I took a bit of a battering during the holidays from younger family members. I’m going to group the millennials together with Gen Z and Y as I don’t really know how to recognise which is which and because they all seem to believe in the carbon zero myth.
Anyway, I was watching an old episode of Fifth Gear where Tiff and Jason were racing two top of the range (in 2005) sports cars. An innocent pleasure as I hope you agree but I was chastened by GZ: “That’s all ancient history now. EVs are faster, cleaner, better.” Talk about raining on my parade. Now I can argue my corner with the best. Do me a favour, I replied, EVs are as soulless as domestic appliances. No, they are the future said GZ.
Interestingly, none of these GZs have actually embraced modern technology, they all run combustion cars. And why is this? Well, they are neither affordable nor practical and not even truly green and I told ’em so. The smug sods.
Incidentally, to my mind the Fifth Gear team are all turncoats. Former petrol heads transformed into airheads, they now front Fifth Gear Recharged. Pretending everything about EVs is great and ignoring, even deploring ICEs. Journalists are fickle aren’t they? The worst culprit though is Quentin Wilson, formerly of Top Gear who is now the biggest apologist for the electric revolution.
GZ are also in favour of driverless cars (God help us). Probably as they are too lazy to actually drive these days. To me, just sitting there watching the road while the car does everything is like taking the bus. I’m not convinced they are safe. My mate has a brand new MG EV. It has EU-dictated “safety” features. He was driving along a street when a pedestrian put one foot in the road. My mate made eye contact with the walker and there was no danger yet the automated emergency stop cut in and the car slammed the brakes on. The van behind smacked into his bumper. Another time the car also swung violently to the right when it thought it was veering out of lane.
Finally, we discussed AI. They are all for it. It’s the future you see and thus inevitable, not worth debating. GZ can’t wait to hand over control to automation. After all, humans have messed up the planet so let’s give machines a chance. Apparently, it hasn’t occurred to GZ that the robots may decide that as humans are to blame, it might be best to get rid of us all.
Then they really would be Generation Zero.

And on a very similar theme there’s this from Jeezum Priest
Gen-Z and WFH.
In a survey commissioned by Westleigh Roeca, director of business development for Lifesum ( no, me neither) found that over half 18 – 42 year old said they would turn down a job if they couldn’t mostly work from home.
Apparently, many of the 5000 polled started their careers (ha!) during the pandemic.
Debbie Porter, MD of Destination Digital Marketing says that in the last two years, University Graduates have requested 100% WFH, with some refusing to attend an in-person interview.
Ms. Porter says none of those applicants got very far, so good on her!
Hurry up, folks, the DWP sound like they’re recruiting, they might be willing to buy into this bullshit.
A little something about Westleigh Roeca, of Lifesum.

One problem solves the other, if you ain’t going to work you don’t need private transport..
Keep the roads clear for real workers.
17
Actually you may as well say “… if you ain’t going to work” full stop, as they’re far too busy looking at their phones – which is very tiring, doncha know!
7
Talking of tiring, any ideas why Firefox won’t let my Win10 desktop go sleep? I’ve tried powercfg /requestsoverride and it works on everything else but that. It worked fine until I had to reinstall windows yesterday.
0
There might be a Firefox service running in the background that keeps Windowz awake. Or perhaps there’s a task running in Task Scheduler.
Or you could boot into Windows Safe Mode and see if it goes to sleep without Firefox running.
Or since you how to reinstall Windows there’s a setting that needs to be flagged relating to firefox (not sure where because I dont use FF).
Or you could go into the Events Viewer and see any critical alerts or warnings with regards FF.
Or you could run the Apps Diagnostics that you can set in Windows Settings=>Privacy & Security
Or in moments of desperation uninstall FF (saving your book marks first of course), reboot and see what happens. If there’s no difference then it may not be FF at fault and can be reinstalled.

Well that’s an inspiring website. Wesleigh graduated in Splitarse Studies in California (yes it would just have to be California, wouldn’t it) and her wellness journey has ‘birthed Joy Unfurling’. Or some such bollocks.
Anyway, Wessy has kindly put ‘Questions? Say Hi’ and several links at the bottom of her site. So I’ve just emailed her asking ‘Do you suck cock?’
17
Has she replied yet? I bet you it has her sprinting to her safe space.
5
There’s probably a big cock waiting for her there already.
4
She`s most likely a vagitarian, GT.
Also, you being a Geordie, I assume you’ll have a leek trench whilst she`ll probably like a leek in her trench – so at least you`ll have a conversation starter.

