I note too, most if not all, of the subjects highlighted are middle aged men or older. All of which, I should imagine would have been used to spending their free time and imagination to a purposeful end. I suspect most men of their generation had one hobby or another and no doubt little or no money to indulge on it.
While not true of all, kids of today seem to resist all forms of activity, menatl or physical if it requires having to leave their sole occupied, high tech, carpeted, centrally heated bedrooms, unless of course it involves spending lots of money or having someone take them by the hand and provide the entertainment for them.
I suspect too, the Hack responsible, hails from a time or background alien to that of his/her subjets already mentioned (middle aged 0r older). Perhaps they should look at and consider their own lifestyle choices. Sitting in a trendy coffee shop drinking £3.00 a whup coffees, bemoaning the state of the economy and the hardships they face getting a foot on the property later is what I consider to be duller than Mr Dull, winner of last years Mr Dull competion or would have been except he was too dull to turn up and collect the Dull award.
