That weed was illegal... How stupid are we to spend so much money on a war we will never win? Stupid Irish giovernemnt clowns.. They really do put on a circus

Oh and we had a choice... We chose to let people over 70 DIE because they work all their lives for the country.. But instead of taxing and profiting from the tourism of weed we spend millions in a futile war against it...

When i was younger we used to go outside and play

ScumLord

Nevermind grandkids, I've a six year old nephew who'll never play a tape, he'll be lucky to know what cds are at this rate.

By next year he'll think terrestrial tele was some kind of alien. He already doesn't know what a world without the internet of mobile phones would be like.

Hopefully global warming, peak oil and a global economy crash will hit soon so for the first time in history the old people will have had all the cool **** and the next generation will have to walk to school barefoot.

"When I was young, we had to actually go to the school building for classes and we had to stay there from 9AM until 4PM, and we had to concentrate and try to learn stuff, there was none of this telepathic neural network embedding technology or whatever ye call it that meant that by the time you've brushed your teeth, all the knowledge has been transplanted into yer head, Jasus no there was none of that when I was a nipper!!!"

"An we had to carry round stuff called cash to buy stuff as well, there was no such thing as havin' a chip in your arm that the shop talked to and took money from automatically for what you bought, and there used to be shop assistants and by jasus some of them were crackers, if you saw one you liked, you'd ask her out and she might go out for a drink with you and you might hit it off with her...!!!! A lot of them were foreign back then..."

Seriously folks, it seems like yesterday that my Nana was telling me stories about a man she used to call Billy who would come out in the evening's with a gadget on the end of a long pole, to light the gas street lamps down in Hanlon's Corner in Phibsborough...

More realistically:

"When I was 15 we all smoked hash from dusk til dawn. Then around 2006 it began getting harder to get. Not impossible by any means, but droughts became more commonplace and even when it was around you had to break your bollix to find it rather than the old days when it was easier to get than beer. By 2020 the Moroccans had done a good job at all but wiping it out, and it became so expensive to obtain from far off places like Afghanistan that people didnt bother anymore. There was always Irish grown grass around, but it was so mixed down for profit eventually nobody trusted it, and that industry died a death."
