When you walk past some kids drinking outside the Co-op and as you approach you hear them say, "Hey who is this? Oh... it's just some random man." Some random man!? I wanted was to smash out 8 cans of stongbow and vomit everywhere, all I wanted was to fit in. Then I realised they were born after the year 2000 so I went home to drink ale on my own and cry.
Also, when people much much younger than you moan about getting old. Sorry guys

You know your old when you try an discuss things from when you were younger, an they stare at your blankly like your some kind of weirdo for mentioning opal fruits or smoking in pubs.
Or you realise you'd been working ten years when they were born0 -
I remember opel fruits but smoking in pubs must have stopped a year of two before I was legally allowed to drink (obviously I never went to pubs underage...)0

Opal Fruits in pubs? The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.Veronese68 wrote:PB is the most sensible person on here.0 -

I saw them at The Garage in Islington a few years ago - Charlie Harper came down to where they were flogging the t-shirts and yep, he was looking a bit rounderGarry H wrote:Stevo 666 wrote:Or The Jam without Weller.
Best band I've seen lately are SLF (twice).
Saw UK Subs walking by a Loch in Linlithgow a couple of years ago. Turned out that they were playing nearby that evening. Charlie Harper looks like he likes a pie or two.
Other good one for me was Hugh Cornwell (doing all the old Stranglers stuff) - with Hazel O'Connor and John Cooper Clarke as support acts.
Coincidentally just had an email from a mate about another SLF gig...tempted."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

Tell me about it. We have a graduate trainee at my work, we were chatting about uni days. He asked me when I graduated.
It was the year before he was born

Talking of SLF. I remember a mate's older brother who just seemed to play Tin Soldiers continuously. He'd fought in the Falklands and I think was going a bit doolally at the time.

I think we need a punk theme thread!0 -
Sham 69 were more of an Oi band than a punk band!0

As a supplier I took two clients out for lunch, the older lady had recently resigned and the younger lady was taking up her role. It was an informal introduction when the subject of length of service with the bank came up with the older lady stated she was moving on after 32 years at which point the younger lady said that the length of service was more than her age.
"Interesting" would cover the rest of the lunch“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring”
