OJ Simpson


There's one person who rarely gets a mention in all this. That's Ron Goldman the friend of Simpson's wife who Simpson also murdered.
Ron's father is still alive and 83. His son was only 25 when he was murdered and had a great future in front of him. His father was dignified when told of Simpson's death and said he prefers to think of Simpsons victims not their killer. He'll be pleased Simpson has gone though and pleased he lived long enough to see him go.

A lot of young people are so detached from world events is incredible. I used to work with a lass a few year ago and it was pure entertainment to quiz her about her thoughts on the world.

Tony Blair was an American president, World War Two started in 1965 and she'd also never heard of The Beatles. The sad thing was she could tell you anything about anyone that had ever been on Love Island.

I've also encountered this.

It doesn't bother me, but occasionally you get people who are so happy being ignorant, that if you try to correct them they get quite nasty.

couple Christmas ago I told a lass that Elvis didn't write always on my mind, and she screamed at me and called me some rather unsavory things. Of course she was all eyelashes and attitude like

Nothing new there.

Knew a lass back in the mid-80's who reckoned Springsteen was the greatest guitar player the world had ever known. Threw a drink at me when I said if that was case he wouldn't have two other guitar pickers in his backing band.

An old one of mine, copied and pasted from a previous post:

An old one, but between me and a lass I know.

Me "Watch owt good over Chrsitmas?"
Her. "Yeah, we watched that film with James Corden in it, about Paul Potts"
Me (half listening). "He looks nowt like Pol Pot"
Her "Why aye he he does"
Me "Doesn't"
Her (Googling) "Here, here's a picture of him"
Me "That's definitely not Pol Pot"
Her "It's Paul Potts, you know, he won Britain's Got Talent"
Me "Never heard of him"
Her (laughing like a seal choking on a leg of lamb) "Everyone has heard of Paul Potts"
Me "Not me"
Her "Anyway, who's Pol Pot?"

James Corden does look a bit like Pol Pot. Both pretty jowly in their prime, and with a kind of square haircut.

Had a work colleague-late 20s, had never heard of Ukraine and didn't even think it was a real country until Russia invaded it. A few weeks later though, she was the world's foremost authority on it, all over Facebook.

I know every generation likes to say that the one below is lazy, stupid etc but genuinely there's a level of air-headedness I encounter with Gen Z that some of them almost revel in.

If you know the answer to a general knowledge question they look at you as if you've got two heads.
