Things That Just Seem To Have Disappeared Or Faded

The Lumiere brothers were but a twinkle in their mother’s eye during my childhood!

Honestly mate I’m so old that when I was a child the Dead Sea was only unwell.

 

Invisible ink.

 

Iceland and B&M are your friends.

 

Based on yesterday’s “1yr from now” pic you have nothing to worry about !

 

I saw your picture (admittedly with the help of AI) and you’re in far better shape than the rest of us!!

 

From memory, wasn’t 3D TVs more an attempt at stopping piracy?

I remember my brother getting one that came with the glasses, watched about 1 minute of Life of Pi, thought that’s cool and forgot about it ever being a thing until now.

Remember Sky sports also tried to push it for the the football in pubs too? That lasted all of 5 minutes.

 

Social media image is still tougher for girls than guys these days. Mrs TuT looks at the same stuff you do and these days <10% of photos that include her are allowed to be shared with friends & family. 100% of mine are. People know what I look like so i don't care if it's a good or bad photo of me but I appreciate it's very different for women. I also notice that when I do post a pic that includes Mrs TuT, all her tagged friends seem to feel obliged to "like it" as though giving support. Any selfies of my women friends on facebook are always met with comments of "Beautiful" etc from women friends. Feels very sad that women need this reassurance. I know you weren't fishing for compliments but if that pic was really you plus one year then you look stunning and shouldn't worry about getting the odd wrinkle. We all get older and so look older every year. We've always known that was the deal, and it's better than the alternative ! Ultimately is personality and the ability to smile and laugh that makes for an attractive person rather than a social media image.

 

A bit late to the party , so apologies, but was it ever thus ?
"Old wives tales" by Arnold Bennett written early 19th century touches on this subject with its content .

 

I used to love Rolos not seen them for a while though
Bounties were the devil's sweet.

 

I seem to like anything that makes me fat.
Anyways my Mum used to make chocolate and coconut cookies they tasted exactly like Bounties but could be dipped in tea. They were soon good.

 

Ufo sightings

Also Loch ness monster, big foot, yeti chatter. Used to be regular news when I was a kid.

 

Disposable camera's
Travellers Cheques
BBC Sportsnight

 

Mrs Willis used to swim in Loch Ness when she was young (madness). She’s fond of saying the monster hasn’t been spotted since she left…

 

My daughter has just gone to PGL (school residential) and wasn't allowed to take a phone or digital camera so we've bought her a disposable. The concept of winding it on and the fact that you take a **** photo - that's what you end up with have been drilled into her.

Not a TC but I had to write a cheque yesterday for DVLA.

 

Likewise, I used to hike through the Himlayas.

 

She scared it off ?

 

Gerard Deulofeu.
Sadly not Troy Deeney.

 

High school movies based on Shakespeare plays.

 

Terrorists who had the courtesy to ring ahead when they’d planted a bomb .

 

Hairspray

 

Comb overs have been replaced by shaven heads for the follicly challenged

 

Brown nylon suits

 

Faded white and baggy Y fronts with skid marks in

 

Sound of failing starter motors in frost mornings and getting rid of ice with hot water from an old fashioned milk bottle

 

Hand written Notes left on the kitchen worktop with people’s whereabouts and or what’s for dinner and how to reheat it

 

Free samples in supermarkets

 

You would have thought that given, everyone has a camera phone , then these sightings would be more common .

 

Garden gnomes. Or is there just a shortage in my area?

 

They’re always short m8. That’s racist.
