A lot gets said about "sexualisation" of young girls/teenagers, and yet what passes for school "uniforms" in terms of short skirts these days verges on the obscene. If they'd worn stuff like that when i was a lad, i'd have had a permanent boner at school! But the boy looks ... he gets accused of perving on her. It's human nature (but access to porn maybe makes them think they are there for the taking, if only they had a washing machine to fix!).
As said above, i wouldn't want to be growing up in this age.

Me and my missus were planning a holiday this September to Vegas with my mate and his wife to celebrate his 50th. His cousin has now announced she's getting married in fucking Mexico in October, so our plans are scuppered! Selfish bitch!


Why they should just say already arranged something else and we won’t be attending.

They were evident at HoE in the seventies.

cheeky fuckers going for a sly fag right outside my office window so that it now stinks like an ashtray and everyone coming in probably thinks I'm sparking up at my desk

I'm so out of touch with pop music that I wouldn't know. Is Celine Dion still popular with the kids?
My teenage kids didn't even know what "the charts" are/were, they just stream whatever is trendy. So they will never get the thrill of having to wait for Bruno Brookes to tell you if your fave had got to number one. Definitely qualifies as annoying, they make me feel like a right silly old sap when I tell them about the "top 40"

Lobby your office to provide a smoking area then. Number of places that get rid of it in a fit of virtue signalling then whine that the smokers are where they don’t want them.

I'm one of the lucky ones that started drinking around the the time of the smoking ban.

I was a non smoker but anytime I'd go to the pub I'd end up smoking ten or so. Then the ban came in and I couldn't be arsed going outside all the time. If the ban hadn't kicked in I would have took up smoking full time because I could feel the habit forming to the extent that I wanted to smoke during the day.

I do enjoy the occasional cigar and cigarette if I'm out for a proper booze up but when I'm sober I never get the urge.

the vape is never far away from me... changed my life giving up, just waking up after a skinful and just feeling rough as opposed to feeling like I was about to die

Bruno Brookes? Hell's teeth, it was Johnnie Walker in my day who did the lunchtime show on Radio 1. Tuesdays were chart day, and he played the new Top 5 between 12.45 (when Newsbeat ended) and 1.00, when he did the full run-down (with Time is Tight by Booker T and the MGs as the background music), with the new number one at precisely 1 o'clock. I'm sure some of you other old gits will remember this!
Those were the days when you had to BUY a record to get it into the charts rather than just listen to it on the radio!!

Yeah he does sounds of the 70s. Has some pretty good guests to talk to as well. Such a relaxed style. The consummate professional. Used to love his R2 drivetime programme (pre Chris Evans and Simon Mayo)

I may be a bit late in pointing this out, but I'm not sure you fully understood how this worked. Buying a record allowed you to play it at home yourself (on your gramphone). You didn't have to wait until enough other people had bought it so that you could then hear it on the radio.

Thanks for putting me straight, Rich - i must have been labouring under some humungous misapprehension all these years!
