Boomer Plague & Terrified Boomers

[Dave Plowman (News)]

You mean they are keeping their distance from you? Same as you and your kids should be doing from them.

BCG is used to treat bladder cancer. There is a world wide shortage. With the worst shortage in the US. NHS seems to be coping.

My guess is it's a relatively cheap (and effective) treatment. US drug companies want to sell much more expensive ones.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Just look no further than here. ;-)

Yes, but the noticeable difference is how they (Boomers) are visibly panicked while doing so but we (<50s) aren?t.

Had another cracking hike around town with the kids for our Government Authorised Exercise today. Lovely and sunny. Still very peaceful out but a fair bit more traffic on the road than yesterday and loads more people out and about (mostly <50s, it must be said). Went to Morrison?s to get some Gaviscon later in the afternoon but they?d instituted a ?one-in-one-out? policy and the queue was much more than I could be bothered with so I went to a petrol garage with a minimarket instead. Had a good chat with the guy on the till as he zapped my shopping at arm?s length, he was clearly enjoying the novelty of all this madness.

I had haddock and chips for dinner, was lovely.

OTOH He does Masonic ceremonies. How does that work out?

[Stephen Cole]

I ate the lot. Went down a treat.

What you are mistaking for panic is a conscientious effort to stick to the rules, made the more urgent by your dilatoriness. What you are mistaking for personal fear is a concern to do the right thing by you as well as themselves.

I don't think your generation do promptness, thoroughness and attentiveness or precision, and probably not very much altruism. I blame Thatcher and trendy schools teaching that you don't have to achieve much to be a Unique Individual.[1]

[1] Jimmy Savile was a unique indiviual, for instance.

Shirley Williams, Shirley ?

Have I got to do the Diana Ross gag again?

[Roger Hayter]

I blame Thatcher for the lack of altruism, and the schools for lack of insight into their incompetence.

[Stephen Cole]

The generation that gleefully destroyed the climate? I don?t think so, Rog.

Jimmy Savile was your generation, Roger, shamefully.

[Roger Hayter]

I think you need to go back about 150 years for that responsibility!

I mentioned him to point out that just being a special snowflake is not a guarantee of a useful life. Getting the prize for being last is not as good as being a little further up the effort chart.

[Stephen Cole]

Boomer ducks responsibility, as per.

It?s pretty creepy that you think Jimmy Savile was special, Roger. He was a dreadful individual.

Have you been drinking?

[Steve Walker]

Correct. Today I needed to go to a shop. I had to park on the wrong side of the road and walk over. The direct route passed through a large gap between two cars, but a someone was waiting there to cross. I walked diagonally across, partly for my own safety (more for my wife as she is vulnerable) and far more so as not to worry him.

When a few hundred thousand people marched in protest against Brexit at Westminster, they did so out of a fear that their human rights were being needlessly torn to shreds and that their lives were about to get more precarious. I distinctly recall a great many Faragist Boomers ridiculing them as ?snowflakes?. Funny how the boot?s on the other foot now. And the Boomers don?t like it.

[Stephen Cole]

Rich, instead, Rich, can you do the one where you say you hold a Full even though you actually only hold a 2E0? Thanks, Rich.

[michael adams]

Quite possibly. This being only one from among a number of similar such outrages and crimes against humanity, no doubt.

But Shirley, if Shirley Williams hadn't moved all the goal posts, then they'd have had a better idea of which game they were supposed to be playing in the first place, Shirley ?

Nice burn.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

True. The boomer generation should have restricted their breeding considerably. Then with luck, we wouldn't have had to read your crap.
