Just recently, I've been noticing that a lot of nostalgic pasttimes have steadily grown more popular in this country again.

Here's the evidence...

1. Ballroom Dancing

One of the highest-rated shows in the UK recently has been a ballroom dancing show called Strictly Come Dancing. It's been scheduled head-to-head with a talent show called The X-Factor which featured Simon Cowell and Sharon Osborne as judges. The finale of the show was watched by 11.2 million viewers as opposed to the X-Factor's 9.9 million viewers. Strictly Come Dancing was hosted by Bruce Forsyth whom is about 110 years old...

2. Retro Games' Sales Rise

A major department store, John Lewis, has reported that Buckaroo is it's second biggest-selling toy this Christmas. Other retro board games are flying off the shelves too...

3. Londoners Open Roller Discos

I don't think it's so odd that a roller disco is opening in London - there's probably a few scattered across the country... I'm just surprised that it's made the pages of a news website.

Its on some fucking trip!!!! Not sure what it is, though!!!!

Mind U, its never been in tune with the rest of the world!!!!

I knew I'd find Gold319 here


Hey, there's nothing wrong with roller skating!
And I would like to learn some ballroom dancing one day. Nothing like a little Waltz to capture a heart of a lady

It's not just Britain.

Like that obnoxious Old Navy ad says: "Who would've thought leg warmers would come back?"

By the way!! This aint no retro trip for Britain!! This is just Britain being typically normal!! Its always at least 30-40 years behind the rest of the world!!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Actually, it makes me wanna move there. I don't like what I see in 21st century.

? Music wise it is crapper then ever. Britpop came and went and now its "anti boyands" like Busted, McCrap etc.....

Unfortunately that dickhead Robbie Williams is still very popular! WHO KEEPS BUYING HIS MUSIC? At least Americans told him to fuck off, as Americans told him to get lost back to england, he is now constantly everywhere again in the UK!

So is Kylie Minogue!!!

Shut the fuck up, you ignorant asshole.. what the fuck would you know,you old moany witch?

oh yeah! Even better, my all time fav Ronan keating is gonna be around again. YESSSSS!.....Americans thought he was shit too!

On Wednesday here they are showing the Royal Variety Performance(an ancient British tradition!!! ) and EVERY SINGLE FUCKING YEAR they have all the usual British fodder(most notably Elton John!!!! ) performing in front of our Goddam royal family!!!!!

Gold319 said:

Fuck off to a country that can put up with you contant moaning then.. we dont want you here..

YES, another stupid now played out tradition! Like us not joining the euro!

It would not be England without moaning unforunately. Too many grey sky's and very long working hours and windy roads dampen our spirits. T

So nobody likes Britain? I tell you what. let's switch.

flannel is a good look for you.

Cloudbuster said:

Good day sir, how is your horse? I wish they would invent the motor car so we could drive to work instead.

At least we do not get chat show hosts who use exactly the same backdrops and formula for over 20 years. And chat show hosts that have been on the same show forever! Don't Americans get bored with that unfunny fat guy Jay Leno? Oooooo those monologues r so risque arn't they?
