chrisp65 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 my personal view, is that it's bad I'm prepared to listen to a counter argument, I can see a lot more 'education' going on, though it's not clear to what end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Well it might be an older person's understanding of what a 'proper' job is, but there could be something deeper to look at. First off, it's a very small random sample, but it looks true and feels like a fair reflection on how society has moved. In the black and white pathe news past, we built stuff, made stuff, repaired stuff and had butch manly skills. That team from 1955, they could build a house. The 2014 team, hmmm, they'll struggle to buy a house unless something good comes of that degree in 'sports science'. Perhaps, perhaps today's manly men don't have the time to play football? Perhaps most of today's plumbers really are east European and wouldn't know how to get involved in local football. Perhaps being a student or a sales assistant today is actually a comfortable enough lifestyle that we don't need to know how to fix things, we can just buy new stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrinityRoadSteps Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 ok, this is more general chat than footy related, hence why I've stuck it here as a random snapshot of people's jobs I've compared the two lists of footy players in last night's programme, the first lot are from the 1955 season and jobs are listed thus: 3 Plumbers 2 carpenters 2 corporation gardeners 1 electricity board 1 national service 1 postman 1 brewery worker 1 plasterer 2 farm labourers 1 electrician 1 miner 1 bricklayer 1 metal worker 1 RAF all very 1955 stand up jobs, then we have last night's away team... 1 bricklayer 1 sales account manager 1 barman 6 university (3 sport related, 1 unspecified, 1 bioengineering, 1 teaching degree) 1 sales administrator 1 teaching assistant 1 gym instructor 1 clerical assistant 1 Frankie and bennies 1 sales 1 year off after teaching degree 1 crisp department at Tesco (that's what it says!) 1 scaffolder I guess this could have gone in the boring thread, but I thought it was an insight into what we've become over the last 60 years, not good or bad, just different Was this Warwick v Bromsgrove Sporting ?

TrinityRoadSteps Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Club linesman are great fun. Especially the one I saw running the line with a pint in one hand and a flag in the other. Well I say run. More a disinterested shuffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post YLN Posted April 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2014 Found out tonight there's a rumour in my course that I have retrograde ejaculation, which is where on ejaculation instead of coming out your winky, it heads back up into your bladder. I told a girl that I had it as a joke, she believed me and then told everyone. You could say the joke backfired... This is not an elaborate set up for that joke.. People actually think I have Retrograde ejaculation. A reputation easily gained, but not easily lost. I guess the only thing to do is record a video of me ejaculating and upload it to facebook. So I'll go do that now then 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
