Got to love those dreadful and incomprehensible dialects. All the letters they "received" were later revealed to have been made up by the producers.
Why stop there, I'm cutting off my running water and sewage pipes like the days of old. Fully vintage style livingDon't turn it on? Go old school switch off your electric.
A steaming bowl of *****, for the most partLife is what you make it
Everything down here speaks to me of decay. A lot of houses look like they're ready to give up the ghost. A lot of people don't own their home and couldn't give a crap about its condition (or flat out don't have the money anyhow).I know exactly what you mean.
I dont think it's just screens, I think our society (in the UK anyway) has peaked already.
I'm trying to think of when, to me anyway I reckoned we peaked late 90's/early 2000's.
Definitely since the financial crash of 2008, but I think a bit before this, before the twin towers were hit in New York. Definitely London Bombings.
Before this house prices soared swimming pools stayed open because they weren't yet deemed dangerous (too many expensive to heat) gladiators was on TV (contender ready) and the latest movies at the cinemas were not remakes of 30 year old movies.
One thing I notice about them is how crap they are watching again compared to how awesome I remembered them to be!I like watching older programmes, especially ones from my child hood.
One thing I notice about them is the slow pace.
Speaking as somebody who collects books, that statement is absolute rubbish.
JUST LOL IF YOU SPEND MORE TIME COMPLAINING ABOUT ALL THE SUPPOSED INJUSTICES AND ISSUES WE AS ADULTS FACE INTO EVERY SINGLE DAY RATHER THAN WELCOMING CHANGE INTO YOUR LIFE TO IMPROVE IT IN MEASURABLE WAYS. TAKE SOME OWENRSHIP OF YOUR OWN GOD DAMN SHIP AND BE A CAPTAIN NOT A PASSENGER.
NOOBS.
I often find I begrudge mobile phones. I enjoyed the days of no phones, no social media and everyone sat talking to one another's faces around a table rather than everyone looking down at their screens instead - this happens all the time, even when groups of friends agree to go to the pub together and "socialise". I liked that I wasn't always contactable. Now I think I can't do without my phone, why not though? Maybe one day it wouldn't matter though, the rest of the world are hypnotised by their pocket TV. Now this does make me sound old, but I think it's just true that it has become a sad state of affairs when you sometimes struggle to get someone's attention because they're so wired in.
The Good Old days.
But they were better.Rose tinted glasses mostly. Nothing stopping you doing what you used to (unless you have physical restrictions). Its entirely natural to look back to the past and yearn for the times gone thinking they are better than they potentially were.
I'm 62 and I made sure many years ago that my working day would be 9 to 5 with no overtime so that when I got home at around 5:30 the whole evening would be for me and family.
