Critisising the certificates given for films in a there's not way that should only be a 15 way!!!

[Hellion]

Saying I saw I saw a band that disappeared 20 years ago.
Saying I wore flares, slouchy boots, straight, jeans, etc the first time round.
Oh and mentioning Spangles lol!!!!

[ermintrude35]

...saying that I remember all the hits in the current charts the first time around, and that they were much better before all this remixing lark!....

Turning my car on a sixpence

[unruliejulie]

so many ways dot but listening to my sons crap, sorry rap music, i.e 50cent, does it to me. I feel like my Dad when i start about that dreadful row! He never gave us a break when top of the pops was on way back in the 70's! Also hearing all the re-mixes of tracks i remember the first time round and my son looking at me like dirt when i say they've ruined a blody good song! I could go on all night really but i wont!

[Hellion]

Singing all the words to a 'new song' by......

[oldwoman]

[dot.hawkes]

thankyou oldbird, i think there is a mystery afoot and it bugs me

[Metz]

Telling my kids how i used to tape top of the pops on tv with a tape recorder and a mic held close , telling everyone to shhhh and trying to cut out the talking bits ! LOL!

[cherrybomb]

When my daughter is angry with me and makes nasty comments and I say "It will come home to you" I remember that my mum used to say the exact thing to me when I was a teenager.

[unruliejulie]

Metz, i used to do that every sunday night with radio 1 top 20 as it was then 6 till 7,with my tape recorder perched between the 2 stereo speakers, waiting anxiously for the next record you wanted to tape, trying to avoid the dj butting in on the intro and at the end, fingers poised, then my Dad would walk in calling the dog, or you'd get that awful squealing from the radio! I think i still have one of those tapes somewhere. memories!

[China Doll]

What's a 'gill' Dotty?

Signs I'm getting old... I no longer understand a word my teenage sister says when she texts me.... I mean l8er?! Bloody yoof of today....

[~Floella~]

My daughters didn't know what an "album" was, and they look at me like I'm mad when I talk about buying singles on vinyl for 50p.

I remember our house being one of the first in the street to have a colour TV. And the excitement of Ch 4 starting.

Also going to Saturday Matinee at the pictures for a sixpence. (Now I'm really showing my age!)

[horselady]

When I look in the mirror first thing in the morning, with no make up on and my Mum's face looks back at me!