‘Available for privste and group sessions’?
Mr Cunt Engine will organise a whip-around.
Form an orderly queue.

Now, I am not a Jodie Foster fan.
Too much of a weird man hating rugmumcher for my liking
But she is right about Gen Z. They are cunts.
16
They seem to like being spoon fed everything. The only thing they question is anything’ ‘right wing’, which actually means opposing without debate anything they’ve been told to object to.
No point even buying an Ev in Brum soon as they aim to remove all cars from the entire city centre. Second City? Hasn’t even got a park and ride!

.. or any money.

Everything humans do is bad for the planet and that’s that.
Might as well enjoy your life and not worry about it..
Unless you happen to be a soppy brainwashed bedwetting soft cunt,in which case The Planet Is On Fire!!
Fuck Off.

If in dispute with a young person it saves a lot of time if you get them crying.
Call them a n*ggerlover.
Laugh at them.
Put bone marrow in their fruit smoothie then tell them what you did.
Laugh at them again.

‘Keep Britain Tidy’ is about as far as I go in terms of fucks are given.

These dippy net-zero luvvie dipsticks should realise there are 1400 active volcanoes on this planet, and anything up to 70 of those are erupting as we speak – including one currently ejaculating up in Iceland!
All that ash and other bad pollutants fucking up the planet by huge amounts, thus nullifying all these stupid net zero ideologies these cunts are so absorbed into.
However they will probably blame climate change and the UK in particular for all the volcanoes, tectonic plate shifts, earthquakes etc.

All it takes is a whopoer and you wont be able to heat the planet fast enough due to a veil of sulphur dioxide reflecting sunlight back into the cuz-moze.

On the subject of EVs being faster, it’s certainly true when it comes to how they burn.
Don’t go upstairs on a London EV bus.

Personally let them get on with it.
The Gen Zs, the Gen Alphas and the future Gen Betas are or will be digging their own graves when all their brainwashed wokeness becomes a harsh reality and kicks them in the balls and cunts!
Let them have Net Zero by 2050, living off wind energy and EVs;let them eat rabbit food, locusts and worms; let them live in 90 storey flats because all of the countryside has gone to rewilding, solar panel farms or massive migrant camps running into the thousands.
By 2050 the Boomers and Gen Xers will be dead and buried. Therefore these future cunts will have no one else to blame when things go shit-shaped on a Titanic scale!
15
I think I will be dead by 2050, or wish I was dead, or on fire because of vlad’s clone, or having my bum wiped by a fruity Filipino gent while my niece and nephew phone me to say they aren’t visiting because the maglev blew up due to nobody remembering how mag-levs work anymore.

Walked past a house with the dog this afternoon and it had a chimney blowing out lots of lovely grey blue and black smoke out of its top. I guess from their log burning fire. Reminded me of the good old days when everyone in my pit village had an open coal fire.
Ahhhh the good old days.
15
The smell of burning wood reminds me of the small village my first wife came from in Denmark.
In winter it was fantastic.
8
O/T but the wife and I are off to Denmark again in April for the obligatory 90 day stay, just like last year!
Looking forward to it!
5
I am envious.
My mates keep sending me photos of the snow in Roskilde.
it’s -9c there tomorrow and I would like nothing more than to be curled up on the sofa with the log burner lit, just watching the snow come down outside and contemplating life over a mug of varm cacao og en stor stuck kringler.
Hyggeligt.

That Quentin Wilson has gone full tree.hugger.
Funny turnaround for a petrol head fronting car shows on TV?
Almost As if he was earning money to promote electric vehicles?😁
I don’t trust the slimy fuck.
He looks like a sex offender.
23
Yep, him and that Red Dwarf fucker Robert Llewellyn, who played Kryten; sucking chinky needle dick for a few dorrars.
13
i’d forgotten about his youtube channel driving his comedy mates about in a fridge.
He drove four miles at one point.
3
If true then it doesn’t surprise me.
These ageing celebs who are no longer in the limelight have to resort to be a bit of virtuous bandwagon jumping in order to stay relevant and grab some attention.
Joanna Lumpytits is another example. They spend decades not caring two shits about anything other than the fame and fortune; and when they become crusty old cunts they become desperate woke cunts
11
Carole Vorderman to a tee. Now she isn´t get fucked by Countdown producers (usually boys on traiinng schemes) she has become a virgin again.

