Listening to Sound of the 60s and remembering some of the pre Beatles shite that passed for music.

I think most of the pre-Beatles music was from the US? I can't recall much of it at all so that tells me something about its quality.

Oh no. Just heard Adam Faith and Frankie Vaughan warbling away, as well as some vintage US shite.

Mind you every time Frankie was in the radio my mum would say “He’s from Liverpool, you know”

Same with John Gregson and Rex Harrison.

[SamLad]

christ.

Adam Faith.  Frankie Vaughan.

both had been completely wiped from my memory.

oh - Lonnie Donegan!!! 

[RedBootsTommySmith]

Ive just got onto the fact that Im older than the Liverpool manager!

My son is older than him.

Went to a garden centre today, to have lunch and drink tea. Thats fucking death isn’t it.

I love a garden centre café. Always have a nice slice of cheesecake and a hot choc to warm the cockles. It's a bit like being in an old people's home atmosphere-wise though.

Fucking hell, that’s well mad. They’re woeful mate.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been to garden centres, but I’ve never done the whole sitty down eat thing. It’s like everything is just, dead nice(said in an Alexei Sayle delivery), the polite waiting room to death - is dead nice.

Did you give the staff an Anfield version of Oh come all ye faithful?

My gran used to love doing that on the year’s before her demise.

[Hark the Howard Angels Sing]

Went to my son’s in laws Golden Wedding Anniversary bash recently. My grandson took on look at the partygoers sitting patiently for the go ahead to attack the free buffet and said it looked just like a Tory party conference.

I laughed along with them but realised the youngster thinks I’m one of them as well.

[SamLad]

I'm old enough to remember when "dropping an album" was a bad thing.

same with "oversight".

[Ziltoid]

Thats Ziltoid at his wedding. Ya know , one of those daft wazzocks who has to wear a kilt or Scottish attire cos someone in his family a hundred years ago lived next door to Elliot Ness and thought it was in Scotland

Firstly fuck off you c*nt

Secondly got his autograph at the Sound and Vision Bowie concert NEC 1990, sat about 3 rows behind us.  Don't think any fucker knew who he was as i was the first to ask him, he looked quite sheepish (probably thought he'd got away with no one sussing him).

[Ah Fruck Christmas]

I remember and prefer Legos as just bricks, that you kept in a big bucket and had to make your own shit up.

Yes, I played Lego uphill, in the snow. Both ways…😜

Seeing Nunez was born in 99 and Curtis in 2001

[Statto Red]

Finding old bank statements from Midland bank :/

That reminds me of the time someone i knew [he's been dead a few years now] was in the boozer one evening, but pissed off because he was refused a loan, not sure the exact wording, but something like, the listening bank went deaf, the black horse said neeeigh, the bank that say yes, said fuck off.

Think there were a couple of others, which i've forgotten.

[Santa couldn't find his reindeer]

How old are you/Arne?

If I turn out to be older than him I’m confident (for now) that I have more hair.

Im 47, until January, Arne turned 46 in September..

[Santa couldn't find his reindeer]

When it takes you 10 mins to find the correct window on your advent calendar.

[Lidls Christmas Reserve Port]

Dont think I have ever seen my old man in shorts. Or jeans either

I was still a teenager in the 80's when my mum bought my dad a pair of jeans. The most 'square' jeans you could imagine. And, bless her, she'd ironed a crease in the front.

He tried them on for us and me and our kid just collapsed in a heap of laughter.

They never got worn again.

Not that it makes me feel old but its aboot old people

I thought it was just me. The dog has his own advent calendar but I have to open the windows for him to get the treat out. I have to put the reading glasses on to find the right window now. 🤓
