Good old Paxo!!!!
I only watch it to see him roll his eyes to the ceiling and/or sigh loudly at the alarming lack of REAL intelligence among these student twats.
There are millions (literally) of them getting great results from school exams and not one of them has the sense to think,
" Hang on. If millions of us are getting these great results and going to university, then WHO'S going to do all the work??"
Answer - millions of students when they realise (eventually) that the number of jobs they're after is extremely limited.
I remember watching it last year and there was a 'listening' question and one of the songs was 'Bankrobber' by The Clash. And there they sat - eight of them with what-day-is-it? looks on their faces. And some of them were (nearly) my age!!
Meanwhile the savvy (wised up) kids are leaving school, becoming plumbers, bricklayers, electricians, scaffolders, car mechanics etc and RIPPING OFF the student twats when they become adults left, right and centre.
" So you want us to build a garden wall?"
" Mmmm, yes, just along here."
" Okay *strokes chin*, it'll be two or three grand"
" Erm..okay..can you start tomorrow?"
Pishing my pants at these clueless twats.
McCann. Hasn't sat behind a desk since 1975. And loving it.
