You whippersnapper!
You have booted a PC from a cassette tape and thought it was the dogs doodahs!

Mobile communications meant a CB!

Not so long ago a woman drank me under the table.
Good girl. 😉
Disaster of a day, problems with one of the unix boxes, so have spent most of the day working in a text box.

Someone in a night club thinks you are CID

My kids don't know how work a tape player.
My kids are unaware that music existed in any actual physical format you could hold in your hand

When your riding buddies start swapping emails with pictures of them in their early races and you post up yours (national Track Champs) and not only was it taken before most of them were born, the track it took place on was knocked down to make way for Spaghetti Junction.
Oh - and those respectable old grannies - and you think "bloody hell, I ****ed her"

You almost blub at anything vaguely emmotional.
You think Nick Clegg is a completly ineffectual tool.............oh, hang on, he is.
The weathers dry/getting warmer ..soon you'll be able to corner the car faster/at a higher speed again like its on rails with no fuss. As I thought today.
