Sort of semi baked by anyone who still has a VCR & tapes of a
favorite film
they recorded off the TV sometime in the 1980's. |
|
|
Adverts for British Rail and British Leyland ? Harp lager ? Trophy bitter ? Tobacco adverts ? "ADIS - don't die of dyslexia ?" ? |
|
|
When the resultant rioting is eventually suppressed, they're going to come looking for you, and it won't be to nominate you for a BAFTA. |
|
|
There's some old flake adverts I wouldn't mind seeing again
<wistful> |
|
|
Though they might remind me that
they don't look like that anymore, so how much time has
passed, which would make me
feel old <glum> |
|
|
But you are old ... or at least, older ... |
|
|
Just how much older do you want to feel ? Think of it this way; this year, there will be people old enough to vote who weren't even born when the WTC was destroyed. |

The paisley-pattern dressing gown, carpet slippers, and tartan blanket for your knees are in the post. Included is a list of phrases to rehearse, such as "These <brand name> biscuits don't taste like they used to", "I remember when the weather in <season> was quite different" and "Who are you ? You're not my son ... they're taking my clothes, you know ... have I had my tea yet ? Who are you ?". |
|
|
Yes, allegedly, but I do a very good job of lying to myself
about that, most days, as long as I avoid any obvious evidence
to the contrary, mirrors can be a problem of course. |

You utter, utter.. utter "person born out of wedlock"! you
know until you said that I'd never even thought that
<sigh> |
|
|
Clearly I've hung around too long, I'll just go outside & dig a
hole then, just have [Max] send Sturton round in the
morning to
fill it in. |
|
|
// mirrors can be a problem of course // |
|
|
... as is finding your car keys, remembering the PIN for your cash card, and making sure you're never too far from a toilet - just in case. |
|
|
// I'd never even thought that. // |
|
|

|
|
He may fill in the hole for the look of the thing, but we assure you that your mortal remains will be trundled away in his wheelbarrow to his "laboratory" ... |
|
|
You mean the servants kitchen don't you? |
|
|
None of the phrases you've suggested ring any bells,
howsoever, regarding Mars bars "how much! I remember when
they were 20p" has been known to pass my lips. |
|
|
There are people who genuinely think The Phantom Menace was the first Star Wars film, and can't remember a time when there was no Harry Potter ... |
