It's funny how time and my perception of it has changed, as a young kid, 30/40 years seemed an eternity, now I'm 62 and a 100 years isn't really that long of a time, it's gone by so quickly, slipping by me.
@@susanh3342 no you're not...60 is the new 40! So we're set for years and years of fun and excitement to come. I don't know when I'll have time for it, retirement is nowhere on the horizon yet.
I was born the year 2000, and I was always fascinated by the old way of life. It just seems so much more positive, people in my generation can't hold a candle, the men were men, the woman were woman, self respect, morals, and beauty. I always felt like I was born in the wrong time
You havent been born in the wrong time,there is no time.There is only whats apparently happening.All is wholeness,nothing to get,its already complete! Listen to Jim Newman,big surprise!
THANK YOU for leaving each frame on-screen with sufficient time to read the captions AND examine the photos! One of the ONLY sites with this kind of theme that does so!
I am an Asian but when I listen this type of music I became lost cuz when I was so small In our transistors it used to happen that any one of some foreigner station playing this type of music.It facinated me a lot.
Great pictures! And great timing as far as leaving them up long enough to read the caption and look at the photo without dragging the video down too slow...
I forget how much I love the 1812 Overture until I suddenly hear it again! I’ve played it in the orchestral version and also have sung the choral part offstage during a symphony orchestra performance....what an amazing piece of music!
I love it too, it always helps me sleep (on low volume). Having said that, nothing sends me into my utopia more than Johann Strauss and anything played by Andre Reui.
"OLD" is a state of mind. I was alive during most of these picture's time, and still am.. I appreciate the time frame of the pictures being delayed long enough to see the background and details around the subject. As a boy, I had to take band (my parent's demand), hence I know the 1812 Overture well. Your video protocol favors the former magazine "LOOK." Thanks.
Behind this hairdryer is a "Perming Machine". My Mum was connected with one during an air raid in WW2. She couldn't get out. Just had to sit there. All the staff rushed into the shelters. (She survived and birthed me!)
Oh wow. I recognised the perming machine. They're pretty frightening looking of their own accord but, l can't imagine the horror of being stuck connected to one during an air raid. Brave woman your mum.
The cars being delivered by train (7:39) are 1971 Chevrolet Vegas, in a new method called Vert-A-Pac, designed to carry 30 Vegas per railcar vs. 18 the usual horizontal way. They were also topped off with fluids which required innovative methods including a baffle to keep engine oil in place and relocating battery filler caps as well.
I remember an American teacher Christa McAuffle (spelling error) who died in the rocket explosion 💥 on Jan 28, 1986. If still alive, she would have been 73 now and making the speeches about her amazing experience in the rocket and being on the moon. 😢
I remember we saw it live. It was something you have no words for. We did literally not trust our eyes. One second and all was gone. Only smoke. My Mother spoke again and again about it, said she hoped so much they did not feel they died. But later we learned the _did_ feel it, lived even still while falling through air. I have no words for that day. One thing I will never forget, too was the face of Carl Saga during the press conference afterwards. I know the others were also grey and looked like stones, though fighting with tears, but we both led him so much (I grew up with him for a while, and my Mother was such an enthusiastic when it came to stars and space, etc). God...
Being on the moon? The space shuttle Challenger only. You could write a story about her backup, Barbara Morgan who wasn't deterred by the Challenger blowing up, became a professional astronaut, and went to the International Space Station. She is 70 and still a woman of many skills and interests. Look her up. :)
@@winterweib Shocking and unexpected things that happen that fast are often not perceived, understood, or felt. Being alive isn't the same as being afraid or suffering.
I remember being 10 and in the 5th grade, watching it in school, live. It was on every single television at every single school in the country. I'll never forget breaking down and crying, along with all of my classmates, and my teacher, Mr. Thompson, running to the TV roller and shutting it down as soon as he realized what had happened. I'll never forget that day.
