Shandon Par Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 8 hours ago, MSU said: It blows my mind to think that the year I was born, 1973, was a mere 28 years after the end of WW2. When I was a kid it felt like it might as well have been 100 years ago. Was thinking the same recently about a load of Beatles LPs we had at home as I kid. I'd play them over and over and study the album sleeves like they were some ancient artefacts but they were only from about 12-15 years earlier. I've got pants older than that now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 11 hours ago, MSU said: It blows my mind to think that the year I was born, 1973, was a mere 28 years after the end of WW2. When I was a kid it felt like it might as well have been 100 years ago. I was born in 1955. That means that most the adults who influenced my childhood (relatives, neighbours, teachers, etc.) had experienced the war. Looking back it seemed mainly a very grey unhappy time but maybe that was the legacy of having lived through such a harrowing experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 News reports of a "Black panther" (the furry, rather than the militant kind, though who can say what beliefs the cat may hold?) terrorising Ayrshire. Videos of "3 ft tall" black cats are always just domestic moggies. Scottish SPCA say "f**k looking for a big cat" and surprisingly a police helicopter search found no trace of the beast. I'm looking forward to the PM from DeeMan of the cat munching on a KA-based poster. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-45914506 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
