DieselDaisy Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Len's point, a fair one, was yes that swinging sixties woodstock stuff looks great but for the mass majority the '60s was more Cathy Come Home than flowers in the hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson87 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) I'll immerse myself in nostalgia every now and again. I was listening to the Top 40 stuff (pop music) from about 2010-2012 and I'll venture back there sometimes and re-live my middle school years for a few minutes. In retrospect, that music was cheesy as fuck but I had a lot of good times connected to it. Mainstreet by Bob Seger is another nostalgic song for me.

appetite4illusions Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I think nostalgia goes far beyond taste. It's taste tied into emotional memory. The way you can hear something, smell something, see something and experience a piece of it many years later. Like being dropped back into a particular current of water, if only for a moment and knowing just where you were then and are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I am not very nostalgic. Partly because I don't really remember much from my childhood, and partly because I don't think it is in my nature to glance back. I am hoping I am busy now creating stuff I can be nostalgic about when I am old and have nothing better to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori72 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) I’ve always been nostalgic. Even when I was in my teens. Edited May 23, 2018 by Tori72 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I havent but I want to. Theres plenty of other clips from beyond episode 2 that I really enjoyed. It is weird though to have to pay for TY which is probably why Im dragging my feet.

This forum has always been mostly male here. Most of the really loyal guy friends I’ve had in adulthood I met here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 At least we are spreading British colloquial to others. Doesn't it install you with patriotic pride when you see an American say ''wanker'? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the British. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've thought it was others - the usual culprits - who were guilty of ''Britishing'' things up? I have been frequently derided in their book as a ''sushi eating ponce''.

Could be, maybe I've been misinterpreting your posts because I don't understand half of what you're saying, they read like some 18th century British novel. You come off like some nationalist, though.

I don't like Premiership football either. Dazey doesn't like me because I do not think the cultural high water mark of world cinema is the 1987 film, viz., Predator. 1 minute ago, EvanG said: Could be, maybe I've been misinterpreting your posts because I don't understand half of what you're saying, they read like some 18th century British novel.

It is a pity you didn't say 18th century non-fiction. It would be hard to read the entirety of Gibbon without him making an impression on your language in some way. I think I'd make a piss poor nationalist personally. I'm not into the EU if that is what you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize that there are a lot of non-native English speakers on here? Although I bet even native English speakers are scratching their heads often while reading some of the words you use. You clearly have a lot of British pride however with all the trivia about it you spill on here, right? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but then we're heading back to my original post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 You'd struggle to find somebody less patriotic than me during the FIFA World Cup at a time when the rest of the country is bedecked in St George's flags and replica shirts; I basically just use the World Cup to take the piss.

Come on, he's funny and smart, even with all that British pride that sounds a bit abrasive. I like him, he doesn't like me, but I don't mind I am non-native English speaker but I've been studying the language for decades. His posts are sometimes challenging for someone like me but I love the challenge, as it gives me a chance to improve my English, learn new words and expressions. It is cool to have someone different posting like a sir from the 18th century, lol. Isn't it special? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
