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?

...and, to be honest, email, the internet, everyone having a mobile and text messages. Maybe anything that happens after your early twenties stays new because you have adult memories of what life was like before them?


(ETA: crossed with above but I'm leaving it in a spirit of solidarity.)

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.

    • No denying that Labour's first year or so has disappointed those of us who wanted major change.  But this demonising of the man is just ridiculous.  There have been some good things, but drowned out by this insentient right wing driven media hatred.  The same right wing media that loves Johnson and FaaReg (I think I've at last hit on getting the pronounciation right). A good example today - John Crace reports: That done [reference to Trump] , Starmer could move on. Britain had offered its full support to the peace process. Had worked tirelessly behind the scenes, with no need of recognition. Because it was our job. Recognising a Palestinian state had allowed other Arab nations to condemn Hamas. And we knew a thing or two about decommissioning weapons from the Good Friday agreement. But it was going to be a long haul. (maybe a rosy look, but nice to see something positive) A positive view on our position in the world and a player on the peace deal (albeit too late for many in Gaza) Here's GB news: Suella Braverman says she is 'ashamed to be British' after Keir Starmer’s 'humiliation on world stage' HTF can Braverman lecture anyone? Mail: Will Keir Starmer EVER recover from his viral humiliation by Trump in front of world? PM's efforts to bask in Gaza peace deal spectacularly backfire And slightly earlier in the Times: Starmer ‘duped voters’ and five more claims in explosive new book.  In this case the left sharpening their knives - perhaps they could go back to Corbyn's time as Labour leader.
    • This is one of the most stupid arguments used by all the far-right war criminal supporters to justify the unjustifiable. I can only advise you to study what defines a genocide, maybe you’ll learn a thing or two. Perhaps, you should also read about the great (Jewish) scholars Omer Bartov and Amos Goldberg who both (among others prominent intellectuals) concluded that Israel was committing a genocide. At least, they can’t be accused of antisemitism, I suppose. 
    • I am a big fan of Blue Brick..possibly my favourite local cafe for lunch..
    • Love Blue Brick and have had some lovely meals there,, never had a problem with service, always so accommodating.. Try and support local business, as much as I can.. on a recent visit, clapped my hands that Gail’s was done.. pity, as staff were great at the start, just went down hill …. Be, nice not to see another eateries..chain..  all for supporting individuals.
