I think this is Bertie's way of telling us he's long past the point of getting his free bus pass and has now received a telegram from the King.

Happy 100th Bert!

Think you missed a digit out there.

A zero at the end or a 9 at the beginning?

Sporky

Yes.

We all know that people are the same whereever you go
There is good and bad in ev'ryone
We learn to live, when we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive, together alive!

You know you're old when you watch the first episode of One Day and spend just about the entire thing saying to your partner - "that's wrong, the 80s in Edinburgh weren't like that, it's got more of a 90s look to it, and we know that because we were there".

Were you going to post a picture there?  It reads like a caption.

Ah. Not tried the online dating thing...yet. Got to be better than being the creepy old guy in the night club 

Not sure it's quite at the stage when people refuse to talk to each other completely though.

No! That would *really* make me feel old… we looked like children. (We almost were, of course.)

I have no idea what Gogglebox is (deliberate avoidance strategy) but I can spot chemtrails when I see them

Just popped in to add that I watched One Day and also saw the Gogglebox in question. Those two Geordie girls seem incredibly thick to me, pretty sure any opinions they have are similar to those of a toddler.

I remember being at a birthday day party a couple of years ago, beautiful weather, all the adults outside interacting with one another, chatting, drink of choice in hand, talking to people I’d never met before etc. I went inside to get my wife a drink. Six or seven teenagers sat on sofas and chairs, no one talking to one another, the only sound was there fingers on their phones key pads. They were even messaging each other across the room, within touching distance. I truly felt old that day.

Those two on Gogglebox are possibly the thickest individuals I've ever observed, so I wouldn't take their word for anything.

Are they the ones who got Geologist and Gynaecologist confused?

The one who sits on the left as you watch the programme, I seriously wonder how she gets through life some of things she says, unless it is of course down to editing.

As I understand it they have a camera crew in their house for a couple of days ever so often and watch all the tapes (well, whatever it is) and have to react like it’s a real time thing. So, I’m sure they get bored (watching TV shows and being ‘witty’ for two days straight)and start talking any old shit which then gets left in the edit.
