Actually had that up until just a few years ago; tv was never considered important enough to pay. He likes the sports channels so keep it.

We have heaps of channels that are all free now. In Australia we don't have to pay for our tv like they do in the UK either. We are quite lucky considering what we get for free.

You realise that the "modern sound processor" you just got hold of is over 20 years old.

Your technology is old enough to join I2.

The modern ones are mere toys so yes, that's true.

You're getting old when making statements like that while thinking "and what's wrong with that?"

What is a mevrouw?

I feel old now that articles written in the 80s are not recommended to reference because they are too old.

Mevrouw in this case is both Mrs, and woman.

You're talking about your latest band crush with the waitress at the local diner and out of your mouth pops,

"They're so adorable.  I can't decide whether to adopt them or fuck them."  :zombiefuck:  :emb:
