    yes in normal every day life it was not common to use computers back than and especially not in some random hospital somewhere in manchester.
    Children dont even watch normal tv anymore, you dont know **** about the present nor the past.

    Jackanory is more your level to be honest.

    Correct spellings are 'don't' and 'a bit' by the way.

    Yes, I expect you would know far more about the mentality of children than I would.

    Now, let's get back to the adult stuff... Computers were regularly used in the late 80's, you just thought they were typewriters and televisions in close proximity to each other.

    They were used in something called the 'workplace'. This is somewhere grown-ups go to during the day so they can pay for your toys.

    However, judging by our chats today, I'm not sure the workplace is something you will ever experience.

    Now, go and have a nap.

    Well, alright, you win then. :lol:

    My first exposure to him was probably earlier than most Yanks, and it certainly wasn't the right foot to get off making a first impression. Back then I was a low-level John McDermott fan and was already irritated that Danny Williams got two consecutive gifts over him, so for this Fury upstart to come along then and make it three in a row for Big Bad John really put a hair across my ass (that has never entirely gone away). :sisi1 Two years later I rooted like crazy for Chisora to murk him in their first match, and really expected him to. :ohno

    Always checking in boxrecs ratings every now and then. When did Fury start climbing up the ranks? around 2010?

    ...didn't help that he then beat another UK heavyweight journeyman of whom I was fond, in Martin Rogan.

    The final straw that has made it so that Fury is unlikely to ever win me over was the Cunningham fight. If you've watched it, you know exactly why.

    My mum entered his immunisation details on the computer amongst hundreds if not thousands of others THIRTY-ONE YEARS AGO and you're asking in which doctor's surgery the immunisation took place...
