AOL is very American, could've written dialup. Check books were also gone here long before they were in the US.

Are we censoring books now?
20/20, waterbeds were awesome.
13 i mean postcard? My work made me write post cards for Christmas even.
19; guess which one I've never used?
Waterbed?
That's a check if you were rich and old.
Phone Bo?
(I really want to make a bo staff out of phones now)
Surely that should be 'mix tape'? I scored 17 so I anticipate living for another hundred years!
Plus also, what the fuck are you doing on my lawn, ooh innit cold, the price of stamps these days, look at how young those policemen look, fucking cloud!
18 cause I'm not American.
18, damn.
Post card?
Cursive??
water bed????
Luckily we didn't have AOL emails where I lived.
But checks? Still use them, they're dead useful for school stuff, sport events for the kids and so on.
*cheque book
And why people from other countries than USA would necessarily use AOL?

17 points, I'm 43, no AOL address, no check book or waterbed.
Dude. I still use 8 of them. And you'll only take those eight from my cold, dead fingers. Which, apparently, won't be long...
I am a little old for a Bo dont ya think?
Never had VCR, AOL or phone bo. Don't think AOL ever was a thing here anyway, it was Sol or Kvasir and then Hotmail. The rest my 37 years have included.
Add this number to 35 for your age.
According to that, I should be 53.
That's over a decade older than I am right now.

I was too poor to have a waterbed, walkman and chequebook
