Clue's in the title. Personally, I've taken to watching Q.I. instead of the rat piss on TV.

Err, thanks. Wiser, in a reluctant sort of way I suppose, but even less interested.

Ah, well.

Quite Interesting though. And more so surely than Canuck politics ?

To be frank I still have no clue what you're referring too. I looked at the link and all I found was a bunch of old TV adverts or trailers.

Please be being forgiving to a geriatric poster and be more specific.

The link was forwarded to me as it has snippits of TV nostalgia from childhood years.

Like I said above, I have been watching the programme Q.I. recently on the YouTube in preference to the charms of the current offerings of Canadian televisual feasts.

OK, I think.... Snippets of TV hold little nostalgia for me. I've long ago mastered the art of pondering more serious things while trailers, adverts and other snippets abuse my living space.

Each to his own.

You're 100% wrong there, that was just a shed load of over indulgent hippy-dippy drug inference bollox. Roland, Kevin and Errol were the main men back in the day. A bit of social realism to reflect the harshness of Thatcher's Britain while you were eating Ready Brek.

I liked Thatchers Britain. Or rather, I liked the 80's and the fact that Thatcher was PM didn't impinge on that. You should embrace the nostalgia for your childhood / yoof without the need for defining it or yourself in terms of politics. It's what your nan would want.
