The EADD old farts nostalgia thread!

I text this bloke so much back in 2000 in Australia he rationed me to one text a day, no word of a lie lol the lectures he'd give me on "sending him too many text msgs" I felt like I was in the headmasters office having me legs n arse whipped. Hah.

I do agree though, Shambles, that if you're out to meet people the phone gets a vacation. I went out with me mate clubbing n all she did was take photos of us all night texting her mates on the 'ace time we were having.' Ace? Yea right. Bored as fuck was more appropriate.

Ugh can ye imagine not having mobiles phones now? When i first had me mobile in 2000 i could say i easily sent out 100 txt daily. Didn't everyone? It was such the "in" thing to do, the new way of socialising. Would ye say that internet / mobile phone have killed socialising, the real socialising as we knew it?

I have a love hate relationships with mobile phones :)

I haven't owned a mobile in ages, its very liberating, my time is my own.
 
I own a mobile but almost never have credit on it so mostly only use it as an alarm clock. They are highly addictive things but remarkably painless to live without once you get past the initial separation period. I have no particular objection to phones (aside from when used to ridiculous excess - spending a night out photographing and/or filming the "fun" you would be having if you weren't faffing with a sodding phone all night is another good example, Evey) but I do rather resent the expectation to have a Facebook page. I've known people who seem to take it as a personal affront that I would dare to not have a Facebook page and this couldn't "Friend" them or whatever.

Like. :D

I've seen so many profiles which don't fit the real person. If I'm seeing someone, FB is a big minus.

Twitter is just so pathetic it defies insults.
 
I can't remember how long ago I got rid of my facebook and I haven't missed it one bit. I have signed back in and then deactivated when I needed access to spotify or had get in touch with someone.

I have been so much happier with how I view my life since. It's also great when people ask if I have it, then I get to say no. This means I don't have to reply to the question, ''did you see about so-and-so on FB?''.

They usually tell you anyway.

Yep. My ex (sorry Felix) used to delight in telling me all about the lives of women I was friends with / had been attracted to / was still attracted to. Few of whom she was even on speaking terms with.

Not only must that take up a fuckload of time, but it can't be good for your state of mind.

And those conversations with strangers where instead of exchanging numbers, like a fucking adult, they ask you about FB. You shake your head, and it's as if you've knocked them back.

Not interested.
 
In a way i wish i'd never known the internet. I became addicted to it at the exclusion of all else in 1998. Lost friends the lot n it had a major imoact on me as a person. Ithere are a lot of regrets about the internet as I used to be energetic n loved nature. I ended up consumed in the Internet workd, addicted at the exclusion of all else even eating proper meals.

Technology isn't all posity n roses as it appears.

Yeah, I've seen - been, at times - that person. Only on BL though, really. I just don't see the point of wasting the little free time I have on the minutiae of other people's lives, and all the drama. Fucking snapchat and that shower too.

BL is enough. 'Sammy G' doesn't exist. Thank the Lord. I'd hate to have my life on display. It'd be boring for a start, but aren't they all?

Most of the people who really 'know' me on here have my number anyway. Some of us talk more outside of BL. Well, that's true of one person.
 
Wish I could have tips on being more like you then. Maybe I'd have less drama n picked friends who know the Meaning of loyalty. I think you've a good attitude n way of thinking, Sammy G

Personally discovering chat rooms, forums etc has been the worst mistake of my life.

Anyway back on topic what old films were you all into?

Evey
 
Earliest film I remember seeing was '2001'. Inspired my love of intelligent science fiction (which doesn't include Star Wars BTW - although I enjoyed the original as a kid, the others I've seen have been shite!). Jaws of course - I was scared to have a bath for ages after that one :) Also Grease as I was a budding teddy boy at the time...

Oh, and 'Close Encounters of the 3rd kind' blew my mind - though having seen it recently I have to concede it was a bit shit..

I've never been that fussed about picking 'em myself - not an early riser by nature, nor a fan of trudging round damp fields trying to avoid stroppy farmers with shotguns. I did greatly enjoy growing my own mushies when it became especially easy to do so during that period where some bright spark realised there was a loophole in the law that allowed sale and purchase of fresh shrooms and related matters, I'd like to get back into growing my own cos I do like me a mushy (or few) and did enjoy seeing the lil blighters grow before my very eyes.
