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.

    • Good luck with this - it is getting harder than ever to do an infant observation, I did mine at a local nursery as I needed to observe a child from 9 months - 3years. Mine was weekly for 3 months, It is surprising what you can observe during that one hour. I continued to use my observational skills throughout my 21 year professional career, After I retired, I returned to University and trained as a Practice Educator and went on to have 5 students and encouraged them not just to listen but to observe their 'clients 'body languages/ environment/ relationships with others. I would urge parents/caregivers to participate - you will be surprised how much more you will understand about your child and their development,
    • Regardless of who 'owns' the bin- the organisation regularly comes to empty it and clear up the area. They were there today (Weds)
    • I was just giving advice as to what to do with a 9 year old during school holidays as per Pugwash’s original post. I like to keep it simple Sue. 
    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.
