Nostalgia.

Two old men sit in the park reminiscing.

Old Man #1
Remember we used to never lock our doors, what happened to those times?

Old Man #2
We all got robbed.

Nice one!

I think you could lose the "what happened to those times?" to make it a bit sharper. Could make a good runner.

Gav, this is so sharp, it's a little bit sexy. Great!

He still needs to ask the question. So maybe just - "What happened?"

I think he could say "Remember when we never had to lock our doors?" in a longing and admirable manner only to have it shattered by the others blunt honesty. Would add a bit mire dynamic rather than a one note feel.

Feedback taken onboard Ben I will give both a go see how it pans out. It maybe the case your correct and in performance yours is better always worth trying :)

Nostalgia could be right, is this not an old joke? Unless it just feels like it should have been said before. I dunno.

I not aware of it being done before. But it could of been. If find out lemme know!

Two old geezers sitting on a bench. One is reminiscing, the other died of boredom hours ago.

Nostalgia Isnt as good as it used to be

I always thought Nostalgia lived up to expectations, I would examine it's achievements more closely, but I left my glasses at a hotel in Telford. Shame they had a nice tint to them.

I thought this was ace. Think Old Man 1s line is better like this as the "what happened to those times?" bit of rose-tint gives the punch a greater impact.
