The March of Relentless Unforgiving Time

Following facebook conversation with an old school friend who I last saw face to face outside the QM in 1992, some cheery thoughts on the advance of years:

a) any Smiths album is now older than Sgt Pepper was when i first listened to the Smiths;
b) Star Wars is now WAY older than Lawrence of Arabia was when I watched Star Wars, ok that an easy one;
c) the Breakfast Club is now older than Lawrence of Arabia was when I watched the Breakfast Club, altough close run; and
d) last but not least the cherry on the cake, the photo of my Primary School 1 class is more a piece of history now than say pictures of the VE Day celebrations would have been on the day it was taken.

I think I need to sit down now.
