Finally watched the new 'star wars' movie now that it's available for rent on ppv. Visually spectactular but otherwise not sure what the fuss was about. It was okay.

I used to listen to metal all the time in the 80's. Wore out my record player. Now the only CD i play in my car is nature sounds. (and bf port podcasts)

Dropped my phone this morning. Not broke, but the colours and display is pretty ******. Bugger.

I may have to look at upgrading the old Nokia to a new fangled instachat thing

Your children will ask you about Zeppelin, even DC.

Don't make stupid quotes about music just to go fishing.

I'll take the bait.
And if their children are really smart they'll ask their parents about all the old American blues artists Led Zeppelin pilfered.

I keep lots of things in my phone, I just don't rely on putting numbers in it. I know about half a dozen of the most important phone numbers to me.

Researching now, apparently Microsoft completely bought out Nokia's mobile division. Alas, a nokia mobile is no longer a thing. That would be like if Nintendo stopped making video games (not that I've played one since N64).

I see you as someone who'd carry one of these around......just to fit in with your 70's schtik.

To me you're just another Gen-Y dude who wishes he was born 25 years earlier.
I think this sometimes but wouldn't do it, I'd miss out on two out of my greatest loves. Port Adelaide in the AFL, and video games. Without the exposure of a national competition, I'd be supporting St Kilda! And As much as I enjoy the vintage game from time to time playing platformers almost exclusively until 3D graphics came around probably would've drove me mad and I would have given up on it. Also making amateur movies would have been waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more effort than it was worth in 1987. So that's three. Sacrifice those things just so I could listen to the same music, watch the same movies, and have the same car I have anyway? Yeah, nah.

Post script: Female grooming. 'Nuff said.

Using generational arguments to date people with particular interests in media is lame anyway. Liking Little Richie doesn't mean someone belongs in the 1950s. Being a chauvinistic racist homophobe however does.

I pictured a white kid called Richie Rich playing blues on the pianer when I read that.

I'm assuming you mean Little Richard?
