I posted a shorter version of that the other day.

Hilarious that those bedwetters actually believe they're going to overthrow capitalism and "win socialism" :D

Im very much to the other side of the political divide to yourself and was at events a quarter of a century ago where people called each other comrade, and I can tell you for a fact if someone had said "Errr can we like keep the noise to a minimum because myself and others get triggered and sensorially over stimulated very easily" then this would have been respected in as much as people would have stopped yelling and started chucking bottles at the campaigner instead.

In the 80's (starting at the age of 12) I did 2 morning newspaper rounds. 5am wake up x 6 days a week rain or shine for $20. I wouldn't get back home until after 7.45am most days so would have very little time to get myself ready for school. The winter mornings were harsh and the saturday AGE weighed a tonne, but those paper rounds paid for a colour TV & stereo system for my bedroom and for my younger brother and I to go to the footy every week. :cool:

What type of bike you get around on?

BMX/pushie style or a mountain bike or a road bike?

I reckon every spectator at Victoria park in the 80s would have been die hard Labor/Union men and women.
They wouldn't have wasted their beer- they'd just walk up and spit on the weak campaigner

I'm a bit older than you pups so I started off with a green dragster similar to the POS below which I had for quite a while until i saved enough $$'s and bought a Mongoose BMX to kick around on. Didn't like taking my Mongoose to work as I was always worried that some campaigner would steal it as soon as I turned my back for a minute. I used a 30" road bike and later a mountain bike for my paper rounds as they were more efficient for that. I went through quite a few bikes come to think of it. My mates and I would be considered gun bike mechanics by today's standards, with the amount of pushies we fixed or put together from scratch back in the day. Spray painted a few as well. Good times.

Trade Unionists of the 70's/80's have very little in common with the over educated Neo-Marxist millennial watermelons of today that have hijacked the left and who could give two ****s about the working class. The first time I voted in a Fed election it was for Bob Hawke and the second time it was for Paul Keating. A lot of water under the bridge since then.

Old man reckons Geelong Road end was where most of the fights happened

I'm 55 and son who is 28 and owns his own successful business, coaches and plays footy and has a great lady, rocks a man bun, which shits me no end.
I raised the issue once.
Smart arse has kept a photo of me with shoulder length blonde hair from my 20's.
I had nothing.

But I'll have the last laugh.
Male pattern baldness is hereditary.

Lel, decent comeback

Reminds me of when I got absolutely smashed last day of year 12

Had a few with mates before school, only had to turn up to a farewell assembly after recess then we could go, then drank at a mates nearby, was 17 still.

Parents weren't happy with my state when I got home, they tried telling me off, but I said "yeah but I at least completed high school"...they shut up

I'm the same age as you and my son is 26 yo. He's been travelling overseas for the last 2 and a half years. Have caught up with him a couple of times in that time, but the last time we face timed he had a man bun. Fa rk me!
He displays many millennial traits like complaining about baby boomers having the best times etc, I just tell him to stop whinging and get on with it. He loves a lot of the same music as me and we have been to see a few bands together. He also likes a lot of old shit, like 70's cars and record players etc so we get along pretty well.
I have a daughter who is 23 yo and is not very millennial at all. She hates the way a lot of young people carry on and get offended over SFA. She's an expert shit stirrer and won't let people give her a hard time. We get along real well.

Yeah my youngest girl is 18 and the same as yours, but goes to Uni in Canberra and finds it tough with all the hand-wringing socialists/do-gooders etc. She's 6'1" though and takes no shit.
Don't tell anyone, but she's my favourite.
We are way too similar.
All my kids (3) are farm kids and pretty grounded.

A nice 1991 recession with 18% interest rates etc will sought these whinging little bastards out. And it's coming I reckon.
 
Ah, the old times were the best times
Wait, what? No, the young people could have the best times but they're too lazy and useless
And why don't you see horses in pubs anymore?

Typical Millennial reply.
There's thousands of them, including one of me leading a bull, (I know that's not a horse) into a bar, and the bastard was that heavy he fell through the floorboards, (I know), and it cost a lot to get the fire brigade to come and cut the poor bugger out, (I know), and lucky the big bugger was dead quiet.

Now.

Do your own f***ing research you millennial twat!
