Sherbet dips Pacers ( kind of like chewits but a minty green flavour and were green and white stripes) Playing marbles on the drain covers Being able to go for a long walk with my sisters with just a jam butty in my carrier bag without my mum freaking out School trips to Beaumanor Hall and Hothorpe Hall Not having to pay bills Although I was in my late 20's, can still remember my three small lads at the time singing "send a message out across the sky, alien raiders just past Gemini" or something like that! (Star Fleet) One of the things I remember is going down the offo at 15 and buying a manns brown and packet of crisps and finishing them before I got home. Also chips were cooked properly unlike most chippies today who don't give value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 19 November 2016 Share Posted 19 November 2016 The Crystal Maze. Mr Blobby (would actually watch again on tape if had an option to instead of the numerous rubbish flying around in modern tv, much more entertaining imo). Street Fighter toys. Recess. Power Rangers. The House Of The Dead arcade (+ Sega). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl the Llama Posted 19 November 2016 Share Posted 19 November 2016 Not knowing that: Life is a futile struggle against the forces of entropy and decay; that we're all deserted on a tiny speck of arable land in a sea of inhospitable planets, light years from the nearest stars and the other barren specks of land that accompany them in an endless expanse of darkness that stretches to infinity; that amongst all this emptiness we were fortunate enough to take the form of an arbitrary collection of molecules that happened to be in the correct arrangement to bestow sentience on the collective unit and that this formation took place on the one currently known rock in the otherwise lifeless vacuum capable of sustaining advanced lifeforms; that the chance of us even coming into existence are infinitesimally small and that somehow this apparent miracle as some would call it means we have to share our incredibly unlikely and precious self-aware existence with beings who find value in social constructs that are, almost impressively, somehow even more infinitely pointless than this whole existence thing, creations such as "Piers Morgan" or "I'm a celebrity get me out of here"..

leicsmac Posted 19 November 2016 Share Posted 19 November 2016 I love that you can carbon date the age of most posters just from the list they quote here. And Carl's nihilism, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to my Dad's work events, smelling the cigar smoke and having my hand crushed by giants of men when they shook my hand. Pretending to be asleep in the car and having to be carried out. I wonder what my kids will miss. I used to do that too even that I have no idea why I did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
