What are you ‘I’m old’ references that younger folk might not understand ?
I’ll start: ‘too orangey for crows, it’s just for me and my dog’

Yes! we did at high school, someone sat on chair and we'd pat them whilst chanting and then lift them on chair like they were light as a feather.
we also did tying pretend string to people's backs and pulling it so they fell back, or around legs and arm and lifting them up.

Ooh I remember doing that chair thing. Freaky!

Did anyone else sing the rude version of Fraggle Rock?

🎶 Down at Fraggle Rock (clap clap)
Grab that Fraggle by his cock
Swing him round your head (clap clap)
Now that Fraggle surely dead 🎶

Hopefully someone else admits to singing this 😳

We sang the last two lines,

Swing him round and round
Bounce his bollocks off the ground.

My husband has never heard this version and absolutely HATES me singing it, which is more often than is probably normal.
