Sheds, I think that either of these threads have the potential to knock 'Currently Spinning' off its' lofty perch:D

Bear,

Possibly There would seem to be a lot of pent up frustration amongst the folk in SNA. Shame I'm not a psychiatrist, I could make a mint out of this lot....

The plastic packaging they use to seal computer peripherals and the like.

You know the one...you have to destroy it to be able to open it, and its not friendly for the fingers either.

Yeah, I hate that stuff. Especially when they wrap something of about $2 value in it. That really pisses me off...

LuckyDog, I also work in the power industry as a mechanical engineer for over 33 years. However my bosses a few years put me in the organisation chart as a "performance reporting specialist". Everyone I've admitted this to regards that as an almighty w***!

Jeff,

About 20 years ago I was working on some major projects with some folk in the US and Canada. Aussies were a bit of a novelty at the time, but the Americans had great difficulty understanding our lingo. The term 'wanker' was an often used Aussie expression at the time (and still is). The guy who was guiding me around the US loved the term, and used it at every opportunity. Many a meeting or conference was interrupted by me trying to delicately explain the term that my American friend was using. And they would all proceed to use it, in the same way as a kid does when he learns his first swear words in a foriegn language. If you run into a whole lot of Yanks referring to 'wankers', I plead guilty....

They aslo loved expressions such as 'spitting the dummy', 'crook' (as in feeling unwell) and 'chook'. And no matter how often they tried, I never heard one decent 'g'day'...

cheers

Tell me about it! You have to use scissors and totally destroy the packaging.

God Damned selfish little shits earning decent incomes who won't leave home to stand on their own two feet

I have already fore-warned our 2 sons, that when they work full time and live @ home, 20% of their nett income goes to their mother. God knows she's earned it.

If they don't like it, they can go live in the big bad world.

This is how it was when I worked full time and lived at home.

It didn't hurt me none.

Thats brilliant, you have given me a good idea there Mr HP although my kids are a little young to be scared by such expectations

When I started work I was allowed the keep the first three months pay, then I had to pay 80% of my net wage to Mum and Dad for three months. About two months into this last arrangement my parents paid the final payments of their war service home loan and I was let off the hook. I then didn't pay anything until the next year.

And there was me thinking we were the only miserable so and so's to threaten our children with this approach. We have managed to inculcate an expectation of 25% of gross income from the time they finish highschool. This would be in addition to the normal assistance, cooking of meals, doing own laundry, no you can't borrow the car etc. The oldest is twelve ....

We have now seen and heard too many stories of parents disenfranchising their children in terms of personal responsibility as well as the unrealistic expectations of the grown children. I didn't own a car until I was 24 so when I hear the story of an acquaintance's 19 yr old daughter announcing that "she doesn't do public transport" while her car is being repaired - get real.

Watched 60 mins last night about those GenY's.

Watching and listening to them was infuriating.

Ok while on rude road users.

When your either trying to get out of a driveway or leave a parking bay,the pricks will just stop right in front of you so you can both just sit there.

Then they will just stare ahead, to gutless for any eye contact.

Happy to help Mondie.

I'm hoping 20% of nett will rake in more Kevin!

I used to blame them, now I blame their parents.

I know too many adults who think the easy option for themselves is to do everything for their off spring. They can't see what they're creating; until it's too late. then we all have to put up with the schite.

My wife is a TAFE teacher. Oh the crap she has to put up with.

Personally I just don't get 60 minutes. Serious current affairs from channel 9? Give me a break. As such I have never watched it and am constantly surprised by the ratings. I can just imagine how they would sensationalise the GenYs - they might deserve some of this but I can't see 60 minutes treating this story, or the people being interviewed, with any common sense.

David,

You'd love 'A Current Affair' then.... I have never quite worked out how confronting shonky gigolos and interviews with Shanon Noll (the 2 examples are not related , as far as I know ), get classified as current affairs....
