Oh good god that was a terrible place to put the brackets.

Funny you should say that -

The Germans did not like Lizzie II.

Eh. I group things in decades so I was kind of right (it’s less than 20) :)

Dara O’Briain did a sketch about all this from a show that I think is maybe 10 years old? But it’s all about attitudes changing and people needing to catch up.

It’s Dara, so – you know – swearing :)

I’m thinking it’s just a matter of time…

I’d have thought it would be obvious - no guy would make another guy smooth down there.

Sounds funnier than the latter series of Friends :)

I’ll give you that “Phoenix” but re-read “Deathly Hallows” – he uses it and he uses it to damn good effect.

Oh I don’t know.

If you eat someone’s brains you get a snack as well as a memory.

Except when he used Crucio.

Twice.

I don’t ever remember my school having a science fair. (From the UK).

Not once. I’ve seen enough on TV shows to get the idea but… yeah. We have a very different approach to education. No science fairs, and I am pretty sure no job fairs either? We occasionally had people come in to talk to us (Fire Brigade, two Soldiers, two nurses) but I think that was more about the teachers just wanting a morning off from teaching than thinking we should do a specific job. And no “bring your parent to school” day or “what does your parent do” day.

The UK is very different to the US I am guessing?

Atari 2600 ET?

Yeah. Not the best game ever made :)

Look behind you! A three-headed monkey!!

Elite was the first “proper” video game I played on a computer. Before that it was all games in the arcade, and on the Atari 2600.

Also (from a certain point of view) the first RPG I played (excluding D&D obviously – I’m not an animal!).

Civ 1. So many happy memories.

• Elite (Spectrum),
• Gauntlet (arcade then Spectrum),
• Dragon’s Lair (arcade),
• Star Wars (arcade),
• The Hobbit (Spectrum)

with a bonus mention for “The Empire Strikes Back” on Atari 2600.

So yeah – all these games people played as “teenagers” are games I started playing last year, relatively speaking :)

You really aren’t.

The first one on my list was a game in the arcade, then a game on the Atari 2600 :)

Yeah… I’m going to steal this for the next fanfic. (I’ll credit the tumblr user)

I will remember that – thank you :)
