Just for the record...

I have felt old today. When I was in class I was chatting to one pupil and I just happened to mention that when I was at school we didnt really have computers. The look of horror crossed her face and asked very seriously, "How did you use MSN messenger?".... ahh bless.
And the discussion went to birthday presents and some were saying the things they wanted. So I said...
"When I was your age what I really wanted was a record player."
The same girl again looked puzzled.
"A What?" She asked. It was at that point a lay my head in my hands and said "Oh you make me feel so old"
"Is that one of the ones with the needles?"
"Yes!" I had a glimmer of hope
"With the huge trumpet thing"
U-(
"No that was a gramophone and I'm not that old!"
I then had to describe what a record was.
Still I did say that when they are older and have kids, they won't know what an iPod was!

I organised a World Cup draw at work today, as my futy as self apponted morale officer (Just like Rimmer). I drew Poland! I am sure they will win.....er.....maybe.

When I got home my OH, who has had a day off, was dancing in the living room to Massive Attack, Teardrop. So we had a little dance together. Then i said I had an old record that she might like. So I whipped out my dusty twelve inches (OO0er missus.) and played it for her. It's a track called Kiss Like Ether by Claudia Brucken. Brilliant song.
