British Comedy Guide

I'm so old I remember

When comic relief was funny

When sending an email was more exotic than a letter.

When pulled pork meant wanking

When toilet paper companies didnt ask how you did your business.

That people can actually survive without cell phones.

Justin Timberlake was in a "Band".

George Michael was in a "Band".

Doping offenders were regarded as individual cases

I'm sure I remember half pennies being around, but I don't remember anything actually costing half a p.

Maybe we just had some old ones lying around the house.

*Shakes head and raps Zooo on the head Biff Tannen style:

Zooo, when a man says he'll show you his ha'penny, he won't show you something you can put in a Sooty collection box.....Unless it is Sootyj and his will fit.

We have Woolworths in Aus. It is a supermarket. They never really sold cds though.

Reds makes me remembering seeing "Crocodile Dundee" in cinema when it was new.

CDs ! Them's new fangled inventions! I was brung up on quarter inch spool to spool tape & that was considered brand new. Oh I think we had 78rpm Vinyls as well.. hard ones that broke easily.

When all this was fields.

When they made proper music.

When I was pretty old, and that was a while ago.

When smokers sat on the left in cinemas, pubs and the top decks of buses.

When buses had clippys with mechanical ticket printers.

When you couldn't eat South Africa apples.

When 3d cinema meant cardboard glasses

When science programmes didn't have the aesthetics of "cool" music video clips.

I remember when TV's were all fat.

I really hope you didn't enter the transgender sitcom competition Chips!

Badumtish!
