Cultural references the ‘young uns’ don’t get

[Peculiar23]

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

Freddie Mercury said something like I dint care what you do with my music, just dont make it boring.

I recently went to see a ballet based on Quadrophenia. I was telling an acquaintance who said "Quadrophenia, what's that?" It made me feel about a million years old.

Women - know your limits!

The Bouquet residence, the lady of the house speaking.

Why does he want to see me?
I think he wants to know which way up you want to be crucified.

DH and I do the “to me, to you” chuckle brothers thing. Our kids are not impressed.

Also, when I look in the car mirror and realise I have too much blush on I always say that I look like Aunt Sally (Worzel Gummidge) again kids have no idea.

This reminds me of the time,in my 80s childhood, when my parents got a huge phone bill they couldn't fathom with loads of international charges (we knew nobody who lived abroad at this point.)

My sister sheepishly admitted she'd been ringing random numbers in the Congo, asking if they drank Um-bongo.

I always say that too. Said it to someone once then apologised as he’d probably never heard of Geoff Capes and he said he had as his Gran used to live next door to him 🤣

That's why I'm a Mod see
All that greasy clobber... diabolical
Oi Ferdy got anything nice for me..

I am dying with you....

We picked our son up from nursery yesterday and he'd had his face painted as a tiger. Both of us said, "Young Kenny!" Staff looked at us blankly.

Yes, we're old parents.

My girdle is killing me!

You are awful, but I like you.

@Rosscameasdoody you are a genius! i now know i don’t early onset dementia 😂

Basil de Farmer the Knight in shining armour
Fought against injustice with his sword held high...
He found a suit of armour and he cleaned it 'til it shone
He had to use a spanner when he put his trousers on...

<in a strong Welsh accent> Here I am, Will, 24 hours a day, trying to think what to give you and your family for breakfast.
And there's Phyllis-Doris with her massacred eyeballs and Nigel-Wynn has lost his cap...

Fresh as the the moment when the pod went POP

What did Horace say, Winnie?

All that way for a chicken!

Learn to swim, young man, learn to swim!

Do the Shake 'n' Vac to get the freshness back.

She's one of those mothers you get now and then, she never says maybe, she only says when.

Getting your head down darling?

That was Sandy Powell, my Great Great Uncle!
im so glad to see we are not the only people to still say that!

”Hallo gardening friends, Reg Prescott here <snooort>” @Peculiar23

Not wearing your eighteen hour girdle?

As Joan Collins looks crossly up through mascara dripping with Cinzano?

Oh now l really feel old !!

Wild? I was absolutely livid ( Gerald the gorilla)

My two dgs aged 11 and 8 acted out the whole “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition” sketch from Monty Python yesterday. I’d never seen it before.
Maybe there is hope that such cultural references will live on.
I’m always asking “What’s that in real money?” to the bewilderment of younger people.

I miss Kenny Everett !!

My DH, every time a siren goes past!
