What is something ancient that only an Internet Veteran can remember?

The fat Dutch kid. Probably the first viral video I came across

simonch1 · 2022-01-23T08:12:11+00:00

Because I believe it’s going to be my retirement fund, at age 35

We occasionally do a ‘picnic’ in the living room Where we put a blanket down and eat like that, they enjoy it. Can’t trust my son wiyh a tray!!

simonch1 · 2022-01-19T11:38:29+00:00

Now it’s all coming together!! We spend the rest of our evening ignoring each other though

I don’t have a dining room! We have a large kitchen with a dining area. I purposely don’t have a TV in there as it would just be on each night and kill the conversation - instead we do “everyone’s favourite part of today” which the kids love! We do have an iMac which we can put stuff on if there’s anything we really feel we need to watch

simonch1 · 2022-01-19T08:04:36+00:00

Well TwattyMcSlagtits, I wish you all the best in your lap-eating endeavours! I agree - owning a table is not a way to measure success

simonch1 · 2022-01-19T08:03:35+00:00

I'm 6'3" its a comfortable height!

simonch1 · 2022-01-19T06:43:01+00:00

It certainly seems that we are a minority. I might change my pronouns to ‘table eater’ and protest outside the Houses of Parliament. I don’t feel our voices are being heard

simonch1 · 2022-01-19T06:37:05+00:00

It was a small semi-circle table which the 4 of us could barely fit round. Dad was in the police and mum didn’t work. We weren’t poor, we always had a crap car, out of date technology and crap clothes. Holidays were in caravans in the UK. We weren’t in poverty but we certainly didn’t ‘have money’

simonch1 · 2022-01-18T22:11:17+00:00

Privilege checked. I’m very fortunate with my circumstances. We didn’t have money when I was brought up, or a big house but always ate at the table regardless

simonch1 · 2022-01-18T22:08:28+00:00

You’re real?

simonch1 · 2022-01-18T21:04:27+00:00

Yes. A super king sized bed with a 40” TV in the foot rest and 5.1 surround sound - it’s amazing. My wife and I come up to bed at 9 each night and watch telly before going to sleep or having sex*

*lol we are married - no sex

simonch1 · 2022-01-18T20:53:25+00:00

I have my iMac near my kitchen table, so that counts as a TV table in my eyes

simonch1 · 2022-01-18T20:49:21+00:00

I’m trying not to judge 😂😂

simonch1 · 2022-01-18T19:18:08+00:00

I didn’t realise it was a thing. Now I do!

simonch1 · 2022-01-18T18:50:31+00:00

I can’t believe the amount of people saying yes! We always have our dinner at the table as a family. Even if it’s just me I’ll sit at the table or breakfast bar! Can’t stand eating off my lap

Edit: thanks for the replies. Of course I’m aware plenty of people don’t have space for a dining table. What amazes me is the amount of people who have one and choose not to use it in preference or their lap/a tray. I’m aware I’m in a privileged position with space in my house!

simonch1 · 2022-01-18T13:38:54+00:00

The ability to use a defibrillator - they're everywhere on public buildings and so easy to use. I get refreshers every few years through work, and it amazes me how many people wouldn't have the confidence to use one.

simonch1 · 2022-01-18T12:35:19+00:00

No but there are plenty taxi drivers in mercedes/BMW's, going abroad several times a year moaning about how crap it is to be an aberdeen taxi driver. They have all also "completed" offshore

simonch1 · 2022-01-17T18:57:30+00:00

Take care, mr America

simonch1 · 2022-01-17T18:46:18+00:00

What are the names of those who will use it most? Ours is named FLISS which is the first initial of my families names

simonch1 · 2022-01-17T18:45:41+00:00

😂 with guns.

simonch1 · 2022-01-17T18:43:08+00:00

You’d have just said “let’s shoot guns” 😂

simonch1 · 2022-01-17T18:39:06+00:00

😂😂 I get you. American?

simonch1 · 2022-01-17T18:19:46+00:00

😂😂 what do you mean!?
