Eileen is 52 - I'm 62.
When you have those 60's/70's fancy dress parties - that was US! We haven't always been old. I grew up in the best decade ever - the 60's! We dressed as mods, our music was 'fab' and 'groovy'. We burned our bras and the pill was invented.
We had flower power and 'give peace a chance'. We wanted to ban the bomb and 'make love, not war'.
My point is - don't judge us on age - our generation are legends!
:cool:

And I think you'll find out the 90's was the best decade to grow up in.
Ah yes - but I've lived through both of those decades as well. 90's music was shite, for a start.
This. 90s all day every day!
.......and Henrik - even though I'm older, I still didn't wet my pants at your attempt of humour.
Fairy nuff.
Colostomy bag save you?
I can appreciate other times than the one i love the most. These Houseguests are the ones unfairly using it against Eileen. She can't help her age and from what we've seen she appears to try and get in there and join in with the group the best she can. They're just using any difference they can to make things easy on them, and Simon.. well, i don't even want to know what Simon's deal is.
My niece had to have a colostomy bag at at the age of 36. Hope it never happens to you.
So you would have been born in what 1953 ? so in 1960 you would have been 7 ? and only 14 at the hight of flower power in 1967. Eileen would have been a kid in the 60's so really her generation would have been the 70's not so much flower power but early disco most likely later punk.
I understand your point tho but I would say no matter what generation you are born in it is how you act not your age. Eileen acts young perhaps a bit too much so clothes wise but that is her choice. I would never hold that against her but I think Simons comments on her age where out of order. You should rest easy as everyone on the board seems to agree that to vote her purely on age was wrong. However I dont believe that was the real reason as I post on the other thread on the logic of the voting.
I always explain it like this - we wouldn't be typing on these computers, listening to MP3's, surviving fatal diseases, enjoying so many things that we take for granted, were it not for those who went before us - the things we enjoy now were not created by the young, but those who were young once
In 1962 I was 10 and I was 11 and 12 when I saw the Beatles (twice). I was down the pub at 15,
Thank you - we were all young once.
We also would not have nukes, AIDS, over population, obesity, global warming etc. I guess it is about even if you think about it wait .... Rick Ashley No I think the older generation owe us on that one.
I would imagine that those people who develop an ageist attitude through life will be the very ones who will suffer the most when they are old.
Because those same prejudices would be turned back in on them as they apply the same principles to themselves.
I think Rick ASTLEY was in the 80's?
AIDS came from Africa - never been there. Dunno about nukes. Over population - I only had one child. Yeah - I'm a bit overweight but most obesity is due to McDonalds (80's).
