^ At thirty-two ?  You gotta be kidding me!  Isn't this a place for people on the wrong side of thirty as well?  I hope I have more in common with you than with teens (girlfriend, daughter, work, life,etc...).

Aaaaaaaaaaah, Vr rubbing off. Oh well...........My oldest daughter just began a new school. Our system is different then yours. It is much more serious now, new subjects like French and Arithmatics. She is getting there. A question, when do you use then and than?

hmmmmmmmmm.......not too much so, constructive topics mostly welcome!

LP's were £1 /17shillings and sixpence (37/6d), about £1.75 to buy new.

The TV rota was strictly controlled by Dad in my house - any arguments it went off!

Welcome to The Grey Room - for those members who are the wrong side of forty (or thirty for that matter!) here's a place you can discuss gigs from long ago, the price of hair restorer, how lucky the kids are today - are they spoilt brats? Have they never had it so good? Did we have more freedom in the sixties/seventies (eighties) ? Look at the lighter side of maturity - not strictly to have a moan like grumpy old men, unless Rick W. decides to pop in and have a grouse!!  Did we have things better when we were teenagers? Has nothing really changed? Are you chuffed that your favourite classic Rock and Prog is still being found and appreciated by new generations, and new bands creating new music and following a strong tradition? Did you dig your Dad's record collection - i never liked my Dad's music - Glenn Miller and The Sound of Music, i was a rebel, i wanted something they hated - Prog!! I find it amazing that todays young people are into music their parents liked, things have certainly changed. Do you like the world we're in today - did girls look better in frocks? Did you recently buy a motorbike and are reliving your adolescence? Do you believe in the Mid-life Crisis? Are we eating chemically infused rubbish? Did Grandad's tomatoes taste better? How did we manage without computers, mobile phones and digital TV with all those channels - was TV better  when there were just three? Where is Rock heading in the future - will it change completely or continue to go round and round in circles?
