I read "angry vampire" until i saw the reply and read it again

This kid prob doenst wanna fix his car , so he can moan all he want on this forum.
ive read this forum from page 1 until here , what a drag that was.
a basic compression test , like 20 people bin asking is too hard for our 'honor' student.
damn i was fixing mopeds when i was 12 years old. even back then i could borrow a compression tester to test if the rings ar bad.

Just sell the damn cars for scrap and buy the diahatsu.

Wow! this thread is attracting noobs!

In my situation of being on my death bed, I hade this stupid notion of nobility that has brought little fruition from this young man.

I thought the dying reflections of an old Buffalo might snap him out of his self pity, but just add that to the list of things I don't know.

I know that it's not my life being wasted, but damn it makes me angry to see someone so young have so little regard for the gift that is life. The hard parts are your source of strength.

I gotta be honest WSR, I thought your “words from a dying man” (#243) were very poignant, knowing your position, and would have made the guy sit up and think…

I'm shaking and crying right now. What a poor soul!

Which is why I pmed him, to set him straight.
Half of me feels sorry for him, but the other half of me feels bloody frustrated by him.
It's as if he was my kid and I want to grab him and shake him until his teeth rattle.

Ah man, that is so bad.
Don't worry he has a long time to sort himself out.

i dont know ur situation WSR, but not all youth is like this. im 'only' 32 but i work my ass off and love tinkering / learning new stuff daily. most people i know are like this 'c*nt , dont wanna work , expect everything handed to them , and moan and complain all the way.

I hate to say this and am very aware that you are a newbie who cannot possibly know the background to a lot of us.
Not everything is clear and cut and dried.
I will not say anything more except that it might be a bit of an idea to take a breath.
Maybe I should shut up as I have been pming both protagonists on this and understand where both are coming from.

Okay ill stay out of this , sorry.
but the comment #261 got my blood boiling from the minimum wage thing

I think is because the younger ones from late 20s to mid 30s whilst still young we get lumped in with the even younger generation. Exorcism is my generation where we are still young but work to the bone for our things and mistakenly get the millennials are the baddies where it's the younger gen like the op.

The fact of the matter is that forums like this cover a massively wide range of ages and experiences. I do know a few on here who are even older than me!
So expecting them/us to be on the same wavelength as 21 yr olds is a big ask.
TBH I'd totally hate to be 21 now in the world as it is. So I massively sympathise with all those in that situation. Things sure as feck are a lot harder for youngsters than they used to be. And I speak as one who has grandchildren older than 21 and as young as 13. I really feel for them.

That's a refreshing view as we usually get the youth of today speech etc, so I can understand why @Exorcism felt the way they did too.
Collective we all agree op needs to pull a finger out and sort his discos. There has been enough knowledge given enough of the woe is me and enjoy the real world.

Also some of us young folk do come on here to get advice from the err maturer generations for advice as they have probably made the mistakes with less tech available to help so at least we have a good chance of learning to do stuff the easier way.

I think if he had his qualifications and a job he'd be in a better position to sort his Discos out. I'm retired and have two Disco 1s sitting on my drive in the UK awaiting my support since I retired, 9 years ago. So you'll understand why I sympathise with @LetsHopeItFits
I think he is being pulled this way and that and could do to sort out priorities. But apart from that and, as the French would say, the need for taking a few turns around his mouth with his tongue before opening it to speak, he should be OK. He certainly is bright enough and it would appear not too afraid of hard work. But needs to point himself, or get pointed in the right direction.
