Darina Allen thinks the 20 - 30 somethings are a shower of wasters.

Irjudge1

Just watching the late late and Darina Allen the condecending old witch believes that we're kanckered if we dont have our credit cards.

Among the things that we should be taught.

How to cook.

How to plant a radish.

How to fix a puncture on a bike.

Is she right are we a shower of useless fools who are lost without the microwave, car and eh the internet?

Is that what she was on about? All I heard in the background was harping on about grandkids for a while

I can do those things better than her, burn her!

probably, but most of us don't marry somebody who likes photos of little kids, so we've at least got one up on her

Yeah she is trying to get a national "pass on your skills or something day" going.

She said it could be a two way thing. Your grandfather teaches you how tofix a puncture and you can teach him how to "play a playstation":rolleyes:

Tim Allen

Tim Allen set up the Ballymaloe Cookery School with Darina and worked in the school as a teacher taking a particular interest in Bread Baking. This lead to him have a TV program of his own and releasing the Ballymaloe Bread Book

In January 2003, Darina Allen's husband Tim Allen pleaded guilty to possessing 977 pornographic images of children. He was caught as part of the Gardaí's Operation Amethyst which tracked internet users who paid for child pornography with credit cards. Tim Allen was sentenced to community service, placed on the sex offenders register and ordered to pay €40,000 to a children's charity. The perceived leniency of this sentence provoked a good deal of public discussion.[citation needed]

Although there was considerable sympathy at this time for Darina Allen, there was also a sense of dismay at her seemingly inadequate public responses to her husband's activities. In the aftermath of the arrest, family representatives sought to make distinctions between different 'grades' of pornography.[citation needed]

Following Tim Allen's conviction, the Ballymaloe cookery school announced that he would no longer be involved in the business.

Cooking is worth learning, but I hate radishes.

Cooking is an important life skill and should be taught to everyone in school.
