I, too, remember when there were no computers, no forums, virtually no friends. Lugging in pails of coal, outside toilets, no hot water, cars with contact breaker points that only stuck when it was raining.
It is good to look back, but by and large, I would rather be here. I wouldn't like to be starting out on life's journey, though. I'll just sit here, like someone out of Last of the Summer Wine (most likely Compo), and watch the virtual world go by.
With these few words, I will shuffle off for my promised viewing of Top Gear and Eddie Stobart, so cruelly taken from me earlier in the day by the nippy sweetie visitor.
