For some reason I thought you were younger than me. I'll be 26 in two weeks.

I'm 28 and for the first time in my life I feel old

Mr Majeka is better than Harry Potter any day

It feels weird to me thinking that some of the people in here were in primary school when the attacks on the twin towers happened!

All this nostalgic talk is making me think of the all the shitty films I used to drag my Nan too. She took me to see the fucking Phantom Menace, without ever seeing any other Star Wars films because I asked. Think how bad and nonsensical that movie is and then imagine watching it when you don't even know what a Darth Vadar is anyway.

Poor woman. I'm going to buy her some flowers.

That's because he's named Darth Vader :p

It was always my dad who took me to see shitty movies. I'll always remember going to see the 3rd Pokemon movie and having the power fail half way through. I was gutted.

Anybody remember "El Nombre" fairly sure it was a segment during another show.

Anyway, my Español is at the low end of intermediate at very best (try as I might to better myself). Is there a reason why a geezer called "The name" is writting numbers? Or did they literally pick "nombre" because it sounds like number and kids wouldn't know any better?

Never seen that before in my life haha, the fuck is that?!

My nan would have shot herself in the cinema if she knew what she'd let herself in for. She doesn't have a sense of humour either, so her film collection consists of Angela's Ashes, Billy Elliot and Purely Belter for the Geordie connection (but the latter film has the sentence 'great big kick in the cunt' so I doubt she liked it), and a number of Casualty box sets.

The kids I'm coaching were all born after 9/11. It's fucked, they probably don't remember a time before iPhones.

Yeah, I remember coming out of school when that happened and my mum telling me.

I also remember the 7/7 bombings and being in Spanish, and someone theorised it was the French because we'd beat them to hosting the Olympics the previous day.

The teacher just said "don't be a twat."

Would be a typical French thing to do.

I prefer The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. I also have a soft spot for the Wheel of Time series.

But my favourite books are Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky, and Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace.

Will eventually get around to reading The Brothers Karamazov.

I remember getting in the car on 9/11 and my mum saying.

"The second tower just went down"

"What?"

"The twin towers"

"They are knocking down wembley?

Edit: I had just started Year 7.

Oh god I'm starting to get super nostalgic.

I might have to roll out my old Pingu and Little Bear videos before I get too depressed.


On the subject of 9/11 I remember it vividly, we were sent home from school shortly after the second tower was hit. I remember sitting about two feet away from the TV when the first tower fell, my Nan was making pancakes for me in the kitchen as I totally nonchalantly informed her that one of the buildings had collapsed. Crazy to think I had literally no idea what was going on.

I was in Year 7, so 11 years old when 9/11 happened. I feel like I was much older than 11.

Shit, that was half my lifetime ago. Half. Jesus.

Really? We weren't told a thing, or at least my class wasn't. First I heard about it was when I was walking out to meet my mum at her car and a friend from the year above told me, didn't fully grasp what had happened until I got home.

FYI everyone Pat Sharp is a dirty old man now, told the most awkward story when he was DJing here one night. Could've cut the tension with a knife

Yeah, I didn't find out until my mum told me in the supermarket. I was 7 at the time so looking back on it, I probably didn't even understand fully. The 7/7 attacks are clearer in my mind.

I remember coming home from school as a kid and watching this show.

I know it dates back to 1970 but they've been showing it for years on BBC and it was fucking brilliant.

I remember Superted! We always used to watch Wacky Races and Catch The Pigeon as well.

And Father Ted. We watched that from a very young age. I think my dad made us watch it so we'd hate Ireland.

Yessss.

I remember watching a show which used to show you how to write. Some floaty pencil and a black board and letters. What show was that...
Click to expand...

Up down and around and up down and around etc etc

Think it was part of finger mouse

As for 9/11 seeing as I brought it up I was on and induction day for work in Birmingham and all the trains got delayed for some reason, there was really a sense of fear around as nobody knew what was next as the news came through I was on the phone to my mum and relaying the info to people on the train

I remember thinking if I was ever on the show I'd have been fucking ragin' if I was the person who'd only get to do one lap on the go-kart at the end.

Pretty much what he alluded too. Told us of how most people watching the show would've had their first wank over them, but he actually wanked over them. So awkward.