Love the photographs of the people smoking and imbibing in Opium. I was actually lucky enough to have the honour of digging up an old Chinese Opium Pipe or Yen Hok, as they were called back then. I was digging for old 19th century bottles in a ghost town in Montana back in the 1970's and stumbled upon an old dump that had never been found and excavated by the hoards of bottle collectors and diggers before me. It was chock full of not only some very valuable bottles, but I then stumbled upon the Yen Hok sticking out from the soil. I still have it in my collection though it should probably be in a museum. That is likely where it will end up. Great old photographs and great video! Thanks for sharing.
What fun....when it comes to history I get so excited, what you just described sounds like Christmas to me 😁🙃😃🎉🎉🙆♀️😶👏👏👏 and old books. Old books are my number one favourite. Ever since I was little and my brother and I found a place near my nan's house where we were finding old Tasmanian coins, 5pence I don't remember the other names, nothing rare but so exciting when I found out how old they were 😃💞🇦🇺👍.
@@megs4193 I would love that! Yes, I love finding old things and have a very large collection of antiques and collectibles now that I am in my more elder years. Most of my collection is stuff I have either found by digging or via garage and Estate sales. Back when garage sales were really good still, and people didn't know what they were selling, that is! Old books are one of my favourite things too! You know what a lot of it is for me? The smell of old books! I love that. Also, sometimes you find interesting things hidden in old books! Cheers!
@@cortrichards8179 same, old books are amazing, I popped in to a second hand book store while I was waiting for a friend, I planned on being 10 15 minutes, 40 minutes later I was just totally absorbed. But this shop was a beautiful mess, there were books even stacked on the floor 🤗 best..day...ever. I was like it when I was little, now at 52 I think I get more excited 😃😃 there's just something about holding something and picturing the story the hands the held it before, who were they, what were they like, I think the more we see what the future is becoming the past becomes even more appealing 🥴😊😊.
@@megs4193 Yes! I am so with you on that, Megs! I love the smell of old books too, and one of the best pleasures I can think of, is getting to explore a huge used/second hand book shop. I would have been totally absorbed as you were, if I had found that store! Isn't it funny, I am also in my 50's and find that I am more excited about things like that, than I was as a child, though I was a very weird child, admittedly. I have always loved mysteries and kind of bizarre and somewhat macabre subjects and artefacts. I probably drove my parents and other adults crazy with my constant strange questions. I had this thing with graveyards and death when I was really little, and I am sure my parents thought I was a very weird little boy! Where I grew up in Montana, they used to put these white, metal crosses along the highways, where accidents had occurred and where people lost their lives. I was totally obsessed with those too, as a little kid. I would always ask my mother and father how the people died, when we would go passed one of those crosses on the highway. I am sure they had no idea, but my mother would always make something up to assuage me. I was so weird! I still am...lmao!
@@cortrichards8179 maybe you could see or feel things and just don't remember, a lot of children do. I could feel things but only from living people, that's something I've worked hard to try and cut out, when I was little I thought hate or not liking someone was made up, I was furious when I was in grade 3 and realised it was real, I turned into a 4 foot fireball, lecturing kids left and right, definitely wasn't a fan 😄😃 so we were both weird 👍👍👍I hear ya 🦘🇦🇺😁.
It's truly amazing how beautiful the women were back in the day. And you know it's true beauty because they didn't have the "filters" they have now days that completely changes someone's look. Just sayin!
Believe it or not but they had a version of filters, in a sense. They were able to blur skin after and control the lighting during. It was expensive but possible. They would alter the physical photograph, if I remember what I learned. Granted the filters we have today are dramatic and change much more, they could still fool you then!
@@jeannesteele9353 Right... that's why they ask if you want to be sedated when placed in an MRI imaging machine... so you don't go CRAZY! I know... I was in an MRI machine and opted for NO sedation... NEVER AGAIN!
I didn't know about the "knocker up" in London, thanks for that. The music is great, the Girls of Belfast is quite unusual as there isn't much information on any of them.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
Definitely one of the funniest scenes in Fawlty Towers. Saw it first time in the seventies.............50 years later..........and it`s still hilarious.
I think the vintage TV at 8:50 was actually a full sound system (for it’s day). I believe there’s a turntable on the bottom right and a radio in the bottom middle section. I can’t identify the bottom left gadget.
