People lives their lives trying to impress other people they barely know. Its bred a generation of narcissistic cockwombles - Villa to win trophies (under the new sustainable football structure mentioned above) thats the end of VT then, is VT social media? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Forums and message boards were around long before Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc and I hope they will be there long after. I wouldn't really class them as social media as people are anonymous on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 To be free to decide/choose what to do and when. I don't want money, it's a pretty horrible thing if you think about it, but it does give you the freedom of choice. I'd love to buy a camper van and just travel in one direction, see how far I could get, see great things. I'd love my son to be happy throughout his life, he's a happy little soul now, so it's my job to carry that on, give him the opportunities to do what he wants. Cure all the nasty things, think that's a given. Ultra high speed travel. Get me to Moscow in 30 minutes - I hate the waiting around part of traveling. 3/4 day weekends to become the norm. The only reason it isn't now is because of the greedy people up the chain, who want even more. Increase the spread of wealth so everyone can do what they want. People really shouldn't be living in their overdrafts in 2016, and I know people who do. It's a shame. For country boarders to be abolished, then we could forget all this "immigration problem" bullshit. Live where you want, when you want for however long you want. I want house prices to crash. There are some really shit houses, going for so much money, it's disgusting. Get rid of this faux stock market. To be given way more holiday, every year. I basically only need to be moderately rich to live my dream of traveling - someone gimme some money! (only joking) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 obvs. all the **** off diseases - with especial nods to Alzheimers and Cancer. I'd like to leave this world, lights very much on thank you very much. nuclear fusion to be become the reality and solve our energy issues. collective consciousness to finally twig how manically destructive neoliberalism is economically, socially and ecologically and there to be a mass overthrow. People like Phillip Green and Osborne to be continually skewered to death over a number of months and years. No non-doms and the rich to pay their share etc allowing millions to live a life unencumbered by needless suffering. the rowing back of the Welsh language* - or at least have it removed from job specs as a desirable criteria. I've lived here 12 years perfectly fine without ever needing to use the damn thing, but there is a nationalist driven political push ( constantly being offered the chance to learn it for free! ) for this. Annoying! Look Dylan, Gwyn and R.S Thomas all managed to evoke Welsh sensibilities perfectly beautifully without needing to communicate in the lingo! If it survived organically I really wouldn't mind so much. * this is a bit petty, granted. And conflicts with my general support for localised culture, but **** it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mandy Lifeboats Posted May 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2016 Just the normal, run of the mill things that I'm sure we all dream of... A Navajo to run for US president with the main policy being the deportation of all immigrants. Sell By Dates to be abandoned for stilton cheese. Oxford and Cambridge to meet in the Semi Final of the boat race. How many years can they avoid one another right up to the final? Decimalisation of dice. All to become 10 sided by 2050. Stanley Unwin to be accused of historic sex-fiddly-o-feely-young-girls-up-jumper-front offenses. Nelson Mandela to be freed at last. Wolverhampton to stage the Olympics Steve Bull lights the Olympic Flame by throwing a discarded fag into a skip full of old settees sprayed with lighter fluid. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand being a prime example. I know that's a very snobbish view point but as soon as the masses have access to something, it inevitably loses some of its charm. If that makes sense? If we ever get to the point where we can get to NYC in an hour or Bangkok in an hour in a tube under the sea then its not going to be as special IMO, despite how ground breaking the technology is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast travel can actually make overseas holidays less 'special'. In the early 80s a group of us went to the south of France via the following method - Bus into Leeds Train from Leeds to London KX Tube across London Train to Newhaven Night ferry to Dieppe Train to Paris GdN Taxi across Paris Train to Avignon Bus to Vaison When we got there it really felt that we'd made an epic journey to a fantastic place. By contrast, a couple of years ago the wife and I went to Corfu from Leeds/Bradford airport (5 mins from our house). We had breakfast at home, and were sitting drinking a beer in the sunshine by midday. Now in a way that was great, but it did take away some of the magic. I didn't feel like I'd travelled abroad, it was that quick. I think that what I'm saying is that travelling can have as much value as arriving.

mjmooney Posted May 17, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2016 The Corfu thing was even more a strange experience for the missus, as she'd been there before - as a student she and her mate hitchhiked across Europe, taking about a week to get there.

villa4europe Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 why is everyone in such a bloody rush these days. for me the travelling time when your going somewhere for pleasure or interest is part of the experience. I think my last holiday was driving 4-6 hours a day every other day, the one before it was about 36 hours in a plane and 14 hours sat in an airport waiting to get on the plane If someone said in 50 years time you could do London to New York in less than an hour I think that'd be amazing The novelty of sitting in an uncomfortable chair watching 4 films not being able to sleep has worn off for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
