…Microsoft XL maxes out at 65k rows and anyone in their right mind would choose Access or SQL as a database over this for anything important...…like say...…pandemic statistics.

Lotus Symphony...that is all

......when you had a "Wash down" standing in front of the fire on a sunday night......i can assure you...it's worse than a blanket bath.

When you realise that all of your winter coats were brought in

When "Parka" snorkel coats were cool to wear fully done up.

[steve brum]

your an adult in one of the POA videos. Note the word adult not grown up!

 

[Jay Walker]

you look at the price per litre for fuel

And can remember being shocked when the price of a gallon reached that amount

When you refer to your knees as the good one or the bad one.

Or the 'better' and 'worse' ones

...you try to "double declutch" whilst driving a car...just to see if you can still do it.

That's if you ever could, of course. I never really mastered it

One or more, in my case. In the Harold Wood one, I may have a finger bandaged up, after cutting it on some plastic strapping tape tied to the rear shutter of a rental van

Some of my own offerings;

You remember, or learned to drive in, cars with actual 'wing' mirrors

You remember the highly-publicised launch of a car which is now in the 'don't see many of those' or 'a family elder had one' category

You learnt your pinball skills on late electro-mechanical and early solid-state games, using Shilling/5 pence coins to start up the former type

 

[Andy Hancock]

When you say to someone who works with you who you didn’t think was that much younger than you
‘It was just after the Falklands’
and she says
‘The what?’

 

[M4carp]

you can remember the “ No heavy petting ” sign at the swimming pool!!!

You go out playing dads vs boys on a sunday morning and leave two lungs on the pitch. And thats 5 min after kick off.
