Lesson One: how to feel old...

[RichardCranium]

My lot bought me some beers for my birthday.

Half way through I think I've spotted a theme.

So far I've drunk:

Old Thumper
Old Crafty Hen
Old Empire

Still to go I've got:

Old Bob
Old Hooky
Old Peculiar

Hmmmm.....

I remember asking my Mum is there was colour when she grew up.

I think the changeover (at least in the south) happened during the making of Summer Holiday, starring Cliff Richard. I think you can just catch it at the start of this clip

Explaining to your 15 yo son that you actually had to get up and 'turn over' an LP, it doesn't 'just know'....

I'm sure some DVD/blu-ray discs have similar setups don't they, to cram extra data on? Or did I dream that?

Well, I've got the tits.

Previously we've had;

1. How do you press the buttons on those old phones with a circle?

2. Does a fax machine actually send the paper?

3. Did you have colours in the 60's? Yes, we did tho there was only actually Technicolor not colour we have now. However if you where born 'oop Narf' it was still B&W until 1971 or you bought a licence - big money in Bolton so we stayed B&W until 1976 when I bought a red and green jumper and cost my mum loads.

Youth of today, and I've not started on the pit yet and I have watched Angela's Ashes recently....

Local Government Head of IT in the late 80s thought it did!

The 60's

Only some of the middle class upwards had cars and telephones - we used to walk or catch a bus to speak to people in person, or put 1d in the non-vandalised telphone box.

Televisions were rented because they kept breaking down and only one B&W per house.

You couldn't catch up on missed television as there were no videos.

We used to put a heap of coal in the front room and set fire to it to keep warm or use those dangerous paraffin heaters.

I think you may be confusing yourself with the early "flipper" dvds that you had to change over halfway through a film, back in the late 90's.

Remember 'ejecting a video'?

And remotes on wires?

And copy protection that tried to scare the tulip out of you, threatening to break the video machine?
