We've currently got a teenage work experience person in our office, which is proving to be a real culture shock. Such as earlier, when we were comparing MP3 players.

I asked what they had on theirs. Their reply: "Oh, um, nothing you'd've heard of, I think. It's all modern stuff. Oh...no, hang on, I think I've got Eye of the Tiger on here somewhere."

Please shoot me now.

So just make reference to things like:
* proper qualifications such as O-Levels and CSEs, rather than the mincing, namby-pamby, lowest-common-denominator exams they have now, like GCSEs
* imperial measurements and their inherent superiority to metric measurements
* what life used to be like before CCTV infiltrated everywhere

You know, that sort of stuff. Take pride in your age and make the work experience oik feel ashamed of his/her/its youth.

Those GCSEs like I got? Uh-oh.

What you should find disturbing, David, is that, after months of total hiatus from Monty, all you have to do is issue an invitation to shoot you and he pops up from the cyber-undergrowth like a big-game hunter at close quarters.

If you're going to stalk me, you might at least have the courtesy to go out with me first.

I saw that video on VH1 on the weekend; the funniest thing IN THE WORLD EVAR is the fat drummer with manboobs, NHS glasses and curly hair trying to look hard in a white vest and open shirt during the opening.
