You're very disrespectful to my mum, Towack, who worked all of her adult life as a teacher until she retired. Her sign-writing skills she learned at an adult-education class she took in her retirement, not wanting to stop learning. She's bright too, not taken in by National's idiotic 'asset sale' con, and she's not lazy or apathetic either, willing as she is to get out and protest against attacks by the Government on democracy. She'd call you a 'silly boy'. As for criticising her hairstyle, I guess she'd say that reveals the depth of your thinking...
I didn't say it wasn't funny, just that it's considered the worst of blogging behaviours. I find most things funny: blokes who give their trucks female names, that sort of thing. You reckon the woman in the pic looks like Russel Norman, Towack? Try 'Eye Catchers' or 'Martin and Lobb' - both good for what ails you.
It's strange how in so many cultures, the elderly are cherished, respected and revered, yet (generally speaking), us clever, modern Westerners seem often not to give a damn.
Suz, you can't blame it all on disrespectful youngins. Our western culture is also very good at creating a generation that only thinks of personal comfort and material gain, investing in the next generation is often seen as a waste of time.
I would suggest that respecting someone because of age only is a recipe for generational slavery, I will treat the elderly with dignity, but I personally only respect those that I feel deserve it.

Shoulda thought about that before wasting money on cardboard and crayons lady!
They're borrowed. You call women, "lady"?
Are you from the Alf Garnet era?
If u are referring to between '65 and '98 then yes, yes I am. Some era that!
tell her to get of the dole, stop complaining and get a job, she could afford a decent haircut then too

That's a woman holding the sign?
A lady, according to Anonymous.
My brother anonymous? Or cousin anonymous?
I'm stupid.
Me too
Me three
You are impersonating me. That's considered the worst of blogging behaviours, whoeveryouare@10:04.
But very clever.
That is actually pretty funny, just like the lady in the pic is impersonating the green co leader

Seems a tragic loss all round.
Well said, suz.
I cherish the elderly Suz, and you will get plenty of respect from me too ;)
Oi Towey...enuff with your cheek...I'm 45 and not a bit of rust on me ;)
Whose rust?
