    2023 Israel - Hamas war

    No. You are absolutely wrong.

    You know you’re getting older when……

    That's another way you know are getting old because you understand the phrases "the village shop" or "the village post office".

    It's probably gathering dust in the back of her writing desk.

    You know you’re getting older when……

    Yes there was a lot of rubbish music about then and I'm comparing a random 3 songs with the previous 50 years. I'm sure NewEra's opus is making some deep point about the human experience that I'm missing but I think I will listen to Rock N' Roll Damnation by AC/DC. Here is NewEra if you want to...

    You know you’re getting older when……

    That's probably true but as an experiment I looked up the current UK Top 40 and played 3 of the songs at random on Youtube. I found nothing that entertained excited or amused me. And it's not just an age thing. There was one by a (band ?) called NewEra called "Birds In The Sky" and it was two...

    If you remember when listening to Radio 2 was usually an indication that you were over 45 and wore a cardigan and slippers.

    What video games do you like playing?

    I play Fallout 76 on PC. The game had a rough launch in November 2018 but most of the bugs have been ironed out and it is famous for its friendly community and how helpful experienced players are to new players. Camp building is a lot of fun.

    New Sunderland Station Building

    I remember the toilets at the old North entrance which was demolished in 1966. It was always said that the North entrance "smelt of fish" for some reason.

    No not comparing her to any "celebrity" just beautiful in her own right, and intelligent.

    You know you’re getting older when……

    When a beautiful young woman comes across to your table in the pub when you are sitting with 2 friends and you realise you cannot ever be more than friends.

    Huddersfield Vintage Posters

    That's amazing. If they can be taken down it would be nice for a heritage railway to have them.

    Supermarkets discussion

    I was in my local Tesco last night at 20.45 and they play music in there over the PA. I was startled to hear them playing the 1979 hit "Chuck E's In Love" by Ricky Lee Jones, which those of you old enough to remember will know features the N word in its lyrics. Sure enough the word came out of...

    Ticket Barrier Blues

    I used to work on the Underground and women would often carry their tickets in bags with powerful magnetic catches on them. Wiped the magnetic strip clean. One woman got furious when I told her this and I explained it was impossible to change the effects of magnetism.

    International borders you've crossed by land

    In 1986 I walked across the border from Gorizia in Italy to Nova Goricia in Yugoslavia. There was an old WW2 style watchtower on the road and I got no hassle from the guards when they stamped my British passport. The railway station in Nova Goricia had an old freight engine on a plinth and a big...

    But these aren't "Dads" they are machines and in maybe 10 years they will have CPUs that will enable them to think. They will effectively be people. You are watching the evolution of a new form of life.
