mrsmackpaul Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 So true Bob Today's movies are so in your face, they rely on shock factor and smut to get bums on seats to watch movie John Wayne was saying in a interview once how the public arent idiots and don't have to have everything shown to them Some one shoots a gun at a bloke over and the bloke drops over dead The public can join the dots and there is no need for blood and guts to tell the public what happened There aren't many good actors these days and it shows when I try and watch most modern movies, they aren't enjoyable or entertaining Truth is I would rather participate in a forum like this than watch most modern movies today Im boring, I know this but you can't beat some of those old movies Anyway enough dribble from me Paul 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/12/#findComment-525852 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Hippy, I'm very determined and had some really special tradesman as a young apprentice They gave me something you can't learn in school and something has to earnt not taught The gave me self confidence in my abilities without hopefully been a cocky smart ass Trying to think how to explain it My tradesman of a different era than today must of seen something in me and my desire to try and fix anything Because they took time to teach me and really changed the course of my life They never did it for most apprentices, just the odd one I guess I was very respectful with out kissing ass and wasn't a cocky smart mouthed piece of shit And when I stuffed up I openly admitted it, they never really went crook but I certainly could tell when they weren't impressed with me They taught me how to not rely on others, but rather use my own brain and my own abilities And I had and still have a very strong work ethic Manners and and a good work ethic will get you further in life than any collage degree or university education So without sounding like a wanker I just plug along and do the best I can do myself, I get a huge amount of satisfaction in the doing of things Making videos for youtube was more a way of recording what I do for my son in years to come so he can see that even a dumb ass like his father can have triumphs and failures but we should still be proud of what we try and achieve Sorry more dribble from me Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/12/#findComment-525877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
