Cultural references the ‘young uns’ don’t get

Called someone at work ‘Victor Meldruw’ and got looked at blankly. God, I’m old
Anyone else ??!!!

This is brilliant.

As poor as a mouse whose wife has run away taking all the cheese.

Ssid often in our house when the dc were little (fortunately they also love Blackadder).

A few years ago, I was shopping in one of those large shops that sell all sorts of things, and in the sweets section, a woman started singing 'A finger of fudge is just enough...' . Cue : 'Mu-u-um! Wot you on abaht?'
I joined in the singing and wandered off.

For Pete’s sake. (Thunderbirds)

Isn't it "I'll give it foive" @MinnieCauldwell ?

Today, I have mostly been wearing......

They'll never sell any ice creams going that fast

Oh that’s hilarious

Mange tout, mange tout!

Don't push me, push a push pop

A year or two back, I was talking to a work colleague who’s in her early/mid 20s about the type of outfits I used to go out clubbing in in during the very late 90s/early 00s (when I was in my late teens/early 20s).

I compared trying to get out of a skintight bandage style dress at the end of the night (having consumed a skinful of Smirnoff Ices and danced myself slick with sweat, whilst still teetering precariously on my trauma-numbed feet, scrunched inside my blood filled 6 inch platform heels), with trying to complete the Krypton Factor.

Cue a completely blank look and me embarrassed, just hurriedly explaining I meant it was really hard. But I know she didn’t really understand or appreciate the true extent of the pure physical effort needed. Nowadays I pull a muscle in my neck leaning in for a photo….🤣

@NebulousWhistler maybe it was all just a dream?!! 😂

Sorry, totally my fault. I thought you were commenting on their performances (I forgot about the poem)

Where you said:

"It started badly, tailed off towards the middle and the less said about the end the better"

I thought you were maybe talking about "The Black Adder" which wasn't the best of the series and then you were suggesting that Blackadder 2 and 3 were so so and the less said about Blackadder Goes Forth, the better.

Either that or you were perhaps saying that Duran Duran and Rio started badly, tailed off with Notorious, Big Thing and Liberty (wouldn't disagree with you there) and the less said about the albums since then (except maybe the 1993 Duran Duran) the better.

Don't tell 'im Pike!

🤣

Oooh, Betty

More cunning than a fox with a degree in cunning from Oxford University!

I know a little German, he’s sitting over there.

Yes - it’s the Kia Ora advert, @Rosscameasdoody.

Don’t mention the war!

Ignore him, he’s from Barcelona.

‘Stupid boy!’
