This was prompted by a comment from Mrs C about how, when she was buying me a wallet for Xmas, she got exasporated that I wanted an exact duplicate of the one I had (which was in tatters)...and in turn was an exact copy of the one I had prior to that...


In a rare reflective moment she has got a point...

Other things she has said along the same tracks and to back her case up that I'm regressing and using the 70's venacular too much...

--at the zoo the other day...'Do you have to do animal voices like Johnny Morris used to on Animal Magic every time you see an animal?'
(I said back in the voice that Johnny used for slow moving animals like tortoises 'We are little bit tired today. Yes. A little bit tired'
Didn't go down well.

--when messing about with the kids I had my 6 year old pinned down with a (pretty deft) arm lock and spin and kept saying to the Mrs who was sat reading her paper 'Ask him ref, ask him now ref, go on ask 'im'.
World of Sport Saturday afternoon 4pm.


Happening to anyone else this?

80's music rules and always will - that's a fact.
 
Not old enough to show 70's characteristics but I'm currently wearing some footwear approx. 10 years old and an adidas t shirt that belongs in the 80's.
 
I also haven't taken to facebook or twitter and talk to people in work instead of emailing them which suggests I've got potential to become stuck in the 80's and 90's for a considerable time.

70's was the best, just simply bonkers, Llanelli was bonkers as well,, great it was mun.
In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty"

Addidas or Puma trainers

Fred Perry shirts and Jumpers

Farrah slacks

The only thing that fit now are the trainers.

Any one who left school between the late 60's early 70's will remember.

Have to say it again but Llanelli was brilliant in the 70's completely insane. ...So many crazy nutty places.

Like most people who have left their home village,I think time adds enchantment...and also you think when you go back 20 years later nothing will have changed, the same guy is sat at the same bar stool, the daffs are growing in the church yard, someone is taking a sheep for a walk on a lead.

Last time I went back home and walked in to the local the guy on the bar stool said...'MUST be you're round by now surely'.

Emlyn is like that place in Twin Peaks
...I blame all this on my upbringing.
