Age gaps........... NOT a thread about a thread, but related..

[NaomifromMilkshake]

DH is eight years older than me.

The only time the age gap really shows in music.

I was going to oven roast some chicken drumsticks in BBQ sauce for the permanently hungry DS (18).

I opened the chicken and it was so off (despite today being the date) that I who have a strong stomach ...... heaved.

DH held the food bag open, whilst gagging, and I filled them, whilst gagging.

Anyway he came back in from the food bin and said OMG they were J Arthur.....

My 30 year old neighbour was standing in the kitchen and said what the hell is J Arthur....

DH is 63 this year, I am natch 55, we both got it.

I would hate to have to explain every point of reference.

Just an observation.

I am aware of the slang for a J Arthur, but years ago it meant rank.

I'm 48 and have never heard that before!

@missmouse101

Did you not go to the Pictures in your youth?

The opening credit with the man banging the gong?

Never heard that but I am 26.

My OH is 9 years older than me and frequently comes out with references I've never heard of. I just call him old and move on

Oh that! Yes, I see what you mean.
