Certain practices from 1981 are just as valid and as resilient today.  Like keeping the phone book next to the phone for quick reference, as opposed to looking all over the place for 5 minutes, wondering where I put my cellphone.  :lol:

I'd have more respect if you still used a rotary dial phone.

I got rid of an old rotary dial phone just a couple of years ago. It was in the cellar, not used much. It really seemed like quite a throwback though, compared to the other phones in the house.

Surely he couldn't have been serious.

I own two, and don't call me Shirley, either.

You own them, but do you use them?

You know damned well I live with my parents and everything is in storage, you insensitive cocksucker.

I know that.  Just kind of surprised there's nowhere to plug in your phone.

I'm not that keen on Green issue marches, after all what might be the carbon footprint from going to the event; a surprisingly large number will drive to it.

Generally better to stay at home and do something practical instead.

I don't think so.  It just drives me nuts when they go out and protest nuke plants and wind farms and all that.  Um the alternative is burn coal.  Environmentalists are not great allies to those of us who devote our lives to sustainable energy, which I find frustrating.
I think this may be another part of the American left being so much more annoying than the rest of the world's (see privilege, vaccination dodgers and trigger warning). In the UK all environmentalists love wind farms and most have become pro-nuclear.

This is wrong, if going by the 3 out of each 4 green party people I spoke with the other weekend.

Oh and fracking is BigOil/Mordor's Nine abroad again.

The Green Party are too invested, but even then my friends who are in the green movement (if not party) have all shifted on nuclear because of fracking and the fact that we're not running out of oil anymore. But George Monbiot for example had a very big nuclear conversion recently and lots take his word very seriously.
