question from Young Sodding Bastard

Why aren’t you paying me any mind anymore? You old, sodding bastard!

As people get older, they start to stop being interested in those of young people. Interests such as modern music, fashion, computer games become all too exciting, and they retreat into Radio 2, gardening and moaning about the young people today, and how everything was so much nicer in their day. When, of course, it wasn’t.
In a similar way, the same has happened to me. I used to know how to relate, but now I’m too old to truly understand. Leave me now, I must watch The Golden Girls.

This question was asked on 11 November 1999 and answered at an unknown time.
