I have a few prescription medications that are called different things in the US. I thought it was fairly common knowledge with paracetamol, though. Tylenol being one of the common brands names.

The demoscene was brilliant. People shared them sneakernet-style like games back then too, which speaks volumes for how good demos were. Very fond memories.

Lego will always be cool to me. Without wanting to sound like a cliché, the only limit was your imagination when I was a child, before home computing. Forever grateful for those years.

I almost had an Atari, but ended up with the Amiga back in '88, which I am forever grateful for. I'm not sure that I would say the Atari wasn't ground-breaking, though. Think back to the '90s and you can see how much of an impact the Atari had on the music industry in the UK. It was huge, but specific to one particular area - music.

No, it's a 128. The obvious giveaway being the audio.

But that name. Ugh.

As an '80s kid, swedes/turnips were the norm in my hometown in the UK.

I hadn't heard of privacy.com cards, but that thought had crossed my mind. What is to stop organisations simply banning privacy.com cards?

It would be quite amusing if the final verdict was, amongst other things, "Never mind"

Many? You sure about that? Also, "opinions about sexuality are being presented as fact in contrary to the principles they want to raise their child with". How do you think things like that help? We want a tolerant and inclusive society, thank-you. I know gay Muslims in the UK. Can you imagine what life is like for them?

I take it you saw the photos then?

I can remember when they were the hot thing in fast fashion, but they were pretty much crushed due to the horrendously bad PR. Grim company.

Almost everything is cyclical in fashion. There was a period not long ago when jeans became unfashionable in the UK because they were associated with middle-age dads. People looked towards chinos (not the type you're talking about) as something different - you could get skinny/slim/athletic chinos. We've seen the same with skinny jeans - wider-leg jeans and other trousers now seem to be gaining pace.

If you live in London, you can/could go into the store, buy the trousers (34" length?) and have them tailored within the day (can't remember if there is a charge for it). If you're outside of London (not sure if the Oxford, Manc stores do it), you're out of luck :(
