She now uses the correct terminology for those important things in life (The Scum, The Swamp, Rat-boy, Bacon Face, Twitcher, Arsenic etc etc) and already loves City, as well as football in general. Musically, she's on the right track as well, if you'll pardon the pun, as she's just starting to play the flute and is a big fan of my favourite band of all time; the wondrous 'Camel'.
Apart from that, she's also playing Chess and Bridge (no connection with useless full backs, I might add).
Yup, her education is developing along very sound lines indeed, so grand-parents as well as parents have an important part to play in shaping the future generations.

I suppose that's a fantastic analogy to make if you decide to totally ignore Stryder's continual reference to his Ghanaian roots, and the possible connection between this and any admiration he has for Mario...

Blame the parents.
43 mate. I do blame the partents for not taking an interest in a childs musical education (something thats very important to me). They`d never go on x factor or make music like this tosser (class my arse). I feel I`ve contibuted to making the gene pool stronger rather than weaker. Sorry if you feel guilty pal but I don`t.
I've done nothing with my kids that makes me think I have diluted the gene pool.I have not made any choices for them in many things,music being one of them.They can decide for themselves what they like and believe.
By saying that your kids would never go on X factor seems to be more forcing your opinions on them than letting them make their own minds up.
If my kids do something as cretive as Mr.Stryder has done they wont get called tosser's by me.

He`s a tosser cos he`s a rag. if my kids made a tune like his I`d dislike it. They wont go on x factor cos the contract the winner gets is only a by product of the show, the show is all about getting people to phone premium rate numbers. There`s no real talent on it. The only people forcing their oipinion on anybody is simon cowell, he`s telling the watching public what they should like and buy. These tepid acts stand in the way of real talent getting airtime on radio stations as they are jammed up with shit like olly murs and that scrawny bird with dark hair who came 19th last year.

They're probably right then.

If other people do that`s fine by me. i don`t like the concept of the show as it`s conning people. There votes really don`t count. It`s meant to be a talent show but it`s not. Why do you have to wear skiny jeans and have spikey hair to prove if you can sing after all that`s what it`s meant to be about, however if that`s what you like fill your boots. I just think it`s wank..only my opinion.
