he dressed them up
In October 1961 Leggy Mountbatten, a retail chemist from Bolton, entered their lives... Leggy hated it. He hated their music, he hated their hair, he hated their noise: but he loved their trousers.

But then, I remember when weekends were weekends, and people stayed at home and didn't fuck about DRIVING AROUND AIMLESSLY or even, god forbid, SHOPPING FOR A HOBBY. Beats the shit out of me why everything has to stay open all the time.
There is something deeply appealing about this attitude.
(When he first moved here, my husband was horrified that a shop he went to closed at 2pm on a Saturday. 'What's the point of even opening?' he ranted rhetorically. I was nonplussed. This is what happens to you when you spend the first 30 years of your life able to buy fried chicken, shotgun shells and a 60 inch television from the same giant store at four o'clock on a Tuesday morning. I don't think we need to become that place.)

I was an extremely wimpy child (and I'm quite a pathetic adult too, TBT), so I never got much past the opening credits without being paralysed with fear and having to turn it off. Oh dear.

I am hugely amused that PAS has now witnessed serious usage of the phrase "step to me and front". I never knew this place was so... *down*.

No one seems to have asked the most important question: does Art History Man have a cool costume?

The 'papers are reporting "rumours" that the RWC theme song will be a cover of Jesus Jones' Right Here, Right Now , as performed by the Feelers.

nobody, but nobody, says "Boomer!" anymore
I've heard boomer used in a sort of slang portmanteau: 'boomer, bonza, box of birds!'

That's ... deeply ... something.
Am I the only person who thinks it looks like a sea of rugby-supporting undead?

You could make an argument that The Rock of Love Bus is better than The Wire, I suppose. I mean, it depends fiirst of all on better how, in what specific respects.
Well, OK, I suppose you *could*. Let's say: as a commentary on bandana use in washed-up balding rock stars, Rock of Love Bus is practically peerless.
(It's totally WAY more evil than The Wire, though, so that argument isn't going to fly.)

No, I don't.
OK, so Tiffany is as good as The Beatles. 2 Fast 2 Furious is as good as Raging Bull. 1980s Archie comics are as good as Maus. Everything boils down to 'I like it!' vs 'I don't like it!'
You realise that my whole online life is ruined now, right? :)
