Did enjoy the grumpy holidays programme broadcast last night though. Did anyone see it?

I watched this
It was quite entertaining in a switch your brain of kind of way
But anyway it got me in the missus talking about how do you know what decade you 'grew up' in - e.g. what is the defining factor which says that was your decade.
we came to the conclusion it was when you got your cherry popped and so made the transition from child to adult
which makes me an eighties kid

Not just me then. He was tulip enough to make me check Wiki.Originally posted by gricerboy View PostThere was also some annoying little toerag by the name of Russell Kane who could hardly have even been out of nappies by the time the decade turned but yet filled us all in on how he was there bang on the zeitgheist back in the day.
He was born in 1980. Twunt.

Didn't see it, but Russell Kane is good in stand up.Originally posted by gricerboy View PostI thought these were funny when they first came out & you had the likes of Will Self but the one I watched last night on the 80s just seemed to have those z-list media types who only ever seem to appear on this type of programme and do nothing else but sneer at, frankly, very easy targets whether it's Freddie Starr, Duran Duran or Noel Edomonds.
There was also some annoying little toerag by the name of Russell Kane who could hardly have even been out of nappies by the time the decade turned but yet filled us all in on how he was there bang on the zeitgheist back in the day. Give me the cheesey celebs of yesterday to this bunch of metrosexual dicks with their heads stuck where the sun doesn't shine anyday!
