You're jumping the gun a bit here. I haven't proposed yet. We would have sat in my room at my Mum and Dad's, smoking fags out the window, drinking cider and huddling round the radio listening to Peel, when this would have come on, and during the chorus I'd have plucked out a ring made of jelly to place on an expectant finger...

Now hop on a plane back to the Motherland so we can dance our legs down to the knees... 🤣

Of course they can. But only with footless tights of the right thickness (I believe it is referred to a 'dernier' in the trade).

Twadsters invented the man bag back in 1988 when they decided it was too dangerous to leave all their beloved Sarah 7"s at home in case they were burgled or their house caught fire because of the dodgy paraffin heater. Each jean pocket of a twadster's stone-washed strides would contain at stick of Juicy Fruit (that's not the song by Mtumbe).

National Anthem...? Now there's a challenge... Sensitive surely...?

There is no better anthem for any ageing twumster and twadster out there! 😁

Woohoo... We are now part of something again Jimmy!

Can Twumsters wear polka dot skirts too? That would look fab with a pair of jazzed up plimsols...

Twadsters would look fetching in turned up stone washed jeans with lots of sensible pockets! I also think your twadster needs a man bag as part of the uniform too

Twumsters and Twadsters... unite and take over!

The agreed uniform shall be:

Sweetie-necklace and a packet of Spangles in the breast pocket of your anorak.
3 Pastels badges
NHS specs even if you don't need them
Black plimsols like you used to do PE in, but jazzed up a bit (for her), Dunlop Green Flash (for him)

However, I am a Dad now and do have CS&N on vinyl, which I listen to with my stupidly expensive headphones through a Hi-Fi seperates system. This makes me a Dadrocker. I also read What Hi-Fi and shop in Richer Sounds (think Radio Shack for discerning Brits with more money than sense).

Bottom line - can't you be both? Or can someone invent a 3rd way - a 'hip Dad' or something of that ilk. Answers on a postcard.

This thread is funny... Everything in its little compartment! 😁

Well I'm not a dadrocker cause a. Not a dad and b. don't particularly like 'rock'

And I'm about 20 years too old to be a hipster and I don't care enough about what other people think and I don't have a beard!

So I'll just carry on being me...

And I can take all of you in a fair fight.... Mwhahahaha!

POOOUURR SOOOOME SUGAR ON MEEEEE! But Pyromania's more dadrcok. I can't see glam metal as part of dadrock for some reason, possibly due to the distaste for glam metal (Def leppard, Poison, Bon Jovi) here.

It would be impossible for me to argue that I'm not a dadrocker since I am, in fact a Dad (rather proud of my kids), and I tend to enjoy the rock music of the 60's and 70's more than later years. That's not going to stop me from enjoying the later stuff.

Hipsters? Dadrockers? What's the fucking difference? They're both biased, so there shouldn't be any competition.
