Just a little aside to the electioneering In my job I meet a lot of people that do “workman trades” Now a lot of them come from Western Europe, A lot of the most technical trades come from the UK and most of them are nearly OAP’s. There is no new young blood coming through to back up the very rapidly declining workforce. Last Month I had 2 service engineers for Steam Turbines and both were over 60 yr’s old. They still enjoyed themselves in the fleshpot of Labuan, but even they had no idea where the new recruitment was coming from and we are talking about the basic engineering personnel to just keep going what exists not producing the new tech stuff. NB when I said I had, I meant I paid, [This](http://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/38347128) is still not going well I employed them. ---

Ed Sheeran to have his bank accounts frozen and be deported to a corner in Baltimore. Non-negotiable. ---

I know Ed Sheerans live monitor engineer and he _always_ says “Ed’s great”…to which I _always_ reply “Gaybo” to which he _always_ replies “you always say that” with a hurt/exasperated look on his face My mate is as sharp as treacle ---

Ed Sheeran’s current single is a shallow attempt at embracing several market trends but emerges from the studio as a festering sore on the ripped arse of the music business. ---

Oh dear… :lou_facepalm_2: I’m almost too embarassed to say I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this new guy. I don’t think he can get much air-time on 6 Music…does he play in one of those beat combos? ---

There are precious few young British guys / gals coming through as apprentices in Construction as eastern european labour continues to support the industry more and more. This applies to all trades and professions too. I guess it’s not seen as an attractive industry to get into. The average age of guys on sites now must be about 40. All the nippers want to be Ed Fucking Sheeran, i s’pose. ---

Mu-ha! All this shit about changing wifi passwords that proud mums share on Facebook? I was years ahead of my time. Besides, these are not new qualities, as long term “Sotonians observers” would know. @complete-bollocks-fry knows that better than most. ---
