Just had the piss gently taken out of me in the office due to my  quite markedly receding hairline.

When I retorted with

” It’s not baldness, I suffer from premature Kojak-ulation”

I was treated to  a shocked, tumbleweed laden silence.

It was only then that I realised that I was the only person in the place old enough to have ever been alive when Kojak was a common cultural reference.

I didn’t even follow up with my Ray Reardon references.

I’m only 47 but, today, I feel very, very old.

I remember Kojak. My Grandad loved it.

Ha, there must have been loads of times in the past when I failed to laugh at my Dad. Now I understand why.

I remember Kojak. My Grandad loved it.

🙂 splendid 🙂

47? Not that premature.

Not that premature.

I’ve been using the same line since I was 26.

” It’s not baldness, I suffer from premature Kojak-ulation”

It’s better than that broccoli joke that just won the fringe…

I mentioned JR Hartley to a colleague recently and he looked at me blankly. That BT advert came out in 1983. My colleague was born in 1997. I felt very old at that point.

47, I remember when I was 47…

Anyway, Who loves ya baby?

I’m only 47 but, today, I feel very, very old.

We love you baby.

Who loves ya baby?

Cootchie coo!

Aw Perchy,everybody should have a little Greek in them.

😉

If it’s good enough for the Queen….

and…he’s back in the room.

I used to go to a Crossfit gym and whenever an 80s hit came on their stereo I would think back to when I bought the album etc and then realise that no one else in the gym had been born back then…..

I think your audience were just a crocker thickos. Kojak was remade in 2005 starring Ving Rhames as the bald fella. Everyone knows that 😀

What you did there….see it I do.

Two of my colleagues don’t know what a photocopier is.

To them it’s a “3 in 1” or “scan to print” machine. Although the idea of copying physical media is kinda of alien to them.

I’m not really into football but I was having a conversation with a younger work colleague who mentioned: “Jordi Cruyff is a really good player”

“Not as good as his dad though.” I replied.

Pause …

“Who?”

Whitestone …
Jordi Cruyff was never a really good player …..

For some reason a conversation with a colleague got onto morning facial massage routines. I mentioned American Psycho, she looked totally blank and said “I don’t know that film”

It was only then that I realised that I was the only person in the place old enough to have ever been alive when Kojak was a common cultural reference.

thats no excuse – he’s practically local

@mrmoofo –

Jordi Cruyff was never a really good player …..

I never said he was.

in a pub the other week, and the card machine stopped working.

“What did you do????” exclaimed my twentysomething colleagues, when I came back from the bar.

“I…paid with cash. I usually take cash with me on a night out,” says I.

“Wow, that’s really oldschool!”

Er, is it?

I preferred Kodak – story of a tough New York photographer.

Nah, Kodiak was better. Drafting a backwoods bear into the NYPD with hilarious fish out of water consequences. IIRC they based Due South on it.

Kojak is long overdue a reboot. I was going to post this when I saw that Telly Savalas did Aberdeen too.

Straw poll: Who’d play Kojak in a remake?

These young people….

Colleague of mine…I lost my fountain pen. She was like “a wut?”. Never heard of a fountain pen. Mind you, same colleague announced to the office that “I’ve just eaten an orange!” she’d never had one before. 23 years old. Barely lived. Oh, same colleague – “you’re the same age as my mom, you’re old enough to be my dad!”.

Thanks.

I work with someone who has never bought a CD, never been in a music shop.

And didn’t know what a mix tape was. I don’t think he really knew what a tape was.

I occasionally forget that most outside the NHS and emergency services don’t have a very dark sense of humour. A pun a or retort to unfortunate situation can be met with silence and cold states.

Straw poll: Who’d play Kojak in a remake?

Vin Diesel obviously

Straw poll: Who’d play Kojak in a remake?

Ffs did you not read the OP? Perchypanther obviously. Although I’m sure Harry Hill’s agent is on the case too.

I can’t do it.

I’m already committed to play Ray Reardon in a remake of Pot Black.

duncan goodhew would be good as kojak (er if he originally came from the uk and was transferred to new york.but may be a fish out of water to begin with 😐

Straw poll: Who’d play Kojak in a remake?

Dave Brailsford

Chipps?

Straw poll: Who’d play Kojak in a remake?

How about, oh, I dunno.. let me think… Ving Rhames?

Not A remake, THE remake. The gritty origin myth where we find out the real story with the lollipops

Chipps?

Chipps chomps Chupa Chups?

Or how about – the fabulous T S P C – Telly Savalas Players Club –
