile, electric romobile, computer to play games on the tv like PlayStation (every year a new one) not a nice pair of jeans but ones that have holes in them, what's the world coming to. When we went out with our friends we had an apple or orange for energy but now it's all in a can, vitamins as well everything that they need they can buy and who has to pay for it the parents, when I was younger I had a paper round where I got up early before school and dilivered papers door to door for extra pocket money but that's a thing of the past, no more, just ask the parents for money as if they were the local bank, now the parents have to work hard to pay bills and put food on the table without being asked all the time for money so that the younger generation can go out and enjoy themselves. The music's different,now you can hardly understand the words let alone remember them. I still remember songs from the 60's, 70's and 80's and can still sing along with them in my head not out loud because I can't sing, the programs on the tv are different all it is now is reality shows and the such like not good old fashioned comedy series or series about real life but made for tv, no more getting married just living together with the help of their parents to find a flat, the worst things we did was perhaps drinking underage or smoking a cigarette if you had enough money but now it's drugs that you can buy almost anywhere, I really can't get on with this new generation and I miss the time when I was younger and had proper friends who I could talk to face to face with not on a mobile, perhaps I'm just an old fuddy duddy(strange word) but one that explains what I and so many other parents feel like. What do you think am I right or wrong, comment if you agree or disagree and don't forget to share if like reading my little blog, thank you.

Luck

Luck, do you believe in it, like finding a four leaf clover, a bird shiting on you, is that going to bring you luck or do you just make your own luck? Some people have so called luck by winning the lottery, winning on online gambling or winning on the stock market, are these all attributed to luck, good question but if you think about it everything that you bet on is controlled by a computer or little balls spinning around in a plastic globe, you win, is that really luck? How do you define what luck really is, I'm not sure but I think you make your own luck. For instance I made my own luck by going to a cafe and meeting my wife who worked there, I made my own luck during the war in Croatia by doing what I had been taught and stayed alive, my wife and I were lucky enough to have three children when there are other married people who can't have children, are those examples of luck or destiny? In a way you could say that it was my destiny to get married not just luck, which is it ...

T+L

Well at long last it seems that there may be a break in our heatwave, last night after the temperature hitting a huge 40 degrees it started to thunder and lightning but did the heavens open for rain to fall, no only a few spots, I could probably drink more water than fell from the sky, at least it's a little cooler 19 and set to rise to a reasonable 35 degrees which is a bit more bearable. It's Sunday the end of the weekend and again it seems that my wife and I will be on our own, my youngest daughter and her fiance are going here and there to visit his family and I'm not sure if my eldest daughter will be here so it's going to be a weird Sunday but peaceful. It's going well for Ukraine from looking at all the media as Ukraine is still taking over more of russia and blowing up bridges so the idiot can't resupply his troops and he is also bombing his own country with missiles, what a shame the ordinary people who so called voted for the puppet master are having t...

The other foot

I bet that the president of Ukraine is now extatic when the shoe is on the other foot and the idiot in the Kremlin is getting a right good kicking. It's been so long since the people of Ukraine had something to be happy about and not feel miserable every day. They may be still losing their homeland little by little every day but I now think that perhaps the tide is turning. The incursion into the russian motherland which is the first time since WW11 is an early Christmas present after all the suffering that they have endured physically, mentally and the bodies of their loved ones coming home from the front in boxes. Now it's the turn of the russian people to be upset and experience what the ordinary people of Ukraine have for so long. The Ukrainians have gone on the rampage and are taking russian soil not inch by inch but mile by mile, now there's a sense of jubilation among the people of Ukraine and the mood of the ordinary people of Russia has turned against the puppet ma...
