Maybe I'm just getting old but..
.. I don't understand alot of new things today that are considered 'cool':

1) Ricky Gervais

The guy just ums and ahs at things with a little stutter and people think hes funny!?

2) Skinny Jeans / Leggings (On girls)

Its like some anorexic girl thought that the best way to show off her toothpick legs is to wear the tighest pair of trousers - or even better leggings so that the whole world can see her unattractive legs so thin that she must have to avoid drains incase she falls through.

3) Skinny Jeans / Leggins (On guys!)

Why oh why would a guy think "Hey, how can I find a way to immasuclate myself, retract my genitals back inside and expose my anorexic legs so that an androgynous female may find me attractive.

What happened to men being manly and women womanly?!

4) iPods / iPhones / ietc

Its just an MP3 player / phone! Get over yourself you pretentious twatface! Fair enough it has a nifty UI but it isn't the new freaking bible!

Religion, eh...
...do we really want or need a new bible anyway. The last one and all the foreign language versions cause way too much grief as it is. I'd definitely take an iPhone over the crusades.

I'm writing this on my iPhone
Which is the first phone I've had with a colour screen, the capacity to play music, take pics, etc.

I don't think it revolutionises society and I don't talk to other people about it unless they specifically ask.

In fact my first one died a mere 5 days after I got it so I know how reliable they ain't.

But it DOES have lots of snazzy features and it was on offer cheap and with free texting when I got it.

We're not all gits.
