  • 1973 wasn't that long ago - was it???

    Wow - in 1973 I was doing my 3rd year of High School

    1973 : Long hair
    2007 : Longing for hair

    1973 : Acid rock
    2007 : Acid reflux

    1973 : Moving to Cape Town because it's cool
    2007 : Moving to Cape Town because it's warm

    1973 : Trying to look like Liz Taylor
    2007 : Trying NOT to look like Liz Taylor

    1973 : Seeds and stems
    2007 : Roughage

    1973 : Going to a new, hip joint
    2007 : Receiving a new hip joint

    1973 : Rolling Stones

    1973 : Passing the drivers' test
    2007 : Passing the vision test

    Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things.

    The people who are starting university in September were born in 1989.

    They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.

    Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

    Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

    The CD was introduced before they were born.

    They have always had an answering machine.

    They have always had satellite TV.

    They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

    Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.

    They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.

    They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.

    They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

    Do you feel old yet?

    Next year will be worse, the people starting University will have been born in 1990. This is all making me feel old, which I don't like.

      One good point point about getting older....

      You can stop working...and the boss won't discipline you for it, he'll pay you for it !!

      The down side is that it now takes me all night to do what I used to do all night
      If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

              And then, in mine and Brians case, get arrested!

              I joined the RAF in 1973, my g/f had an abortion and I was driving a Morris 1100. I was 20 yrs old, and prior to going to RAF Swinderby, I had long hair.

              I WANNA GO BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!

                  Is there by any chance that your car was a convertable ?

                  Since you mentioned *long hair* I immediately linked that to *wind flowing trough my hair* well dont you just miss it ? Being young, longhaired, Andy .... Wait....... Sounds like a wild hippie to me...

                    Eh, even now when people point out how long ago the 90s were, I'm usually startled. Has it really been 10 years since I used to see those little J31s darting around SFO? Couldn't be!

                      Yeah, I still have the perception that the 90s was "just a few years go", but then, thinking a bit more, it's almost a decade ago!
