What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?
Quite old chap. "As any fool know", those who aspire to be heroes must drink brandy. :)- Dragon Soldier

What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?
Anyone who drinks beer to be macho has a problem, whether it has raspberries added or not. Kriek at least was around in the 17th Century (and quite possibly before) so hardly a modern invention.- Dragon Soldier

Peaky Blinders
Haven't seen any of it yet, as I've taken to waiting until a few eps of a series are "out there" and watching them end to end of an evening. However, I remember reading an article in one of the Sundays quite some time ago when this series was being shot and it stated that there were aspects...- Dragon Soldier

What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?
Oh I dunno... Battleship Potemkin was banned for long enough in the UK, Clockwork Orange disappeared for a couple of decades and Visions Of Ecstasy was rather famously banned for being "blasphemous". So it can certainly happen.- Dragon Soldier

Let's talk Irish Whiskey....
Must grab a copy of my local's whiskey list... There are about a hundred in all, some of which are more than £100 a shot, some they won't sell you at all, at least, not over the bar.- Dragon Soldier

Vintage Lifestyle VS Re-Enacting VS Cosplay
Always thought that Earth Abides took things back too far, as do many other post-apocalyptic tales. If civilisation ends now *clicks fingers*, you find your small group and start your new community. What skill sets are you likely to have there, and how would they develop/digress? As an...- Dragon Soldier

Are You Brave Enough to Share Your Prom Photos?
NI was prom-less in my day (although I believe it happens now). Anyway, there are very few photos of me from that era as I preferred (as I still do) to be behind the camera. However, this was me at about 18/19 with the then Mrs. DS.- Dragon Soldier

What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?
The Irish airline, Aer Lingus, admitted several years ago that it was actually impossible to speak to a human being through their 'phone system. There simply was no means to be answered by a person. Recorded messages deemed worthy would get a ring back. By the same token, if you 'phone a...- Dragon Soldier

Presumably at a premium? Otherwise I'm at a loss to see why the western defence industry in particular doesn't buy, at least "allied" components.- Dragon Soldier

Failures in a Modern World
Could be true, I've no experience of working Stateside to compare. I did have a chum staying locally for a while though, fellow from North Carolina, who I once called a Yank. Seeing as it was North Carolina I thought that would be okay, some mistakes you only make once. :) He almost starved...- Dragon Soldier
