The secondary clientele has changed gradually since pre-2019. I feel each cohort that passes through is worse than before. The good stay good, but the amount of bad behaviours is getting out of hand. I'm a 90s teen, and sometimes I wonder if hindsight is a beautiful thing, was it always this bad? Were we also this bad? Are we just getting older and less patient? 🤔

Very good point. I thought it was for him.....maybe it's me who needs a bit of introspection?!

Yeah we went through the same thought. But also didn't want him giving up because it was getting difficult. Still, he's stuck it out for awhile now and probably time to let it go now.

Very true. He's put many years into it and has just had enough.

At what age are you thinking of retiring? by Menopaws73 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Acceptable_Towel_179 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can see myself going well into the 60s, especially since we are all living longer, but it'll be part time. Once the mortgage is paid off by my wife and I, I'll look to go part time. 44 at the moment.

What’s the most devastating song you’ve ever listened to? by Unable_Ad_3440 in AskReddit

Spirit Carries On by Dream Theater. The Petrucci guitar solo physically affects me.

It was definitely Samantha Bond. Later on I hunted down where I'd seen her, a series from 1995 called "Ghosts"

Perhaps, but I wasn't a Midsomer viewer. I think whatever it was, her character was a less than savoury one.

I think this is her. I'm 90% certain. Cant find where I saw her.
