    Being able to buy a jam cake, twenty Woodbines and a tin of treacle for a shilling.

    Making girls of twenty marry men twice their age and then becoming mothers by twenty-one.

    Produce children on an annual basis until you explode.

    Skipping ropes, jumpers for goalposts etc. Isn't nostalgia wonderful?

    Work with people who sit on their hole all day waffling on with a sense of entitlement producing no value and getting overpaid.

    Welcome to the dole queue - wasters.

    Get in a good old fashioned fist fight and not have to wonder whether you'll be stabbed or not.

    Yes!!! This is perfectly true.



    Kids can no longer run in school. They are not allowed to play chasing, not necessarily because of the running, but the chaser is seen as "Excluded".

    Not allowed call a scumbag a Scumbag, they had the same ****ty childhood we all had, so it's not their fault.

    Have a budgie in prison. I guess the PS3's, Xboxes and flatscreen plasma will help fill the void. :(

    Emigrate (although, for you nostalgia buffs, there's been so much demand that they'll be bringing it back soon.)

    Be able to... play...

    I can only imagine what the next generation of kids will be like, what with their PS3s, Nintendo DSs and now the internet.

    I remember last Holloween in my local village. Not a bit of badness going on. :rolleyes: It was a cold night so the local kids were probably wrapped up in their sitting rooms playing Grand Theft Auto while simultaneously telling their mothers to 'shut the f&ck up' and 'bring us more f&cking coke auld doll'.

    Fecking kids.

    So it's not all bad then. I think our "Eurovision Years" were the cause of some of the most embarrasing scenes of national pride in Irish history. It was kinda like a message to the rest of the world that "yeah, it's 1995 and we still don't get the joke yet."

    Be a teacher and not have at least 5 kids in your class "suffering" from ADD/ADHD.

    In other words, kids whose parents are too wishy washy to actually tell them off, and feed them a balanced diet of crisps, coke and sweets, let the child play video games all day every day, then wonder why it's hyperactive :rolleyes:

    ADHD is the biggest joke of all time, a real sign of our generations ability to let people get away with being tits.

    ADHD is simply a name some doctors give to a load of behavioural problems which don't seem to add up to anything else. Its not a real illness. No doubt there are some 'who can't help it' but speaking from experience from people I know, most just use it to their advantage. Anyone who knows anyone with ADHD will be able to back this up.
