I was  23 years younger in 1987

Wow, me too! High five!  :orly:

Not me, I am 29 now. And I got to be 22 in 1987.

When all of a sudden there they are again.
Boys with trousers hanging from their but as if they have just shit their pants. That's the way they walk at least.
It is so incredibly unsexy.
At least third time around that trousers like that pollute street view for me.

I'm getting close to that point myself...either reading glasses, or bifocals. For now I take off my regular glasses when I need to see close up. I'll keep doing that as long as it works!  :2thumbsup:

I tried contacts in high school, lost 2 of them in 6 months, and my parents said Enough! I'll never put plastic thingies in my eyes again!  :o

...you feel comforted and restored by listening to the :notes: of your youth. I used to roll my eyes at elderly people who sang WWII-era songs as if the war had never ended, but now I get it.  :-\

I heard the bus drivers channel on the radio and it was awesome. I have missed the radio each day to work. I listen to the local station with all the latest and love it. I was getting into his music and then they announced the radio stations ID. It was the oldies channel. D'oh!

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I was thinking on getting myself a handful yesterday. They only cost about two euro or so.

I've got an aunt who has them at a discount in all thinkable colours. She has one to match with every piece of clothing and every handbag. (collecting handbags...) Very funny, but also convenient. Getting old with a twist she is.  :green:
