Nostalgia

2 Conversations

Something passing through late 20th Century society like a southerly wind passing through the Scottish glens of my youth, nostalgia often appears at the end of something such as a millennium, at retirement, after the break up of a long-term relationship, in your last days at school, or at the end of the day. Old people survive on a steady stream of nostalgia, which might account in part for their decrease in mineral intake.

With so many natural 'triggers' about at the end of the millennium, there is a lot of nostalgia about. This leads to scenes of grown men queuing for weeks to see kids' movies and films about television series from their youth.
