"You tube" is what Paul Potts would have been called thirty years ago.
'Let Us Snore Now' has long been a staple of football progs in 'Team GB' (as we
now call it) and slightly tarnished as a result (cp. when youngsters of my
generation were played Bach's 'Air On A G String' they immediately imitated
lighting up Panatella cigars).

of isolated individuals" before celebrating their demise.

Gee. (Actually, digital displays don't in my experience contain anything more
than the twenty-four hour clock, people generally not needing to check what
year it is and stuff).

Exhausted from the 19.01-19.12 celebrations of my youth and insanely jealous of
those who had digital displays in this period
