Certainly interesting. I find it funny that the late 70's early 80's became such a void in our consciousness of bygone fashion.

HAHA.

Hold up does that condom machine have the name, Aspro on it?😨

Shooey has your account been hacked? You've started to talk like a spam bot.

He is wearing a very confusing suit during the show, a suit that omits the suit jacket in favour of what looks like a drizzler.

I would say when I grew up in the 80s there was a psyche that I tried to carry through with me instilled not just by my parents and grand parents but society as a whole.

Treat women with respect, dont cheat in football, dont be a twat or a show off, be humble dont think yourself above others. Everyone also had to take a joke.

Im not saying that made things better but it was less about the things it is now, ie money, being better through consumption . And why? Well America's political and social influence cuanged the face of the UK with Thatcher and it never came back. People say about Islam changing the face of Britain well America has done it effectively for the last 30 years with neo-liberalism and now we have corporate consumerisim having a global face that takes away from the culture of the country its applied to

I mean the attitude of people Hep, people from my grandads and near enough me dads generation had jobs for life. My grandad definitely, and with that, even though the money wasnt great they had security. That changed and with it people became over time to the point we have now more competitive over less. It was a vlever twist to do to the proles but they did it , they even managed to take away most vice in the same time

Exactly!

I am sorry, but being a Puerto Rican living in the US I love upward mobility and the fact that the Department Chairman's son has no leg up on me as far as getting new patients. When jobs are static and positions secure your best bet is toadying up to those in positions of power and influence in the hopes of getting the choicest table scraps. Sorry, me no likee.
As far as the UK, early in my training I served as a Senior Registrar at the Royal Marsden for a year. I was a great choice for them as a locum tenem place holder until they could find somebody from "the right background"- i.e. English and preferably from one of the choice hospitals (St. Marks for one). I saw many clueless hopefuls on the short list come in for interviews not suspecting the game was rigged. Yes, it's great when everybody is safe and secure in their job and stays put and doesn't raise his/her voice. No thanks, I'll take crass modernity any day, at least I can make my own way and create a favorable environment around me. I don't want anybody to offer me a place. Least of all somebody who himself was handed a cush position.
