    For me it has to be sleeping with a light on, I can't stand being in pitch black as I always wake up and need to reach for something, be it water or my asthma stuff. But other than that I just feel odd without it.

    Underwear

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I'll also add lego to the mix, I just love playing around with it when I see it at other peoples houses when they have kids :(

    Cartoons and video games. Though I think the average age of video-game players is around 35 these days...

    Animaniacs. Well, I thought I had grown out of them until I was bored at work one day recently and randomly searched for them on YouTube.

    Also, stuffing my face with sweets never really lost its appeal for me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    crappy cheap sweets and crisps.
    Wham bars, cola bottles, Chickatees etc...

    I think the bit in bold was an afterthought to cover up your secret lego collection... wasn't it ?!

    but probably the lovely warm feeling of going to bed on a cold wet rainy night and wrapping up tightly in the duvet. used to just happen during winter times, but now it's an all year round phenomenon.

    Fine fine, yes I bought the Star Wars Imperial kit a few weeks ago. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 119 ✭✭captainzapp


    i still eat cereal with a teaspoon.
    i probably should have grown out of that when i was about 7 right?
    ah well. the cereal lasts longer this way.

    Pegging a piece of cardboard to the frame of my bike so that it slaps the wheel spokes and makes it sound like a motorbike. Cool :D

    I always sleep on me belly. Head pointing to my right, I point left when I think about day gone by. Like a warm-down period.

    Still have an awful habit of getting restraining orders from beautiful women. :o

    Playing all those old arcade games I played as a kid whenever we went to Galway or Bundoran.

    Cartoons, though only the ones I grew up with. Funny, they're incredibly shìt and ropey to watch now but I just can't help that nostalgic feeling. Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles being very odd and having all sorts of continuity errors. I still think Raphael kicks ass.

    I still love brown sauce on it's own with bread. :D



    Ah, to be a kid again. :(

    Being upset that I didn't get a Mr. Frosty.

    Cardboard?

    Amature. Coca cola bottle FTW, it's longer lasting ;)

    Actually I was discussing cherry poppers and peg guns just the other day, may have to make some of these again.

    Has to be colouring in. There's something nice and calming about sitting down with a colouring books and markers. Still take over the little sister's stuff the odd time. Have progressed to staying inside the lines at least.

    Some people tell me videogames... Thankfully the g/f isn't one of them :)

    Home Alone. I loved that movie as a kid. Watched it the other day with the little one (age 6) and even though she loves it, I still think I get a bigger kick out of it.

    Loved smelling hair as a kid. Still do... That could go in the strange thread really, couldn't it?

    Well, when it comes to video games some are made for adults, and I'm not just talking about GTA either.

    I play one called Forza Motersport 2 and it's a really great game if you like cars, wouldn't be able to get my head around it if I was a kid though.

    Preaching to the choir man ;) I wrote my college dissertation on the industry.

    That said, popular perception is that it's childish for a 25 y.o. to enjoy videogames, sadly!

    Bah screw them then!


    I need to go level up more in Phantasy Star Universe once I finish at work :p

    I don't really see much difference between playing games and watching the telly to be honest.

    I still have old consoles and games that I used to play, cartoons were a daily thing and still are. I have bought some Beano and Roy of the Rovers comics on eBay not that long ago.
