I understand the point of this thread entirely. I see the same thing everywhere. Text Speak especially annoys me, to the extent that if any friends use it when texting me, i purposely don't reply until I get it in real English.

With regards to earnings. Honestly boys! It really doesn't matter who earns what or the most. As long as we're all happy with what we have nobody else will really give a sh!t. I rather be paid less and happy in my job than earn more but dread going to work every morning.

This isn't a pissing contest remember. If you're unsure, read the first post of this thread again. (assuming you can read)  :wink:

its even worse when people use text speak but the words actually longer than the f**king word there not spelling right, i mean fare enough if someone puts u instead of you because it saves a bit of space and typing ect but when then put words that are longer it really annoys me!

I don't really see why people would get so caught up on grammar and punctuation when texting  :undecided:

Oh and as this is about people 20ish years old, i'm 21 in my 3rd year at uni at a former polytechnic... doing geography

Cross so many stereotypes there hahaa, but i went to a ridiculously bad school, managed to get 8 C grade GCSE's with all usual subjects (maths, science, english, geography history Etc)

I agree with everyone on here that has said that we are all funneled and pushed towards university, thinking back it would have been good to learn a trade, although I'm not that great at the hands on stuff, would still be nice to learn how to do stuff... Always buy haynes manuals, read through, try and get stuck in, even if its just changing bulbs, wiring in new speakers and stuff, pathetic i know, but its a start!!

But i think it is about willingness to learn. For example, some kids i used to go to school with have sh!t all over their FB's about rapping and all this gangster b0llocks! makes me want to go up to where they have their f@cking "rap battles" or whatever they do and drag them all to a job centre. Edit Useless fatherless sons ((not my words, but it works if u want to leave it there hahahaa)) (these kids are like 18-23).

Is it really that hard to find a college course or something and plan to have a good life that doesn't involve sponging off the state??

I work part time in the co-op too, have done since i turned 16 (I'm 21 now) and its shown me what i can be doing for the rest of my life if i don't work hard at uni... it's pretty scary. I work with such cretins! 26 year olds, 30 year olds living at home, both engaged to fat ugly girls who work in sh!t jobs too (not that the fat or ugly bit matters). They spend money on wide screen 3D TVs and haven't learnt to drive, no GCSE's no A levels or anything like that! They love to call in sick and they are just pathetic!

(my older brother had no real qualifications, is now assistant manager in a bigger store, training to be manager, hes 22) So you can work your way up, not THAT difficult!

But then again, its capitalist society... therefore people need to be in these low level unskilled jobs for the economy to grow, so these people are needed, right? I just feel sorry for them in a way...

Rant over...

Btw why is everyone being so harsh to Micra boy? (although i f@cking hate micras, stupid old bint in an automatic one smashed in to the back of me while i was in learning!!! shat me right up!) He seems to be doing alright, seems to have a good work ethic!!
