Ya we did

If we're going by who shed the most blood we should be hailing Putin right now.

So that's what you'll find under a French drain.

Getting a BTEC Level 2 Certificate in holding up the fucking Eurasian plate was a toughie back then.

Our grandads spent literally ages making Facebook memes back in WW2 just so you could sleep safely in your bed

does motherfuckin' everything have to be filtered through Harry Potter now

http://i65.tinypic.com/11kjswp.jpg

it's a good point though, nobody but millennials ever grew up with a profound affection for a fictitious white-bearded old man who loves children, particularly the ones who are nice rather than naughty.

in all seriousness it's a dumb meme for sanders, but a kinda okay review of the harry potter series; i've always thought rowling's human villains were pretty good training for kids not to be suckered by the kinds of banal and venal evil they're actually likely to encounter IRL.

Sanders is mathematically eliminated on page 596

the harry potter series teaches that only those drawn from the extremely limited pool of students at a hidden, elite private school are worth caring about. in the end the 'heroes' all end up supporting the secretive private government which holds unimaginable power and views the vast majority of the world with contempt.

also they eat the whitest diet imaginable

If you had told me.. five years ago... that a popular thing on the internet to do would be to take pictures of printed text and then post that somewhere, I would've been skeptical.

it's true, this person couldn't be bothered typing out arseholes so went for the easier option of saying assholes

the lowercase p in RIP is killing me

You know you've lived a happy childhood when the first fond memory you have is of the corned beef.

xxxp I found myself on one of those local interest Facebook pages by accident. Someone was saying about how their kid had been threatened by some other kids in town.
The responses, of course, were just as you'd imagine. I'm amazed at how many people believe that society's downfall is directly attributable to children not being clipped round the ear enough. One guy even said: 'I used to get clipped round the ear and it never did me any harm'. He went quiet when I pointed out that clipping someone round the ear is, by definition, a type of harm.

THE BREAD WAS SO CRUSTY AND HOT

Food didn't come from shops! People could hit their kids and wives knew their place! Happy days indeed.

What sort of weird time did Author Unknown live in when cinemas existed but not shops?

has anybody got this guy's address? i want to let him know you can get corned beef in Asda.

That was on one of those local facebook groups as well. 172 likes and everyone going "yeah! kids today! Entitled arseholes!" and moaning about kids always being on computers (while posting on facebook).

Don't tell him about how you can still get unsliced bread or you may blow his mind xpost

The movie tickets also didn't cost any money, it would seem. I'm beginning to realize how little I know about the utopia that was life in Britain in the 1940s.

the self-clowning irony of 'selfish, disrespectful little assholes' is delicious

So I've been eating my crunchy frozen freezer chips all wrong

i am interested in how this sort of mindset comes about - the idea that young people aren't just hard to understand in their tastes and attitudes etc, but the idea that they're DEFINITELY spoiled and disrespectful; that the only way to qualm this is through emotional and physical abuse; and that life would be so much better for everyone if we went back to the 'olden days' (the olden days, according to my FB feed is any time between 1968 and 1990). Is it a type of rockism or some sort of mental thing that seeps in at a certain time in people's live, or people simply apeing the attitudes of their own parents or a kind of temporal amnesia that means people forget nearly everything about how their own childhoods really played out, or simply received information, or what?

My favourites were the people on the page who, when I pointed out that kids have always and will always beat each other up and threaten each other, said 'I would never have done that when I was a kid' and use that as evidence that society's in the gutter....

R I p Great Britain
crusty and hot

as children still smarting from their most recent authoritarian beating their only consolation was the thought of one day being an adult and meting out the same tough love

I'd say that was otm. I think a lot of the time, memes reflect more about the mindset of the individual sharing them than the world they're supposedly observing. Like the people who share really passive aggressive macros about how you shouldn't say mean things behind other people's backs always seem to be the people who invite and exhibit that kind of behaviour IRL.

So maybe, yeah either they want retribution for how they were treated when they were younger, or they were the ones who grew up as 'selfish disrespectful assholes' when they were kids and now have to make a point in protesting too much.

but a lot of the people sharing stuff like this didn't have childhoods like this. That 'I remember the comic sans of my childhood' thing paints a science fiction past that's a mix of post-war and Victorian times where women didn't work and people lapped at warm cream straight out the cupboard and children smiled and said thank you after being slapped.

Basically the conservative version of ''oh if only I'd lived in the glorious Sixties'' or whatever.

i have never actually heard anyone say that. thankfully

share if u... I dunno, rode a bike or some shit when u were a kid

I'm trying to remember... I think that's from a Wonder Showzen bit.

The men didn't go to the wife?

I don't know about that anonymous doggerel poet, but bread was really shitty when I was growing up in the 50s and 60s.
