"Back in my day"...

Twitter is a fantastic place where people just start random hashtags about anything in the hope that a big old thread of answers will follow. We don't know who exactly started this one but hats off to them whoever it was. My age in a phrase is trending on tinder and what is so fantastic about it is that, while it gives you a fair idea of what era the person might be from, it doesn't actually reveal their proper age. The feed was refreshing every few seconds with tens of answers each time but here are a few that we decided to pick out and talk about. https://twitter.com/Avi427/status/885580833180057601 What a pain that used to be, you'd be just set up nicely on Bebo and the next thing, bang, someone would ring the phone. Disaster. https://twitter.com/LisaPersona/status/885580301828669440 Lisa, count yourself extremely lucky. https://twitter.com/jennythefriend/status/885580023213813760 Ross is one of the funniest characters on Friends. This phrase is still thrown out from time to time and whether you watched Friends in real time back in the 90s or know this from the millions of re-runs, it's still a classic. https://twitter.com/NkechiDiallo/status/885579154120466436 "Chilling out maxing, relaxing all cool and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school." https://twitter.com/AMUSINGALICE28/status/885481552133664769 So much money was spent on these stupid things, how did we thing they were cool? https://twitter.com/TVenthusiast12/status/885578556461404160 The Suite Life, That's So Raven, Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana, we honestly could keep going. https://twitter.com/Donnythedingo/status/885578393445515264 By the time you got to the start of the tape, you didn't even want to watch it anymore. https://twitter.com/jswilliams1962/status/885469234817626113 Not sure if Scott is referring to the first time someone landed on the moon or if he's on about Michael Jackson's moonwalk. https://twitter.com/SheaBrowning/status/885469110062243840 Shea, we salute you and your honesty. https://twitter.com/RogerKentfield/status/885469013152870400 All together now, Kel loves orange soda. https://twitter.com/alisadalestrick/status/885469035659501568 When it gets dark it's time to come home but only after you finished 'next goal wins'. https://twitter.com/Speer989/status/885538040021737472 Now that, is the definition of the good old days.
