I reckon whoever wrote the musical that the song 'Kids' is featured in probably had kids in mind when he wrote:

Kids!

I don't know what's wrong with these kids today!

Kids!

Who can understand anything they say?

Kids!

They are so ridiculous and immature!

I don't see why anybody wants 'em!

Just you wait and see

Kids!

Kids! They are just impossible to control!

(Soon you'll be old enough to be)

Kids! With their awful clothes and their rock an' roll!

(Another teenage delinquent)

Why can't they be like you were,

Perfect in every way?

What's the matter with kids to--

Kids!

What the devil's wrong with these kids today?

Kids!

Who could guess the they would turn out that way!

Why can't they be like we were,

Perfect in every way?

What's the matter with kids?

What's the matter with kids?

What's the matter with kids today?

I generally find them annoying when I'm fast asleep and they jump on top of you - that is really really annoying. I'm a deep sleeper and probably have had a few beers the night before, could really do with an additional 3 hours kip and to be woken up you feel - ok the day has started and its going to be a long time before you get any more kip. Apart from that first in the morning thing, kids are (mostly) good fun.


Oh and the first 6 months after the first one is born - thats takes quite a bit of coming to terms with - your life as you know it - is over. It gets better tho.

I think NOFX put it best in the song, What's the matter whith kids today?


There's something wrong with the kids in my neighborhood

They always listen to their moms

They disregard civil disobedience

They'd rather do what they're told

They don't drink, or fuck, or fight

They sit home, and read, expand their minds


There's something wrong with the kinds in my cul de sac

Their always goin to church

They dress well and they're

Speaking articulate

They show eachother respect

They're never late, don't smoke

or break rules

They eat right, study hard

They like school


There's something wrong with the kids in my neighborhood


Or perhaps they were just being cantankerous old fuckers.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
