We're all cousins, when you go back far enough.

We're all probably directly descended from Charlemagne and Mohammed.

What about Ghengis Kahn? Stop being ethnocentric.

How did you manage to spell both of his names wrong? :)

I think uni fees will go up post brexit, and it'll end up like America.

I note in Ireland it's €3k a year, so I'm a bit tempted to move in 10 years to qualify if all looks to be the same.

General cost of living in Ireland is way higher though. Even in rural Ireland in the town my wife’s family live stuff costs more than in London.
I have no idea what anything costs in Dublin because I'm drunk every time I'm there
Reading the transcript of yesterday's PMQs and Mr Corbyn came across as the most pressing he's been on Brexit. Mrs May could only make a cheap Czech gag/slur, and witter on about fucking blue passports.

I thought you were joking because it's such a cliched Brexiteer thing to go on about, but no, there's actually a whole conversation about the colour of fucking passports. 8)
And it turns out that they could have been red, blue, or purple with holographic unicorns all along.

To be honest, I've very much lost track of when I am being sarcastic and trolling in this thread and when I'm being genuine. Future historians will look back on this period of our history with amazement.
I really hope future historians don't study Beex.

Hello future historians!

The combination to my safe is LEFT 2; RIGHT 2; LEFT 5; RIGH- ARGH! ARGH! ARGH!

I hope they do. In 100 years' time researchers will cite us as a representative sample of what real people in the old UK did and thought about their lives, giving us an immortality of sorts.

Otherwise, all we are is dust in the wind.
... Dude.

Hey! Future historians! I like my red passport!

More likely just utter contempt.
I fear that future folk will all be too busy trying to survive and then pick up the pieces to wonder or care about the generation of utter fuckwits who had it all and chose to throw it all away by just staring at their fucking phones.

Is this an attempt at some weird anti-millenial crack?
Not anti-millenial in the slightest, I'm talking about my own generation as much as any other. I just have an increasingly unshakable feeling that we're sleepwalking into a fucking disaster.

Fair enough, I just thought because the 'staring at phones' thing is the usual jibe at millenials. That said I don't think we're distractedly sleepwalking into anything; once the referendum was decided I don't feel anyone has any real power to change how this plays out. People are plenty engaged and outraged, it just doesn't have any impact. :(

We have power to influence how it plays out . We, by far, have not done our bit.
When is millenials?

Anyone younger than you who does something you disapprove of even though it doesn't affect you in any way.
It’s not firm defined, but 1980-1999 is what I usually see written.

So, that’s Russell. Us 70s baby’s are Generation X.
We're all Generation X

It's always Russel's fault.

Hey, I 'liked' a funny cartoon video of Nigel Farage and a bear.

Thank goodness you agree. I keep telling him that and I don’t think he believes me.

The way I've heard it explained is "people who reached voting age in 2000 or later", so pretty much what Mimi said.
Be there, cast your vote
We'll ballot down the road
I'm not a filthy millennial. I'm not a crusty gen-x'er either. I'll sit with Myp in his tiny made up generation.
He needs to come up with a better name though.

I didn't come up with it. :shrug:

MilleX is kind of cool. Like Skrillex (sub please check)

It's a shame there isn't a way to vote for leaving this group.

I was wondering if there was a label worse than 'Thatcher's Children' and, well, there's my answer.

He sends 350 million pictures of Julia Bradbury a week. Let's send them to the NHS instead.

Who’s Julia Bradbury?
Only Mali knows. Some kind of Bradford celeb, I'm guessing.
Mr Corbyn is accepting a customs union. No doubt this was sold to him as a chance to cause chaos for the Tories rather than acting on the country's best interests, but is a welcome step in the right direction.

Meanwhile, David Davis needs to read up on projection:

Barry Gardiner was, once again, useless on R4 talking about this . Wholly unconvincing.

I'm actually not feeling like I'm missing out on much now I don't listen to 'Today' as much as in the past.
As for politicians, I would actually be happier if my MP had been a lifelong Eurosceptic, rather than a Tory who just switched sides for the sake of her political career. At least in the former case, they actually believe in what they are doing and I could have a clear basis for an argument rather than vacuous statements from the party PR office.
