, hate threads that remind me that in a year or so , I'll be 40, Mac whats it like toi be old
Recently got talking to a student work experience/project type at work and was delighted to discover he attended the same uni/course as i did, we got to chatting about the old haunts and tricks , when asked how long since i was there i replied, not that long, and the next question was what year , i replied '88 and then it slowly dawned on me with sickening realization that it was OVER 20 years
So yes i remember most of those things on that list, even more worrying ,I have a LP ' Now thats what I call music #1' the range that is currently in the '80's
my first CD was a major investment at the time, Dire Straits- Brothers in arms ( which some thevin Swedish trollop of an ex stole years ago, and still has'nt returned it. Anika if ur readin this I want my CD back, oh and do you have the spare key of the flat)
Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.
yes... but only when VERY drunk!!As you slide down the banister of life
