I’m not a dad, but I always take the slightest opportunity of turning the conversation to human cannonballs. Then I say “You never see them any more do you?” People agree, no you don’t. Then I say, with agonising idiotic joy “it’s because you can’t get men of the right calibre.”

In WW2, the British government mobilized to create a global, distributed logistics chain aimed solely at keeping Britain supplied with one resource.
Flagged as a critical war effort, at times it carried a shipping priority higher than munitions.
That resource was Tea. 🧵 /1

My dad, experiencing The Cure on Top Of The Pops for the first time in 1983: "Jesus, if that's The Cure ah widnae like tae huv the disease."
Using this as a start: what are your favorite examples of unconscious/unforced dad-or-mom shade about your musical tastes? Just something said immediately or off the cuff. Spill all your secrets!
I want to say, when I was a kid, shortly after we got cable, we were watching MTV (obviously back when they actually played music videos) and something by Aerosmith was playing.
My father, walking through the room said, "Is that Mick Jagger? No, wait, not ugly enough. Can't be him."

Electric effect (50% were I think), post COVID(?).......who knows. Good to see though.

New clogs have just proved to be surprisingly comfortable and effective footwear for a bit of light gardening and garage pottering.
Who knew? (Apart from several countries of northern Europe of course....🤔😄)
