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.

    • I was referring more to his performance at PMQs yesterday. It was quite a riot! Almost topped Mastermind  
    • Agreed, he should not be held accountable over the mess up over release of prisoners. On the other hand he did himself no favours with his gaffes on the BBC Master Mind programme where he passed on five questions. Where he did answer, here are some of his responses.... When asked who succeeded Henry VIII, Lammy incorrectly answered “Henry VII,” When asked which French scientist won Nobel prizes for both physics and chemistry?” Lammy responded with “Antoinette” When asked which fortress was built to defend Paris and later used as a prison, he answered “Versailles". When asked which variety of blue English cheese is often taken with port, he answered "Leicester" If nothing else he was entertaining.
    • Why do you think he should be toast? All these problems with the prison service apparently go way back, long before Labour took over.
    • Probably by working as a banker for a decade before being an MP, being married to another high earner, and using some of the accommodation allowance that all out-of-town MPs receive. https://www.theipsa.org.uk/news/why-do-mps-need-an-accommodation-budget Tbh mate if someone in her position couldn't work out a mortgage to buy a house in suburban London, they probably shouldn't be Chancellor in the first place...
