My 5th birthday. I had mumps, but my mother had already organised a birthday party for me, so I lay upstairs, confined to bed, listening to a roomful of other kids having fun downstairs.

This was a very long time ago, before children were routinely given the mumps vaccine.

I haven’t followed pop culture since about 1985. I’ve never heard of Kendrick or Drake (apart from Sir Francis Drake and Nick Drake, and of course you can’t mean either of them, given they died in 1596 and 1974 respectively).

I like it here, not least because I understand a lot more of the things people talk about than I ever did on Reddit. Perhaps the users here tend to be older on average, I don’t know. There are certainly fewer people than over there, and that must account for some of the differences in content scope.
