The middle aged thread

I don't remember really needing to use the telephone much though.

I remember calling talking clock. And that's all really. It was around 1982.
We had a phone since 1972 in our home, but it wasn't connected (long waiting list as always in communist Poland).

It wasn't much difference in the UK, when BT was part of the GPO.

As I was in a music school back then, I remember this fella - first time ever someone playing Chopin and not wearing a tailcoat.

Just fled from the Richmond park 3 lap challenge thread as any less than an hour and a quarter without coughing up a lung would be a triumph. Right back in my comfort zone here.

no hipsters allowed in here yet it's crawling with iconographic items that they would kill for.
if you were a hipster sitting in a hoxton coffee bar just imagine if next to you a macbook air gets pulled out from a massive courier bag but you 'top trump'™ them by producing a rubics cube or simple simon.

that's maximum points.

Not scarier than TerraHawks tho!
