useless Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 What distinguishes this decade from the last culturally. They both seem pretty much the same in comparison to the difference between decades gone. I mean there seemed to be a massive difference between the eighties and nineties and the seventies and sixties and so on, in terms of fashion, music, art, and just the overall feel 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the evelution of technology is the main thing. Gadgets and gizmos. Everyone has a smart phones and tables, cable of so much more that the average home computer from 10 years ago.

useless Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I did wonder about technology, Maybe that's taking up so much of the creativity these days, that it's to the detriment of other areas. But that doesn't really make sense, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we're still in this one we'll only be able to look back and say that it was 'this' or 'that' after the event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 That's true to an extent, but I still think you can make a pretty good comparison. Like someone in 1996 would be acutely aware of the cultural difference between that time and the eighties. Without having to wait until the 00's to notice it. That said there's still another four years left of this decade, maybe something will happen to mark it apart from the last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 29, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 29, 2016 I imagine Justin Bieber will feature prominently in any diagnosis (or post-mortem more like). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I haven't caught up with his latest alb, a lot of people saying that it's actually quite good. But having heard a few songs from it I get the feeling they're in part saying that to be contrary to the more popular opinion of his music. It's probably not as awful as some of his older stuff but still pales in comparison to other pop music out there. In fact there aren't many male pop singers releasing decent stuff at the moment. Maybe because they know they'll get sales regardless, if the image is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted January 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2016 When a team won a prize on "Bullseye", whether it was a sandwich maker, a nest of tables or a tumble dryer, did the team get two of everything or did they have to share the tumble dryer etc? I'm pretty sure they had to share it, but not sure. Yes, that's what I'm doing this Saturday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back then my mum had a friend of a friend who went on the show and won everything including the top prize for potting the black in the last game (was a big fancy holiday). She said that they didn't actually get all the prizes, they just give out a cheque to the value of all the prizes, not the actual prizes... not sure if Bullseye would be the same.

Blimey, hadn't even occurred to me they would do that. You're most likely right then. I did used to watch "Big Break", but mainly for John Virgo's trick shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
