Am I getting old?
 

When I was a boy, this new exiting item of clothing came out called a body warmer. functional and fashionable, great!


About 10 years ago, my wife bought one, except this one wasn't a body warmer, oh no, this one was a Gillet:curse:

2 years ago, my daughter bought one, not a body warmer, still a gillet but this time pronounced 'Jillay' :curse::curse:

Bloody fashion people, invent your own stuff instead of re-naming old shite


Whinge over, happy again now:)

OOPS, pressed the button twice, see there's another thing with ZX81's, they had hammer sensitive buttons so this would never have happened :lol:

Don't worry mate, you are more clued up than me. I don't have the bloody foggiest what you are talking about!

Re: Am I getting old?

So who remembers leg warmers? kids today think they invented them! I remember my Nan knitting me some!:eek: cor can you imagine that nowadays, chav or what!!!

Also had one of those scarves wth the tasslely bits and gold thread though it and a pair of chelsea boots!

Me and me Brov had a real treat when our Dad brought home our first nintendo wee, it was a TV games box, nearly as big as the tV itself and we palyed tennis on it!!!! cant remember what it was called but we thought it was the bees knees!
