It can't be that old surely!

I was genuinely gobsmacked yesterday to see someone post a thing on facebook about Shawshank Redemtoion being 20 years old

20 bloody years!!!


There are things more recent than that which I'd have sworn came first.


What things still feel quite new to you, but really really aren't?

Not meant as a lost youth thread RD.


Someone said Britpop, but for me that does feel like ages ago. In my OP when I said "There are things more recent than that which I'd have sworn came first." I was actually thinking of Oasis songs.


I still think of The Killers first album as quite recent, but that's over 10 years old now.

Shawshank only 20 years old? Suppose I've been busy bringing up children but this is my all time favourite film.


No mobiles or internet in 1994 as far as my world revolved (even now my phone is 8 years old) but I'm looking at how much the actors have aged over the past 20 years on Otta's Daily Mail link.

    • In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage.  1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic  sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts.  4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.  
    • This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣   But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye. 
    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
