Old

[inlinefour]

Fark, does that mean I'm old to? I vaguely remember that before we got a colour telly. I did not piss myself but as a kid I got nightmares from watching Blakes 7. Yea this is a great site, we need to all keep it that way. Thumbs up to the mods to, good work lads and ladesses.

Ixion you must be REALLY old then?

[Ixion]

Nay, I remember the funeral of the old King, but only as a child. But there are some here who maybe swore him allgience.

Oddly, it ain't youff making the aggro, they're all over in LOTPIHGAD. Only sane place to be at the moment.

And black and white TV doesn't classify you as old. To classify as old you have to remember huddling over the big oak HMV radio listening to Life with Dexter.

What about "Dad and Dave" or "A Dossier on Demetrius" ?? Now that is "old".
A call for help again Ixion, "LOTPIHGAD"?? John.

Hey, I was a milk monitor too. Used to get it straight out of the little shed when the truck delivered it, with the condensation stil over the bottles. Hated it once it had gotten all warm sitting in a classroom for hours.

*AND* I was an inkwell monitor too.Used to fill the inkwells in the desks from the big inkjug in the cupboard each morning . Now *thats* old.

Ditto on the milk! And remember when ball-point pens were invented, they were banned from the classroom as they were'nt considered "proper writing implements". We learned to write properly with "Dip pens".!

[Edbear]

Ah , now THAT'S the crucial test. God Save the Queen ? or God Save the King

And didn't we get sick of seeing that coronation film over and over again!

EDIT: And,first prize to anyone here who has sworn "to bear true and faithful allegiance to his Gracious Majesty King George"

Okay, you win!

Nice place. Uber cool even. But be sure to leave your sanity at the door, for none who carried it into there ever carried it out again.

Hey we used to fight over being the "bell" ringer and we used to get a hiding (six on each hand) for winding the cord all up around the bell shaft!
It was worth it cause you were a hero in the school till the next one stuffed it up, then you were old news.
Another adventure was broadsiding the old school piano (on steel wheels) around the wooden corridors of the school! Got six and detention for that one.
Only hurt for a little while but bugger detetion while everyone else was playing footy. John.

PS:Hey I have done the King George thingy, started school in 1944.

[Coyote]

Yeah, the youth suck

[Storm]

Yeah, I'm only 25, cant wait till I'm old and crusty and can moan on about the "yoof of today", and "need a good war to sort them out". I reckon I'll be well on my way when I can sit back and say, "In MY day......."

Though there is at least one member who can claim to have been a subject of King George V (that's Fifth, not sixth) and Edward VIII. And still riding, power be to his right hand!

I was born in 1953,and have all the little Coronation souviners.I was going to be named Phillip after the dashing Prince - but my cousin was born 5 days earlier and snatched the prize.

School milk...yuk!! We would all line up and scull down the sour milk...and someone always threw up,then the mop and bucket would come out and replace the spew smell with Detol smell.I'm left handed,and the ball point was a gift from heaven - we went from pencil to fountain pen and my books turned into a frightfull mess...I would have to blot each word.

So,when did you start wearing shoes??

[MD]

... and standing up before it [movie] started for "God save the Queen".

I can j u s t remember doing that as a toddler.
Growing old's not as bad as the alternative Paul - not growing old i.e. dead
Motorbikes let me think I'm as young as I think I am.

I was born in 1953,

The other natural "disaster" that year was Tangiwai!
