When you're actually happy that SW4 is finishing at 10:30.

Stop bragging and get her smashed,lad.

Innit lad.

Jimmy Conway was 28 at our introduction, and Henry is 21 when he's romancing Karen.

 

I am serious of this,

Rihanna's just got an MTV Award.

Watching Planet of the apes with my missus and she says she can't take it seriously cause of how fake it looks and hasn't heard of Charlton Heston before.  Younger models have their benefits but she doesn't have make me feel old at times.   Similar conversation  about Robocop, Commando, Predator and other 80's classics.

What's the age difference?

[Grinch]

What's the age difference?

21-31. Ten years.

 

Whilst planet of the apes is well before my time. I grew up watching that and black and white reruns of the lone ranger on chanel four.

 

It'd be hard to get her to watch Schindler's list, never mind something from the 60's.

Since when did your taste in music improve?

[lifetime fan]

Always liked Massive Attack. They're no Kinks though.

Hr Indoors is watching some program involving the Bay Shitty Rollers.

 

Still sounds better than the shite the poor kids have to listen to now.

[Rico1304]

I'm going deaf. If I can see the person talking to me I'm ok, anything else and I can't hear thing. If I'm out and there's any background noise or music and I'm fucked.

 

It's brilliant.

Noticing how well groomed the younger generation all are and getting tired just thinking about the effort involved.

Yeah, my 15 year old steplad spends about 45 minutes just getting ready for school.

I dont think those extra 20 minutes in the shower involve grooming.

The last weekends I've been temping for Bristol Uni and UWE booking in students to halls.

 

I've lost count the number of times I had parents asking big me how I was after dropping mine off.

 

Cunts.

What really pissed me off was when I realised if I had a kid at 18 they would have been going to uni this weekend.

[Dr Nowt]

I'm back at a college I last attended in 1994. Last week I was sat next to a lass who was still four years off being born then.

 

See also needing proof of long since lost exam certificates for admission, and when pointing out I took them there so surely they should be able to get hold of them, being told "We don't hold records THAT far back."

When you say 'well groomed', you mean shit haircuts right?

[Section_31]

Was chatting to the Mrs about this the other day, and for all the moaning/joking about age I do I wouldn't change anything. I love the 80s and am glad I was around to see then, I feel lucky I'm old enough to remember the concept of 'playing out' as a kid, but am glad I missed the advent of mobile and social media technology when I was a teenager - that must be absolute hell. Also glad I was in my early 20s when everyone decided drinking 20 pints a night and falling asleep in your own sick was tremendous craic, rather than going for a Botswanan blend of coffee that's been shat out by a bat, but absolutely no way would I want to be a student now with these debts - or out on the lash every weekend either. Everything happened at just the right time.
