It’s a Facebook event page. You might get a Facebook homepage that asks you to login, and it’s not worth creating an account for if you don’t have one. ---

I was pretty far off, but still got the idea right. ---

People are just quoting lines from an 80s British sitcom and linking to videos from it. The thread title is my own contribution. The link is a Facebook meme that inspired it but really isn’t important. ---

The musical parts are always my favourite bits…be they Alexi Sayle singing about [Doc Martens](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhg_QIyMxZw) or [Madness singing House of Fun while the boys walk to the pub](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ympZ6TEPHk). (The Young Ones actually introduced me to Madness, even though I never saw the show until the late 90s…although, I think it was [Our House](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDt4sPkxZ2U) that I first saw… ‘I hope Mike comes back with the cure…’ ‘No, Neil, it’s Madness, this week.’ _giggle_) ---

Hagrid is on the show from time to time, too. As is Lemmy Kilmeister. Kinda hard to tell the difference, really… ---

What does the thread title even mean? Did you check **Giles** ’s link, in post #21? Or you could just try Googling the thread title, which would lead you to pages like [this one](http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Young_Ones). Really, I imagine this thread makes about as much sense to you as those “post a random line from Monty Python” threads do to someone who’s unfamiliar with Python. ---

God, I actually had a crush on Rik! I am trying to recall all the funny bits, first time I ever watched it, it hooked me with “I’m so bored, I may as well be listening to Genesis.” ---

oh god, why am I so much more sensitive than everybody else ? why do I feel things so much more acutely than them, and understand so much more. I bet I’m the first person who’s ever felt as rotten as this. could it be that I’m going to grow up to be a great poet and thinker, and all those other wankers in my class are going to have to work in factories or go on the dole? yes, I think it could. ---

Do you dig graves? Neil: Yeah, man, they’re all right. 😃 I can’t remember many actual lines, though, after all these years - I wouldn’t mind rewatching. > [@CalMeacham](#): > > Did you not read my post #19? You didn’t Google the thread _title_. I did wonder if the thread might look random to those who don’t know the show; there was at least one other person who didn’t realise it was about a show called The Young Ones. ---
