* New generation. I was flipping freeview channels and stumbled on Jeremy Kyle and Trisha. Usually a source of great amusement and excellent advert for the unplanned life.
What struck me was that there is generation of males who are babysitting leeches. It became obvious (and I rush to say it is a perfectly valid life style) that the women in the relationships were the stronger partner and the males were snivelling leeches.
For example all the young guys had attached themselves to a flat/house renting female with child had moved in and spent their days doing f*ck all except babysitting the child. They protested their devotion to the child, etc, etc.
The plain fact in all cases they were scared they would be kicked out and leeched on best they could. Once a leech has found a nice regular blood supply its not keen on detaching and floating around until another host comes along. Can't says I blame 'em. These guys when challenged snivelled and wined to a man.
The fact that the women held them in contempt was perfectly plain. Of course we have to remember these people are on TV, still.
I was wondering if all these males had been brought up (a perfectly valid lifestyle)
without any male role model? Either that or they're male role models were well in touch with their feminine side.
Help where doomed!

* I haven't commented on the news as it is so surreal already it doesn't need comment. I must admit I was rather proud that English teenagers are the worst (or best depending on your point of view) in Europe. Lets face it nobody gives a F*** about Europe are we worst than American and Australian teenagers. That's what we want to know. Write to the BBC explaining that their comparison criteria are useless.
