Cultural references the ‘young uns’ don’t get

[Peculiar23]

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

@Oldandcobwebbylife flies by when you’re the driver of a train, underground and overground to every destination, careful with that spliff Eugene it causes condensation!

No.... no, no... no, no, no... no, no.....yes.

Quit your jibber jabber.

I thank God I wore my corset because I think my sides have split

It's too orangey for crows, it's just for me and my dog....

DC thought I'd lost the plot when I was singing this so I had to find it on YouTube and play it to them 😂

DON'T LOOK, ETHEL!!!!!!

And for other aficionados of old radio shows, I’m Julian and this is my friend Sandy.

Is it similar to Cow Tipping?

Have you been, Walter?

Can you see it on the trolley?

I sang "Ground control to Major Tom" at work (we were talking about a space technology company). Our analysts (all under 25) looked at me blankly - they didn't know the song, didn't know it was called Space Oddity, and only one of them was dimly aware of David Bowie but couldn't name a single one of his songs.

Also out of 10 of my colleagues (some my age and older), none had ever heard of Seamus Heaney, and when I said he published a famous translation of Beowulf they didn't know what that was either (they had heard of the Nobel Prize for literature but couldn't name any winners). Admittedly none of these people are originally British or Irish, but all have lived in the UK for 20+ years.

I’m afraid, I was very, very drunk.
To me, to you.
Look at what you could have won.
Just Say No!
Mixtapes.

We now watch mostly streaming TV services in our house. My dd has a fave show about a girl and summer which is on a streaming platform. She was incredulous at the decision by said platform to release the new season on an episode per week. She has had to wait a whole week between episodes to watch the next one rather than binge watch.

DD has no idea what it is like to have to be physically sat in front of the TV at the broadcast time to watch a program. Anything and everything can be caught up on via streaming.

Oh, jeez! My now 40-somethng sons used to have cartons of that in their lunch boxes 😂

I thought I was the only one who remembered Footso!

I pity the fool!

I recently sang the entire theme tune of the Wombles to a baffled, silent friend. Yes it was in public and I regret nothing.
