Thats it; its done it for me... I'm officially old

I told Tia that the CD was 25 years old today and she said; UH! well how did you listen to music before then... records luv! uh! whats a record! Errrr a big plastic disk with grooves... what the hell did you do with them!
put them on a record player... they had needles that followed the grooves! obviously she had no f£$%$ idea what i was talking about then wondered how you listen to your music when you were out and about.. Err tapes i replied, whats a tape???? Oh FFS
I am old!!!!!
Ah well; having a rather nice night whislt the missuse is out flounting it, sitting here drink Brahma Beer and playing LFS (**** hot at drifting now ) I reflect on being, well OLD!

 

But there's always someone older.....

My 'old git' baseline is being in the Falklands in 82 during t'war.... Annoys me when people at work tell me they remember that from School or weren't even born!!

It was hard but i had to do it, something in my comedy instinct made me do it boss... soz but artistic impression triumphed over rational

Yup, I too was at school during the Falklands Conflict (war was never declared until after we won ). Passed mi test in '87 Earliest music purchase I remember was Queen Live Killers and Greatest Hits on tape. Got a t/t shortly after and my fave albums for a while were Lionel Ritchie Can't Slow Down and Thriller
