BTW .. The Timelords are in fact The KLF which - anyone with good music taste will tell you - are not geeky in the slightest .. in fact they are UBER cool. "The White Room" is one of the best albums EVER ..

Quality tune. It seems the majority of us were born late seventies/early eighties and therefore are lumbered with shitey disco music.

I beat you by a few months. I was conceived on the moon landing. Well, not literally on the moon landing, but on the same day.

It has surprised me how many young 'uns are in here. I thought we'd mostly be in our mid thirties same as me, with just a few a decade or so either side of that.

I'm surprised by the "yoof" here too - I was born arse-end of '71 and assumed most people would be similar... ;)

Me too. Surely these whipper snappers are too young to be re-living their youth. They are still in it. Stop making us feel even older!

Freddy Hardest - November 17, 2005 06:33 PM (GMT)
I thank you all for making me appreciate my yoof!!

Cheers, Grandad!!!!
