You don't hear people saying that anymore....
I had it in memory as "It's good to be alive, in nineteen fifty five."
Bur according to Google, it was ....1985, being a reference to George Orwell's 1984.
Whatever, you don't hear people saying that any more

I'm still partying like it's 1999!
...and I still miss the guy who wrote that song.

I think that was Eccles who said 'It's good to be alive in 1985.'
(Sorry to the non UK people, Eccles was in the Goon show played by Spike Milligan.

I was released in 1946, people can read me like a book, but I never became famous.
The only thing that I predicted for the future was that sending all the manufacturing to cheap labour countries was a very bad idea.

Ironically, I was diagnosed with a cataract in 2020.

20/20 vision, eh?
Assuming that's not a joke, are you booked for surgery, Paul?
Takes about ten minutes, and you can see it all happen before your very eyes.
As a bonus, when the light catches the plastic lens right, you have a twinkle in your eye.

No mate, it's not a joke. Having repeatedly put it off because of the pandemic restrictions, I finally decided to get it fixed. I'm going to my pre-surgery assessment next week where, amongst other things, they are going to measure my left eyeball. Presumably that means popping it out and running a tape measure around it.
Seriously, I'll be damned glad to get it done, whenever it's scheduled.
