I was just on the Deja-vu thread. It always feels like i'm on there these days
anyhow i was thinking of things that are BIG NEWS and how i enjoy BIG NEWS i suppose due to my detachness to it all. When was the last BIG NEWS?
Tsumani (
) was pretty big. Was it REALLY BIG though? The Twin Towers in 2002 now that was big news i suppose. Princess di's death was big news. As a nation we weeped although i would like it be known that i didn't
Oh no it was more of a big circus to me and i was largely unaffected. Other big news?
I used to like it when the country was snowed under and everything stops. I used to jump out of bed at the joys of having Breakfast Time tv (as apposed to 'pages from ceefax') just hoping that not only hadnt the snow stopped there was even more snow. I would be flipping myself about in raptures at this. I just liked it as i liked to see people's daily routine broken up. It's times like these that sometimes you remember the important things in life. actually im ashamed to admit it but i obvioulsy don't hold anything as being important. Just data on a server as Rene says.
Kings Cross fire was big at the time. I must have missed loads. Shooting of JFK i wasnt about for and i mised the moon landings too. The Cuban Missile crisis must have been mental. Comeing home from work or shool one day to find that the Russians had placed big fcuk off missiles about no length at all from American shores. I bet you it felt like the end of the world. 50's sci-fi and Radiation Man etc. amazing days
