The other day...

Miss M: "This is a voice recorder!"
Me [looks up]: "It's a walkman."
Impish Girl: "What's a walkman?"
Me: *feels about a million years old*

ETA: After I wrote this entry, I [randomly] went to look up Right Said Fred on youtube...

*cue waves of nostalgia*

Still remember sitting up late on a weekend, listening to the official countdown on Longwave Radio 252 (already indoctrinating myself with English culture - and was there ever anything gayer than that band?), to find out if Deeply Dippy was still Number 1. I think it held the spot for... 4 weeks? And oh, 'I'm Too Sexy' was EVERYWHERE, and one of my friends bought their album (it was called 'Up'), and I only much, much later discovered that 'Right Said Fred' was originally a song recorded by Bernard Cribbins. And thus my life is all beautifully circular.

ETA2: OH GOD. Now youtube is giving me links to Ace of Base: All That She Wants. *cries*

Speaking as someone who would not run very fast, or at all, if Honor Blackman took a fancy to me, I heartily agree ;-}

LOL Ray.
