    Puking over the heads of a snogging couple after drinking too much Southern Comfort at a party

    Ah, those were the days.

    Seeing a baby octopus when diving :)
    Overhearing my junior school teacher telling the student teacher that I was the cleverest in the class :o:D
    Being woken up by my cat gently patting my face with his paw :p

    Nothing that beats buying broken biscuits from grocer

    I feel like I've wasted my life

    What is wrong with it.
    I think it is a lovely idea.
    I remember putting rose petals into a glass of water, pressing them down, letting it stand for a while then having a sniff of rose scented water.
    Happy days.

    A good memory was discovering heavy metal when I was around 10.

    Once a metalhead, always a metalhead. :cool:

    Being at a BBQ with friends and family, in some woods somewhere, and my Dad dropping a baked potato on the ground after taking it out of the BBQ. He picked it up, wiped it off and ate it, saying it was only clean dirt :D

    Funny the things you remember :)

    You must remember that broken biscuits were kept separate from the whole ones and they were cheaper , today you open a packet and find quite a few broken and you have payed full price for them (sorry but this is a pet hate of mine ) , I know , I am sad :o

    :eek:

    How much was a bottle of fizzy drink if the bottle alone was worth 2 x packets of crisps?

    ...says the author of three threads on toe sucking, a thread announcing your imminent departure to bed, and another thread announcing that you'd just farted. I don't think you're in a position to criticise here, Billy :D

    I think that a bottle if fizz was about 2 shilings or maybe half a crown.

    It certainly meant that the bottles were returned.

    when the country was immigrant and Europe free.

    Sorry, reverting to "standard DS type" there.

    How about when seasons were seasons.
    Summers were hot and sunny.
    Winters were cold.
    Now we get grey mildness for most of the year.

    Playing out in the woods as a child, feeling like I'm exploring the world when I'm only 500 metres from the house.

    Lying in a warm beach in the 1980s, drinking a Coke with lemon and ice, Madonna's 'Holiday' playing somewhere on a radio.

    Taking penalties against my brother on our front driveway, the garage serving as the goalmouth.

    And the time during one such memorable occasion when just as I took my shot, next door's cat ran directly across the path of the ball. The ball slammed into its side and sent it flying and yowling. My brother and I were on the floor for about ten minutes laughing.

    The sports paper with the football results on Sat evenings
    Plastic toys in cereal packets
    Unravelling handknitted jumpers so the wool could be reused

    No Health and Safety!!!!:D
