Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Boys oh boys, those were the days alright. Nice recollections there Gummy.
Meanwhile back in 1980 there was a whole new generation of greed induced young people emerging, the dreaded Yuppies.
I suppose all the Yuppie bright young things will be in their late 50’s and early sixties now, cranky old shites most of them turned out to be, having fecked up the world with their filofax’s and their “greed is good” philosophy, stamping on heads to get to the top, they found out to their dismay that the ones already at the tip of the heap didn’t want a belt of them, yes there are quite a few disillusioned old yuppies around today, so wrapped up in themselves back in their heydays that they missed all the good stuff of being young and carefree.
God love them, me heart bleeds to think of the poor unfortunates. Strange how they don’t hold reunions for old Yuppies, they all keep very quiet about their Yuppie days.
Could you imagine the horror of having to admit to your grandkids that you were once a Yuppie?
Imagine looking into their innocent young eyes and saying with tears in your eyes “Kids, I have an awful shameful dark secret to tell you before I pass away, God forgive me, but I was a murderer all the time”
“There there now grandad, don’t cry, it could have been worse, you could have been a Yuppie”
