They didn,t used to be for grown ups they used to be for teenagers and early 20s, it's the whole grown up thing that has changed them. But despite my flaming I like the changes (Glastonbury early 90s again , no thanks) and they are great with kids - the family orientated ones anyway, wouldn't,t do a big one with mine

Late teens/early 20's are grown-ups!

I meant there weren't loads of families with kids there. At least not when I went. If people had kids they left them at home with babysitters.

Colin Firth's D'arcy in Pride and prejudice. Sexy? NOOOOO.

Gravity (the film not the mysterious force that pulls two objects towards each other).

Baked beans.

Robin Williams RIP, only thing he did that I enjoyed was Mork and Mindy.

Champagne.

Wotsits and Monster Munch.

Oh right. So anything more than a decade old is off limits? I'll have to watch myself.

Off limits?


How do people leap to such assumptions?


I can comment about how stuck in the past you are without it being off limits no?


On the other hand if you are giving out about ten year old specifics...you hsvent exactly got your finger on the pulse


Or maybe you are actually Louisa

So electronic gaming is a thing of the past as are PS4's etc? Maybe its you that doesn't have his finger on the pulse.

I find it funny how StraferJack still alludes to Parkdrive possibly being me.


On the topic of old people going to festivals I think it's incredibly cringe worthy when someone past a certain age engages in stuff aimed at younger people in a very awkward attempt to rekindle youth. Red face factor times 1000.


Louisa.

Christ above


I don't think park drive and Louisa are same person


I thought PD made a list of things which were not just slightly pass? but well out of date. And that's fine. That's ok. He is well entitled to do so


But in the interst of dialogue,humour,engagement I made a jolly play on how out of date the list was. No malice. Normally I would expect some "chuckles" back. But no. Dead eyed, humourless offence


But "out of order"??? Really.

    • Another recommendation for Lukasz, he sorted out our bifold door. He came at the agreed time, found the issue very quickly, adjusted it, all very carefully and with attention to detail. And he was very reasonably priced as well. 
    • Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.   
    • Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.
    • Did you have the same covid jab as you have had over the years?
