I'm getting old oh how times change!

[Darren Richardson]

Dress down last Friday. My The Crow tee was on the clean heap. *nobody* recognised it. Nobody has ever watched The Young Ones or Bottom....

I remember watching Bottom late at night when I was a Young Teenager (tm), such a shame that Rick Mayall died recently whil still fairly young (56 these days is young)

Also, I have a copy of my high school graduation on....

wait for it

BETA!!!

I remember Betamax!

My dad had one, kept chewing up the tapes, so it's no wonder it went the way of the Dodo

Certain trends lately remind me of how old I'm getting and how young people are so rapidly changing........I'm getting old... this sucks.

I know how you feel, your not the only one who feels this way my friend....

You're not old, just not very good at embracing change, even when it's for the better.

Yes the whole world is changing very fast, some for the better, some for the worse.

Lord Tsien Tsien is pleased....

I sometimes feel my entire existance is an anachronism.

Well, I'm a Mentor to around 85 colleagues. Majority are young Graduates just beginning their careers.

In the words of Muse, and the song I'm listening to right now? It scares the hell out of me.

Dress down last Friday. My The Crow tee was on the clean heap. *nobody* recognised it. Nobody has ever watched The Young Ones or Bottom.

Pretty much all my pop culture references (and there's a lot of them. I'm like a walking episode of Spaced, with interposed footage of Carry On films) go over their heads.

Yeah I hate this when talking to the youth of today, so many things go straight over their heads...
I heard about one the other day who'd never heard of Dan Ackroyd or the Blues Brothers

D-Day was only briefly touched on in my school, but honestly I don't have a problem with that. Instead the WW2 focus was on the Pacific, as in the bits that Australia was actually actively fighting in. Things like the bombing of Darwin and the Kokoda Trail and the sacking of Singapore. I was actually stunned to find out that in Europe and North America that entire area is completely ignored. >:|

I think the British army over there is the one refereed to as the forgotten army. We barely cover North Africa and Italy as well. WWII education consisted of the ****s rise to power, Dunkirk, and D-day iirc.

How to rectify this?

I mean, what is the best way to trick 85 people into watching Adam and Joe on DVD??

[Wolfshade]

Ketamine

[Mr Mystery]

Drugs are bad.

[Wolfshade]

You tell that to the diabetics...

[Psychosplodge]

you were doing so well with spaced and the young ones (£12.99 complete HMV) but nobody deserves to have to watch more than one episode of the repetitive Adam and Joe show...

You'll be telling us you didn't like Bits or Vids next. Heathen.

I've heard of neither, but don't forget in those days ITV was a lot more regional.
