    I fear for the human race

    I really do. I came down to breakfast as usual, to find my kids watching youtube videos about how to play minecraft. These videos are put together by complete sad acts in their late teens / early twenties.

    Exhibit A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH-UwEza5Vk

    And these losers are earning mega bucks for playing video games

    And try and get the kids to help with manly tasks like an oil change, or power flushing the central heating and they aren't interested unless they can catch pokemon at the same time.

    I might be the last red blooded male on the planet at this rate that can change a tyre, while the other "modern" guys are getting mannie peddies while sipping latte and checking their twitter feeds.

    How will future generations procreate? Humans will be the next Pandas I'm telling you.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

      I'd bet you can't change a tyre. Perhaps you can change a wheel, but not a tyre.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        I haven't got time, I'm far too busy fixing stuff for Generation X while they lounge about whipping themselves up into a frenzy about the latest mod packs, or "levelling up".

        When I were a lad, levelling up was something you did to concrete.

            These sad acts can make a fortune doing this sort of rubbish.

            The well known ones are household names across the planet. In certain circles.

            Google gives them a %age of the advertising fees and some of them are getting 1M+ views on each video.

                That must hurt when you spend your day alternately picking your nose and scratching your backside.

                    I've shown my mum how to use her Hudl. She felt a bit daft but I told her to put it into perspective; she taught me how to use a spoon!
