    Lad culture, chav culture but with jobs to fund 'getin mashd brv,'

    Yeah, and the main topic of conversation is football. Laddishness is so immature as well.
    There is a saying locally, lads like football, men like rugby league. The RL guys I drink with are far better company than laddish football fans.

    I get the impression that those who hate the notion of this do so because they couldn't imagine themselves as part of a male group, or being able to hold their own in that group, or being able to surrender to the inevitable ribbing or general tomfoolery that goes with it.

    Inadequate misfits, in short.

    Not all males feel the need to behave like immature children, nor base their personal inter-communication on knuckle dragging one-upmanship as part of a mutually-affirming pack. :yawn:

    Nothing wrong with a bit of lad culture, yeah it can get loud and boisterous but it also be as funny as hell to be involved with.

    As long as it's not harming anyone or anything.

    Blapping, right?

    No idea. I'm getting an education about these things though, so thanks. :)

    Yes, some males still live at home with their parents long after they should have moved out, have no friends and never go out and socialise, and it makes them feel better about their miserable existence if they post commments on an internet forum that pour scorn on those who seem to have a fun social life, lots of friends and a healthy sex-life.

    Oh the irony - and need for self-justification. So genuinely funny.

    P.S. Enjoy your 'banter' dahn the pub tonight ...:D

    My post wasn't aimed at you or anyone in particular.

    I apologise if it has struck a nerve.

    I think it was at its height in the mid nineties when televised football took off and laddish groups like Oasis were popular. I never got it.
