Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

It's annoying that every single occasion I ask for the same thing. I asked my dad when he was around, and I've been asking the OH the 8 years I know him.
I want a piglet. And yet, here I am at the ripe old age I'm at, piglet free. It's in my 5 year plan and everything.

Well, when Christmas and all the markets i over I am planning to work on a book re my childhood as it was so very different from now

Ah c'mon, the B&W Minstrel Show was awful, in every way.

On train with my mother and sister, heading off to da big shmoke for the night. My mother has found another widow, and they are regaling each other with tales of their husbands illnesses and deaths. Somebody let me off before I start hopping my head off the window

Those jerks who have the horses on Stephens green racing up and down the street making them drag carts and lazy people.

I did not watch it as TV was rare and rationed but many, many folk loved it as much as you love your favourite programmes today. Surely you cannot just write off a generations likes! It was a different age simply. Like fashions.. I don't think it was " awful in every way" just because you dont like it. I hate many forms of entertainment - so called ) but know they mean much to many

Post war Britain was a different place. Believe me!

I was not writing off a generations likes. You say you did not watch it? In that case how can you say if it was good or bad? FYI, I very much like a lot of older programs, but a lot of the older programs, much like a lot of modern programs, are rubbish. My point is, even back then, men "blacking up" was IMO a very poor form of entertainment.

Historically it was a Music Hall tradition, like pantomime dames being men and prince being women,
NB I "blacked up" fpr every fancy dress party!

Of course we saw bits as we did the Television Toppers another thing you would doubtless hate. The show with the Television Toppers and the B and W minstrels were after my bedtime but just sometimes if you kept very quiet ......;)

The keyword in your post is IMO! Probably you were not even born then!

And this generation loves????? some very odd and yukky entertainment!

Yes, you are correct. I don't have a clue, but then again I am only twenty two.

I am not really sure where you are coming from, but I suspect you are trying to stir up a little argument. So I am gonna bow at this juncture.

Have a nice day.

Agreed. I remember it well and I remember hating it. Unlike Graces7 it was not after my bedtime so I actually got to see the rubbish it was.

Blacking up was always a dreadful act - regardless of what generation it belonged in. I get TA at people excusing bad taste as being of it's day.

Older adults reactions to not knowing people from a hundred years ago. I had a lady today who was talking about Mary Robinson and her getting her hair done. I thought she was talking about a client who
I was supposed to know, so I explain I don't know Mary Robinson and your ones face fell and asked me how did I not know about the best president the country ever had.

Agreed. I'm in my 70s and I get TA at my fellow oldies who pretend incredulity at young people not knowing someone or something from before their time. They seem to forget that they were young once and knew nothing of many things that predated them. Pay them no mind: they're just trying to sound superior.

Pumpkinseeds · 29-11-2014 09:20PM

I did a lot of Christmas shopping for family, as well as paid esb bill and various other thingsetc this week, using Mr Pumpkinseeds debit card, all fine and dandy until the bank phoned him today to check the 'unusual' spending on the card. Kind of hard to talk my way out of 'I didn't go too mad with the shopping dear' then have the bank call.:o

I have family who do this. It's quite funny though.

Those people whose thinkin seems to be, 'is this a 40mph area or a 30? I'll just go at 20 to be sure' as they drive right past a 40 sign.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 29-11-2014 11:31PM

Having what I think are fits, or maybe the start of a bigger fit, I'm not really sure but I feel terrible so being sick and not understanding it is quite annoying
