Millions of years old
That's Goldfinch and me - and you too?!
Now to put some things of history straight....
It was in fact Goldfinch and me
Who were the first men on the moon
And yes, there were humans around
At the time of the dinosaurs
Us two were around then, and outlived them
OK - you can be called a dinosaur
Even if you're not millions of years old
As in the sense of - Nope, I won't use e-mail
Or any technology stuff
I'll stay a 'dinosaur'!
Yes, we were there in person us two (and Fido)
Battle of Hastings 1066
The Gunpowder Plot 1605
The USA Independence 1776
Aww, I forgot to invite ya to that party
But there was a condition -
You had to have been there in person in 1776
So only us two turned up. Doh!
Oh, and KP too - that old trout
She must be very old too!
Never seen her without the botox
So I can't tell
Anyway, it would be too terrifying
To see her without it!
Heehee
Now some things that may be 'relics' these days?
A giant sized early mobile phone?
A video recorder?
A stamp for an actual letter?
A fax machine?
Writing a cheque?
Who are these people that use such things still?
What else............?
LOL

Age besets us all Orchi. When I was called mud I realized that I was old as dirt predating dinosaurs. A good write my friend
Thank you SB. lol.
You are most welcome Orchi
Now here's a fun read🕊️🙏
Thank you A. lol.
Orchi, this is brilliant...you and Goldfinch out here rewriting history one dinosaur joke at a time, dodging emails and video recorders like true relics of the ages. Meanwhile Ol' Tomás is losing another lightsaber duel to Obi-Wan with nothing but a knitted sock in hand, so I think we're all relics in our own way. Loved every bit of this, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T. Are Tom's socks and Obi's sabre old relics too?! lol. A shop assistant in a snooty store gave me a strange look when I asked if they still sold video recording tapes. He could have said 'Noooo, and we don't sell loo rolls now either - too 'common'. Of course, us superior humans never use the loo' Doh!
And what about color/colour? We've pinched those 'u's in the UK.
Well done
Thank you F.
Well said Orchi, we have seen it all but it was such a shame when you asked Harold to look up on Hastings beach. LOL
Andy
Thank you Gold. Yes, I never should have said that to Harold. lol.
History is (or should be) the preeminent of the Social Sciences, incorporating as it does, Sociology, Psychology, Geography and so on. Arguments and disputes rage within these sciences, which means that sometimes (and particularly in history) matters can get quite heated.
But I’m getting too old and tired to do this anymore (today at least!) so you get off with a free pass….Bless yer cotton socks…
Thank you D.
Not happy to chat these days are yer? Sure Yer alright? Old age catching up on yer at long last?
Oohh I can't get into heavy arguments - gives me headache! lol. I will only go off on some NS tangent.
Yeh - me too. am able a to confirm tangents seem to be a speciality of yours...
Sir Orchi NS to the rescue - rescue of what? Dunno lol.
