Just saw a reply which was 10 threaded posts long. If you can't reply to a post with a single paragraph you should probably go ahead and make your own instead of crashing someone else's thoughts

Age verification? My parents were born before penicillin was discovered...💀
Age verification? The first time I went on the internet it took an entire day to load 1/8 of a picture of The Simpsons and the pixels loaded in one line at a time. My dad had a black and white TV. I used the radioactive foot x ray machines they used to have in shoe shops.
Age verification? I wrote my first program in Sinclair Basic, and I can remember cigarette vending machines...

I started following American football around 1985 and since 3 of my pals followed the other teams in the AFC East, I opted for the Patriots to add a bit of spice to games. That season the Pats were humped 46-10 by the Bears in the Superbowl. Hopefully better luck tonight #SuperBowl

BLAZING SADDLES was released 52 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great comedies of the 1970s, and among the most popular of director Mel Brooks, the story of how it was made is a cascading waterfall of creative alternatives...

I was in a cafe in the Southside of Glasgow and Peter Mullan was at the next table with his kid. I nodded in a, 'I know who you are but I'm not going to bug you' way and he nodded back in a, 'I know you know who I am so thank you for not bugging me' way
One of my academic colleagues looks a bit like Bob Mortimer. One time near our labs I saw him walking towards me and I warmly said Hey Kevin. It was Bob Mortimer.

Fun low level anecdote: I once sat near Peter Mandelson in a theatre but I had a name blank and said rather too loudly ‘ooh look it’s Michael Portillo!’
