We need admin to give us a section where we can have all our 'chats' with no moderation. We can call it 'take it outside boys', where we can just be poephols because we want to.

Please?

Another forum I belong to has a section like called " the bilge".

 

There you can say and do as you please, polish or tarnish your reputation.

Whatever happened to the vegan hero who was going to smash the Everesting record in Pta, and then didn't. He made for some good Friday fun?

He created a new profile and told everyone he wanted sponsorship.

seriously though. I wonder if admin has an idea on the age range of hubbers?

In the year in review infographics, there's figures on location, sex and earnings - but not age.

 

That thread (well the first few pages I saw) was a textbook case of a kid coming to the top table and getting shown his place. A welcome to the "realworld". It wasn't pretty.

 

I hope he learnt something from it.

I hope the adults(me included) learnt something too. I have young kids and am concerned over how all this social media/internet access/keyboard wars is going to affect them as teenagers and beyond. I think we're going to see more of this sort of thing happening, both here and in our daily lives. Once the novelty wears off it won't be amusing.

For his next challenge he's going to try a sub 6 second quarter mile in his citi golf.

 

I wonder if he realizes being so flippant about these gigantic physical challenges that he has zero hope of achieving he actually SEVERELY disrespects many people who have tried and failed and  those that have tried and succeeded.

I recently met a few youngsters who were looking for jobs, mostly temporary student type jobs. I found it absolutely strange that they all were of the opinion that discussing work with a possible employer via Whatsapp was totally fine. Sticking a CV on an email with barely a cover letter was thought enough.

 

When I suggested phoning the owner of a business and arranging a meeting in person they thought I was speaking in tongues! They simply did not understand that "older" people still valued face to face contact and did not see the advantage of beconing a known face rather than an anonemous bit of data.

 

They have to learn fast because outside of the pure IT jobs, people still want to look you in the face, listen to your voice, and form an opinion withing 15 seconds.......that will get you the job or lose it!

 

Edit: Perhaps I should add that the most successful one by far was a young woman who simply went to talk to people......and could pick and choose jobs......perhaps looks got the through the door, but personality get her the job offers!

 

Edit edit: The next best one was a young guy who initially volunteered to work for nothing as a temporary intern........he got paid a little "lunch money" because they thought he was great and added value above what they expected.......but come the next holiday, the same business took him on as a properly paid worker!
