Think of the great popular music performers of the twentieth century, and certain names immediately spring to mind. Astaire and Sinatra, Holiday and Garland, Dylan and The Beatles; those with a style and a sound that was all their own. And then of course there was the legendary Elvis, the king of rock ‘n’ roll, who captivated us with an incredible string of hits from ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ to ‘In the Ghetto’.

Sadly, that Elvis magic failed to translate itself to the big screen, with The Pelvis featuring in a string of 60s films which were for the most part trite, formulaic and just plain dull.

I was recently reminded of this when the wife returned from what she calls ‘a look around the charity shops’, with half a dozen Elvis films in VHS tape format, retrived from the crap basket at 10p a go.

‘What on earth made you by them?’ says I, ‘they’re shite’.

‘I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Elvis film’ says she, ‘let’s give it a go’.

‘Okay’, says I, but don’t say that I didn’t warn you’. Later, I opened a bottle of wine and a big bag of crisps, fired up our steam-powered Philips recorder, and we sat down to watch ‘GI Blues’, in which Elvis plays an army tank crewman… with a singing career.

Opening another bottle, we followed this with ‘Fun In Acapulco’, where Elvis plays as a lifeguard… who’s also a singer in a local hotel. Finally came ‘Easy Come, Easy Go’, where The King pursues a dual career as a deep sea diver and, er, a nightclub singer.

Halfway through this third effort, the wife was visibly twitching, and finally she was forced to admit that Elvis ‘movies’ were indeed crap. ‘Don’t say “I told you so”, or else’, she says with a warning glimmer in her eye.

‘I told you so’ says I, and got a cushion chucked at me for my trouble, quickly followed up with ‘you smug bastard’.

‘Watch it my girl’ says I, ‘or I’ll have you over my knee pants down, and I’ll smack that little arse ’til it’s raw’, which promptly resulted in the hurling of another cushion in my direction.

At which point, I leapt from my chair and chased her screaming and giggling up the stairs, that delightful little bottom wiggling seductively in front of my eyes. Take it from me, it’s a whole lot more fun to watch than ‘Blue fucking Hawaii’.

Oh, he’s a waiter in this, and a singing sensation… how original.

An unnamed Air Canada pilot is a cunt.

A couple boarded their flight, only to be met with two vomit covered seats. The cabin crew did their best to clean up the spew from the previous flight, but parts of the seating and belt area still had little puddles of smelly spew.

The flight was full and they wanted their seats cleaned so that they weren’t sitting in some cunt’s puke (not too much to ask, is it?). As the cabin crew sprayed perfume and used coffee grounds to hide the smell, the impatient pilot (who’d been pacing up and down wondering what the delay was) told the passengers that if they weren’t happy, they could go back to the gate and get a new flight at their own expense or be put on a no flight list.

It’s a shame he didn’t try this on a hard, short tempered cunt who would’ve made him eat the puke before knocking the cunt out.

I get pilots have deadlines,blah blah blah…but fuck that in this case.

I hope he loses his job, the nob jockey.

Attached is a drone pic of the aftermath of the Leeds Festival. Litter, tents and general shit left behind.

Left behind by the same woke lefty cunts who support Greta, Jeremy, Net Zero and all the other trendy shite.
Tickets start at around £100 up tp £300. You can ‘Eco Camp’ Perhaps that is what abandoning tents is? Who knows.

Who but middle class trendy wankers can afford this?

I nominated these useless fucking shitstains a few months ago with regards a massive 15% increase in the price of a 1st class stamp (from 95p to £1.10)

Well guess what, these clueless fuckers have done it again by announcing a 14% increase in 1st Ass Stamps as of 2nd October. Therefore it will cost £1.25 to send a fucking letter to some cunt compared to a few months ago when it cost less than a quid.

The justification? Because the Royal is a loss-making business with letter deliveries still falling to record lows as people go digital. Therefore the geniuses at RM come up with the fab idea of ramping up prices to see if that will entice customers to use their services again!

The CEO of Royal Mail, Simon Thompson, earns a basic wedge of around £500k and a pension set at 13.5% of his basic salary. He will also receive productivity bonuses, which I presume means he’ll get sweet fuck all!

Proof positive that being a useless incompetent twat who’s idea of boosting a failing business is upping prices to customers, reaps massive financial rewards!

And the lack of it.

Young Cunter stopped talking to me when he was 14 year’s old.
Around the time when he got his first motor scooter and an evening job in a bar.

He no longer needed anything from me or his mother.

He would come home and completely ignore us on his way to his room.
On his way out he would walk past us without a word.

This went on for years.
Just a few words from him if he ever needed something.

Kids go through phases so we were not particularly concerned.
He will grow out of it.

But he is now 31 and didn’t grow out of it.

He moved to the UK and would occasionally use us for a holiday.
He would be pleasant for just a few hours before going into a sulk and ignoring us for the rest of his stay.

He no longer visits and has not spoken to either of us for over two years.

I decided to do some research.

A few of the phrases that he has never used are…. “How are you?”, “What do you think?” and “I’m sorry”.

Armed with this information I searched the Internet.
There are at least 15 and as many as 21 signs of a complete lack of empathy.

How are you?
They are not in the slightest bit interested in how you are, it’s how they are that is the most important.

What do you think?
They don’t care what you think unless it is the same as what they think.

I’m sorry.
This is not in the vocabulary of a person without empathy.
Whatever happens is never their fault so they never have a reason to be sorry.

A list of the symptoms of a lack of empathy is interesting reading.
You will recognise the traits of every millennial.

I don’t think that there is anyone that is totally empathetic.
We all show some of these signs from time to time, but the younger generation take things to the extreme.

One of the reasons for someone to lack empathy is to have no roll model.

Perhaps it was me that caused it?

If it was then I believe that it was reinforced while he was at school.

Kids are never told ‘no’.
They are never wrong.
Failure is just deferred success.
It’s taking part that matters.
You can be whatever you want to be, and all of the rest of the bollocks that is fed to them.

Facebook, which leads them to believe that they have thousands of friends who all think like them.

The reality is that they have never met the huge majority of these people, and if anyone disagrees with anything posted or doesn’t offer enough ‘likes’ they are quickly ‘un-friended’ and blocked.

This is the lack of empathy. I believe that it is present in the last 2 generations.

It will only get worse.
