In my on-going campaign to educate my eldest boy (11yrs) I'm currently running him through The Stranglers catalogue on the school run - which he loves BTW (good lad!)
Then realised this is the equivalent of my Dad playing me "Ah, sweet mystery of life" by Nelson Eddie, when I was his age.
But it isn't is it?
Theres' a continuity now that wasn't there then.
Not sure what this means - but I thought I'd mention it.

Ha...good one Lazzard.

My two, just turned 11 and 14 seem to have absorbed my many years of school run music, both are now mega Beatles, Fleeetwood Mac, Jam, Queen and Blondie fans. Their love for Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Green Day and the likes of Jimi Hendrix have all sprung up as well....I'm still alone in my 80's pop bubble though.

Difficult age. They could fall for that Miley Gaga Direction shite. But I see you educated them well.

Indeed.
My 15 year old daughter listens to dub-step.
That's her out of the will.

Don't even know what that is.

It's that music that sounds like someone hasn't set up the speakers properly.

Ironically when I listened to it, some of the more hardcore stuff is pretty groovy.
But I shan't tell her that.
The only time she listened to anything I played with any interest was Killing Joke (Requiem, I think it was)

Dub step is much like the naughty step, but less fun.

A novel way to contribute to Children in Need.

If you were going to contribute anyway and you want a new way to perform a contribution to Children in Need instead of watching boring old Terry Wogan etc, you might consider sponsoring the 3-month old grand-daughter of my friend.

The baby is going to swim for charity.

Can any of you help to identify something I half remember watching as a kid?

I don't know if it was a sketch or part of a film, I only remember a few seconds of it.

The scene was of a family that lived on the tube in some dystopian future, and they survived by nipping out onto the stations and buying chocolate from the vending machines. The scene was that one day the dad didn't get back onto the train before the doors closed and so his family disappeared off down the line.

It's been bugging me for years!

That wasn't a film, it was a dream you had.

You're welcome!

Nooooo!

Is anyone else sick how sexist TV adverts are?
