Even if you are not intrested in biscuits nad k80's TV listen anyway.... the last time I can remember talking about things like this a lot (though some people would say I do it all the time) was when I first came to University. And my friends also did a lot of it before we left University. Okay here comes the wanky bit... I think this happens amongst any group of people than need to reaffirm the fact that they have the same cultural roots and past... We talk about these things not really to remeber them but just to confirm that other people remember them. So when We are about to leave or have just entered a social group we to it a lot to reafrirm or create links. Its a relief to know people think like that/ watched that programme...Since *we* dont have my much face to face contact we do it too... The weird thing is that in the nineties the cultural of childrens TV and stuff is a repeated one. Those cartoons weren't new when we watched them. We weren't first to eat those bars. So this kind of talk now can break down generation gaps too. And this stuff is still being repeated. Basically this is a kind of conversational pop music. It provides the same thrill of community and shared discovery. It unites poeple in the smae way... The Hanah-Barbera theory of Infinitly Self Perpetuating Cultural Hegemony (hemogeny?) Explains All.... If you made it this far thanks. If you skipped down to this bit read the rest. Its more interseting than my usual stuff I think. love neil H ------------------------------------------------- " despite myself at times well i have felt not in the mood for any of this..." ------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