Shit hawks.National service for them.

Funnily enough that’s how my grandad encountered the most shite hawks, during National Service in Egypt and what was Aden just before the Korean war. He was on the ship out of Hong Kong as the Yank carriers were steaming through.

We used to employ a youngish electric car enthusiast.
I took the wind out of his sails when he started bangjng on by calling him a spastic and a virgin and pointing out that nothing he will ever do will amount to anything.
He countered by saying he felt sorry for my children with me as their father, to which I pointed out that my 12 year old has a bigger dick.
I am a horrible cunt to under 30’s colleagues, really unpleasant.
26
What’s he on about Thomas?
Your a good dad, raised them with manners and respect.
I feel sorry for any kids he has.
In nappies till 12yrs of age.
The reason they have to teach brushing your teeth in school.
11
Ps
I don’t like the daughters new boyfriend.
Not quite sure why?
Just a hunch.
The missus tried to sell him saying he’s a nice lad etc
He seems too quiet for my liking.
And the other day I offered him a can of bitter and guess what he said?
” I don’t like beer.”
Definitely a wrong un
21
He’s not Northumberland’s only sootıe is he, MNC?
10
He doesn’t like bitter…….😩 take him for a walk over the tops to a nice country pub bend him over a stonewall and let Mr ram show him what a ‘good head’ is 👍 ….
6
He doesn’t have a designer beard, wears a beanie hat, is a vegan and rides a bike does he?
9
Well, I did think ‘fair play’ for having the balls to come back at me, so I allowed him his little dig.
Alas for him, I’m lead engineer at my company, and he didn’t make it past his 3 month evaluation period…he ought to have done a little homework on who gave the yes/no contract nod…
12
Doesn’t like beer? In that case he’d better drink whisky.

A question if I may Mr CE
Olivia Wilde – would you?
Asking for a friend

Her real surname is Cockburn.
The immature 14 year old part of my brain is chuckling like Beavis and Butthead over that.

Evening Harold. I had to Google her, never heard of her.
She’s no Rosie Jones but it’s fair to say that I’d bum her until we were both in tears.
Who’d be your preferred famous actress lady to treat to a facial frosting?
9
Haha. I was worried that response was going to be a bit more graphic. I’ve not long eaten so that’s a relief.
There are many Mr CE.
I’d say Taylor Momsen at the moment.
Perhaps Emily Blunt or Amy Adams.
I did like Emma Stone but not so much now. Don’t know why really.
I liked the look of Amber Heard until she was revealed to be a sociopath narcissist with a list of issues longer than the Bayeux tapestry.
7
Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. you are a man of good taste, Harold.
The only thing Amber Heard would get from me is 72 hours of enemas while hooked up to a few liters of saline on an IV pump, eye clamps and head braced towards a 6′ x 6′ mural of Depp’s smiling mouth.

I’m gonna try that technique!

It has to be noted that today’s youngsters grew up immersed in technology. They don’t know any different. They were born into the climate change cult and taught to fear what we used to call the weather from the time they possessed basic comprehension.
Woke ideals have been impressed upon them from every angle, children’s TV and soap operas, entertainment and education.
Social media has increasingly destroyed their attention span and AI promises them a life where they don’t have to think ever again.
It really is like a giant social experiment or psyop conducted on the young. Maybe overall an accidental convergence of technology and the times we live in but at least partially provably deliberately by government and big tech pushed forward by mega corporations and hedge funds.
We can look at our youth with disdain but let’s not forget which generation built the digital prison.

‘…..where they don’t have to think ever again……’ What do you mean ‘again’?

Prime Minister is Mohammed Abdulla El Cid Binliner
Chancellor is Ayatollah El Taxicabbie Akbar
Home Sec is Sadiq Khan
Foreign Sec is Shamima Begum
Sharia Law introduced
All women must wear letterboxes and stay at home at all times
All men to serve 5 years in the armed forces
Alphabets to be locked up and flogged
Halal only, no vegans
All churches demolished and replaced by mosques
prayers 5 times a day without fail
Under 12s to spend 6 months in Grooming dormitories
I hope the Gen Zs love their new lives under their so-called friendly and caring inclusive regime
10
No tertiary education for women.
All schoolchildren to chant Quranic verses in daily assembly.
Practicing any other religion to be a capital offence.
Adulteresses to be stoned to death.
Arranged marriage to be the norm.
Honour killings to be made legal.
Pride events to be banned.
Gen Z can’t say we didn’t warn them.

