When I go into a care home I want my loved ones to find me dancing to some TTF and Bits and Pieces (Scots know what I’m on about). Not bastarding Daisy Daisy

My mum who was in a home died about 18 years ago and her era of music was Bill Haley, Elvis etc and they would play my old man said follow the van, or Burlington Bertie
Seems like once you reach a certain age you just become all the same age. No one alive today was alive when those tunes came out and neither was my mum and she is long gone.
if your home does this, then just stop.
I still have my Gran’s Spotify playlist saved and there are some great tunes in there!I am in my 60s and love Motown, UB40, 60s,70s etc and many other types of music but my fav is Dark garage. I'm going to make sure I take a ton of saved music with me and at their parties, I will have earbuds in and dance to my won tunes
That's what they played in my mums home they thought it was her era but it was her mum and gran's era, not hers.My mum used to work in an old people’s homes and they’d play Vera Lynn, Gracie Fields, George Formby etc because that was ‘their era’, but like you say not all old people like the same things. My own grandmother loved Michael Ball and Russell Watson and would have much preferred listening to them.
I find it really odd that so many are always talking about sex. My sexual taste back in the day was fairly dark and adventurous but no one other than my partners knew that. Not even my best mates but then I always preferred action to talk.i am often shocked at the conversations people have in public seemingly without realising other people are listening. i was on the bus the other day and a woman was having a conversation with her bank revealing lots of personal data which in sure in the wrong hands could be very dangerous
Can't wait for my generation to be singing along to Craig David in the care homesThat's what they played in my mums home they thought it was her era but it was her mum and gran's era, not hers.
My era is the 70s but you know damn well that isn't what they will play if I go into one, they will still be playing old music hall and war songs. I know we all have our own tastes and they cannot cater to everyone's tastes but they should at least get the era right.
I want T-rex, Queen, Black Sabbath, Sweet and yes (god damn him to hell) Gary Glitter
I do love how your first sentence then follows with you talking about sex, mate I'm eating me cornflakes I don't need to see thisI find it really odd that so many are always talking about sex.

My grandchildren are amazed I know the words of so many of their tunes.I like the Beatles Elvis etc as well as 70s and 80s stuff. I don't think anything decent has been released since 2000, except covers of old stuff.
Haha, I didn't go into any details, one person's dark is another's vanillaI do love how your first sentence then follows with you talking about sex, mate I'm eating me cornflakes I don't need to see this
Hun, knowing someone's Grandma "always preferred action to talk" is far too much bork for 9 am on a ThursdayHaha, I didn't go into any details, one person's dark is another's vanilla
sadly, I agree.My potentially unpopular opinion is - I don't believe women who say they partake in so many beauty rituals just because they want to, for themselves. i.e. hair extensions, fake tan, fillers, hair dye, fake eye lashes, waxing everything, three layers of make up. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of these things, but I just don't buy it when people say they do it "for themselves".
I hate taking calls in public, partly because some of them (such as hospital appointment booking) involve giving out such personal information. I don't understand why some people do this. It's bad enough when my dad calls me. (He works outside and usually wants to know if I'm home so he can have a wee!)i am often shocked at the conversations people have in public seemingly without realising other people are listening. i was on the bus the other day and a woman was having a conversation with her bank revealing lots of personal data which in sure in the wrong hands could be very dangerous
Irrelevant what they are, they should be banned! MingingJaffa Cakes are without a doubt a cake NOT a biscuit.
Each to their own. I love Jaffas!Irrelevant what they are, they should be banned! Minging
100% agree - sorry missed that part off.Irrelevant what they are, they should be banned! Minging
I work from home and still apply make up everyday, it's part of my morning ritual. I don't have extensions, fake eye lashes or any of that shit. I don't put on a full face of make up, just some mascara and eye liner.My potentially unpopular opinion is - I don't believe women who say they partake in so many beauty rituals just because they want to, for themselves. i.e. hair extensions, fake tan, fillers, hair dye, fake eye lashes, waxing everything, three layers of make up.
