Genuine question someone asked of me last week.
How...is that possible? I guess there are so many different forms of entertainment now a lot of people don't...read or watch anything other than Great British Bake Off.

When I was in Spain there was a magnificent full Moon and my friend`s wife asked us if that was the same Moon we got back home.

Spark, my niece aged 17 is quite a bright girl and will do well in life, she wants to be a vet. She had absolutely no idea who Winston Churchill was last week.

The other day at lunch we were discussing disputes in the workplace and I brought up the infamous rivalry shared by Gunther von Kluge and Heinz Guderian. They look at me like I was a madman.

That`s worse than not knowing who Hitler was imo, particularly if they were young.

History isn't what it was.

I know people who are well up on historical facts and trivia but are as thick as two planks.

Yeah, 18. And not desperately stupid either.

A few years ago I worked with a woman who must have been born about 1970 - she had never heard of Harold Wilson.

It's a sorry situation when the forum has got to the stage when two teenage girls are referenced on a thread, and nobody has offered to spaff on anything.

When in the US I was asked where I was from. I said England. Their reply: Do they speak English there?

Gadzooks spark, my brother is built like a Sherman tank and was a top amateur boxer, if there was any spaffing going on by anyone on here about his daughter I'd run and hide if I were them.

He was the keyboard player in Sparks. End of thread...

I keep saying 'gadzooks' I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not, probably not.
thebandit, this is a bit of a classic. This Town Ain't Big Enough.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAzESJ62irI&list=RDQAzESJ62irI#t=51 |

I suspect there may have been a few sherman tanks already.

Fantasic news B-B, what a wonderful early Christmas present for you and your family.
 |

By:
I saw your good news last night by the way
|
|
By:
Yes I saw that mate, everyone is drained and it was a complete nightmare dealing with the NHS. The left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing most of the time. I had to keep my cool many times when others would have lost the plot but I'm very level headed and all is good now thankfully.

There's nothing wrong with saying gadzooks if you are wearing pantaloons.

That's a cracker the bandit, nice one.

Congrats BB

I don't own any pantaloons Eeternaloptimist, I'd rather stop saying it than buy those strides. Payne Stewart could get away with it but I'd look fairly ridiculous in Brixton market wearing them.

You're definitely on the suspicious list slippy. Do you wear a monocle? Ever?
|
|
By:
And do you refer to people as rascals?

Very funny!

I use old fashioned language too, but American, you varmints
|
|
By:
American? I think not sir. Old English.

I use my dad's language. Few people ever understand me!

Would someone be so kind as to translate what Tommy has just said?
|
|
By:
Sparky me thinks you're befuddled by the origin of gadzooks.
|
|
By:
Ah yes but, remains old English stayed with the US a lot longer than in England. As, it is claimed, did the accent from Shakespeare's time.
|
|
By:
I think it's origins are quite a bit older than Shakey. It's derived from gad often used to refer in a polite way to the big fella and there are instances of that being used from the 1400's.
