Pubs in the 90s: Smoke, Jukeboxes and Last Orders

For many Gen Xers, a night out in the 90s didn’t mean booking online, checking reviews, or planning weeks in advance. It meant finishing work, meeting your mates, and heading to the pub. Simple as that. Before smoking bans, before smartphones, and before every bar started to look the same, the local pub had its own personality. Whether it was your regular, the one near work, or the place everyone went on a Friday night, pubs were at the centre […]

Iran’s attacks on Qatar have damaged facilities producing seventeen percent of the country’s liquefied natural gas export capacity, according to QatarEnergy. Chief executive Saad al Kaabi said repairs to the site, which cost twenty six billion dollars to build, could take between three and five years. Iran struck a facility linked to the North Field, the Qatari side of the world’s largest natural gas field, pushing oil and gas prices higher. Al Kaabi said he never expected Qatar to face […]

When the Radio Was the Only Way to Hear New Music

Before streaming, before downloads, and long before playlists built by algorithms, there was one main way to discover new music. You listened to the radio. For Gen X, the radio wasn’t just background noise. It was where you heard songs for the first time, found new bands, and waited all week to catch your favourites. You didn’t choose the music whenever you wanted. You waited for it, and that made it feel more exciting when it finally played. Waiting for […]

Saturday Morning TV We Never Missed: A Gen X Ritual

For anyone born in the 70s, 80s, or early 90s, Saturday mornings weren’t just the start of the weekend—they were sacred. While today’s kids scroll endlessly through streaming platforms or YouTube, Gen X had a very different ritual: Saturday morning TV. The Shows That Defined a Generation The line-up was something to look forward to all week. Shows like Swap Shop, Tiswas, Going Live, SM:TV Live, and Live & Kicking weren’t just programmes—they were events. Each had its own style, […]

MSPs have voted against legalising assisted dying in Scotland after a closely contested late night debate. The Scottish Parliament rejected plans that would have made it the first part of the United Kingdom to allow assisted suicide, while MPs at Westminster continue to discuss similar proposals. The result at Holyrood was fifty nine votes against and sixty seven in favour, with one abstention. Sources had said before the vote the outcome was too close to predict, but the bill has […]

The Cars We Learned to Drive In: A Gen X Road Down Memory Lane

For many Gen Xers, getting behind the wheel for the first time wasn’t just about learning a skill—it was a rite of passage. The freedom of the open road, the nervous glances from parents in the passenger seat, and the little cars that carried us through those first miles all hold a special place in our memories. Classic First Cars When it came to first cars in the 80s and 90s, small hatchbacks dominated. Think the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Nova, […]

Mother’s Day Traditions: How We Celebrated Then and How We Celebrate Now

Mother’s Day has always been one of those dates that sneaks up on you. One minute it’s February, the next you’re suddenly trying to remember if you bought a card, booked a table, or at least made a phone call. For Gen X, Mother’s Day carries a lot of memories, not just of celebrating our own mums, but of how the day felt growing up in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Back then it was called Mothering Sunday just as […]
