Worse airport I’ve ever flew into or from and like yourself, it kind of ruins any trip I make. Flying from there later to Budapest and I’m dreading it

That’s absolutely crazy, but am guessing it will have been easier to do then than it is now and imagine a more of that went on than we could imagine

It’s ace isn’t it, but quite a bit of it is untrue

I was 12!

Philip @blumphy.bsky.social · 15h

True, but people were seriously worried for me. I looked quite bummable to paedophile when I was that age so the worry was understandable

Very long story so shall keep it short

went playing football with a mate and his uncle instead of going straight home from school aged 10! Didn’t get home till after 22:00 to be greeted by 2 policemen asking me all kinds of questions as they’d been searching for me all over Manchester

Was at a best mates funeral on Friday, order of the day was shit shoes

I hope I’m wrong too, but it’s just the way I see it and think social media is the biggest driver of it. Doing far more harm than good

It’s what makes them like that, I’d be interested to know. It’s a learned thing, surely? Imagine how shit their upbringing was and the people who surrounded them

Pretty depressing to witness isn’t it. Think we’re witnessing the complete breakdown of society and I don’t think I’m exaggerating

Absolutely. Only thing bringing them joy in life is someone else suffering
