CD's, 33rpm vinyl, all that modern junk?? Blimey mate, I remember when all you could get was wind-up gramophones that played big heavy 78 rpm records - just one song per side - after which you had to change the steel needle and wind the machine up again.
Started early, learning the technicalities of radio - all valve stuff in those days (tubes, to you folks on the left-hand side of the pond).
First time I saw a transistor, I couldn't believe it.
Spent most of my working life as a radio comms tech.
Now look what you young folks have gone and done with it all!
Sorry, it's the grey hair and wrinkles that make me write all this stuff.......
Well - I'm 67, and still looking for "Miss Right".
Not found her yet, maybe never will, and probably not looking hard enough nowdays. Found a few "Ms Wrongs", though, and moved on.
If it happened at this age, it would be wonderful. Not holding my breath, it's not happened so far in life, but you never know!
In the meantime, I'm enjoying life as I can, and know that even though the outside wrapping might be getting a bit shabby, I'm still the young bloke I ever was inside! (That's what I keep telling myself anyway).
We older ones have so much knowledge and experience to share if we choose to do so.