What got me was that
“refuse a job” and 100% wfh.
How fucking entitled are these twats?
I mean, if they’re all wfh, whose going to make my pumpkin spiced chai latte?
5
These arseholes think they’re far too important to actually go to work and graft. Instead they believe they have the human right to work from home while the lesser plebs should go out and work and serve them, just like their mommies and daddies did when they were little babies.
5
Being a WfH cunt is a good way of marking yourself as expendable, especially if your job involves clerical work.
AI will do that before long. Best hope Starmer sets up a fully-costed UBI scheme before then..

What happened to Allen’s nomination from yesterday?
Cancel culture?

I noticed that too.
Perhaps the admins removed it because of the link Allan used which wasn’t a proper news link in which to validate the allegations.
Or perhaps it all kicked off again.

It did get somewhat heated, didn’t it.

I’ll try to get it right but,
I may not agree with my colleague, but I will fight to the death for his right to say it.
About right.

MNC, did you ever find out why the Hassidic Jews were digging tunnels?
They probably felt jealous of the Hammas tunnel network, in Gazza.

Sort of JP.
They’d been digging for quite some time.
And they showed a bit of attitude when the cops turned up,
They had mattresses down there?!

Off topic, I know, but a relevant comment from a pissed off bloke who can’t stand self certified clever twats grouping and identifying people as Gen this, Gen that, Millenial, Boomer etc. Get fucked. Anyhow, I’ve come on here to rail against the Masters Snooker Final studio presentation being led by a woman whose connection with snooker likely never went any further that the well greased thick end of Alex Higgins’ cue. She’s sat there now spouting utter shite to John Parrott and Steve Davies. BBC of course. I’m sick to death of this PC brainwashing shite.

I wish someone would, or could, explain these words.
I’m 70 soon. Am I a Boomer, a Millennial?
I’m not a Gen- anything, because I’m not a selfish, self-centered cunt.
Is being one of these things good or bad?
On the other hand, please count the number of fucks I give.

You are a solid boomer, JP.
It comes from marketing and demographics.
born pre 1945 – silent generation.
born 1945 -mid 60s -baby boomers
born mid 60s to early 80s -Generation X/the ‘MTV’ generation.
born early 80s- late 90s – generation Y/millennials.
born late 90s – 2010 Generation Z
born 2010 -present generation Alpha..

those born after the end of the first world war are known as the greatest generation, because they survived the influenza pandemics of1918-21 ss infants, the great depression as kids then fought the Second World War.

Thank you, CP.
If I want a plaque on the wall of remembrance I’ll make sure it says
“in memory of JP, Boomer, zero fucks given”

I’m willing to bet these fucking surveys are all conducted amongst office wankers cos if you believe everything you see on tv there is not a manual worker left in Blighty. The fucking world doesn’t revolve around an office and a fuck cunty shit pig computer, try WFH when your a road worker you can only tarmac your garden once or try shoeing horses at home I could go on listing jobs for hours. I would like to drag the cunts out of their self important office fiefdoms by the genitals with hot tongs and make em do real work for a week the fucking soft white fingered shiny arsed cunts.

Well said.
You got it.
Wfh, but not for the plebs who work for Waitrose/Ocado home delivery.
Or the washing machine repairman.
Or numerous skilled trades people, that you expect to drop everything, because your Wfh and you need whatever, right now!

I’ve been to various customer sites both in Birmingham and up here in the Lakes. And on quite a few occasions I have witnessed office workers pissing about on their phones/tables and office computers during work hours. And not just for a minute or two, but 30 or 40 minutes at a time every hour or two.
The supervisors and line managers weren’t much better. But the common factor in these instances were that they were mostly all young cunts – 20s and 30s probably. And this was pre-pandemic. These days I just don’t bother so much with SMB visits – too much like hard work trying to get anything helpful with their IT problems.
No wonder they want to piss about at home!

Sounds like a police station.
Get the 5-foot fat arsed female officers to run over to Greggs.

I worked in manufacturing. How the fuck could I work from home? The wankers
