    You see a post about the Museum’s Flickr account and you have no idea what one is. 
    You also don’t care what it is because you’re sick of being overtaken by technology and all the bollox that go with it.

    When you go to mention that Robert Redford has died and realise none of your colleagues around you would know who he is

    You are made to walk in a circle in the wrong direction, when a quick walk under the railway bridge gets you to your car.

    Singing Blur’s song Tender at Karaoke thinking it’s a modern song to a younger audience and they’ve not heard the song before.

    … You start to miss being in league one where you had empty seats all around you to spread out in and no queues for a pint

    One of my friends had that as the first dance at their wedding. It's their silver wedding anniversary next year.

    That’s a regular excuse for not knowing a subject on that programme and others. It’s just an excuse for being a bit ignorant or maybe a touch of brain fog. 
    I wasn’t around, like most of us, for the Roman Empire but if that subject came up I would expect to be able to answer most questions, they do tend to make the questions answerable. 
    Wrong thread but what really annoys me about that particular programme is the contestants praise and encouragement they give each other. I’d be well annoyed if someone got half a dozen of coins over that I had set up.

    I remember the Roman Empire at least you had decent roads and the trash carts knew where to stop.

    We’ve got a new apprentice, talking to him the other day he told me he afraid of sharks, a bit of a random thought maybe. I told him he was ok living around this part of the world and in fact statistically he probably safe in most parts of the world. 
    He then said ,”have you seen that old film about a shark, I know it’s really old but it’s apparently a classic. My mum told me it came out before she was born but is really good. I can’t remember the name of it, it’s really old. It’s about 50 years old but still good for its time. 
    Obviously Jaws. I not only have to teach this young man all I know, which should take me up to tea break, I now think I’ll have to educate him on tact and how to not make people feel they are one foot near the grave.
