Just saw these on another board, as examples of old attitudes to domestic violence.
If you tried that today everyone would go nuts.

And sodomy being banned till around '96.
I can't believe that was illegal in my lifetime, and the the Supreme Court upheld the ban.
It's just hard to comprehend.

I was thinking to myself not too long ago that the Minister created one hell of a lot of threads.

Needless to say i was totally shocked!:eek:

Honey-ec

How bad peoples' teeth were.

In fact, it still shocks me. Have people never heard of the orthodontist?

syklops

That roughly 70 million people could die in the course of 6 years because some wanker didn't like jews.

/goes into AH mode.

Also, that gort in county galway would become a popular place for people to live.

Biggins

I remember when saying I was gay - folk actually knew i was happy,
I remember when saying I was lying on the grass to a police officer, he didn't strip-search me!
I remember when I could play with my pussy in public!
I remember when trying to catch a sheep with wellies on and saying I'm gonna give him a dip, was a nice thing!
I remember when I could complain about me balls in public being flat!

In fairness minister the second pic appears to be a movie poster, that might not be the same as the first one.

Listen here Little Miss Shiny Teeth. Not everybody is able to send their orthodontist bill to Daddy dearest. Some people have to scrimp and scrape to get the price of a slice pan. Shiny white teeth are the least of their worries.

Pigheads used to like you Honey- ec but your post has quickly sickened him to the stomach. You're exactly like that big tin of Roses Pighead got from his Aunt Alice over Christmas. They filled me with joy for about an hour but once all the nice ones were gone the joy quickly evaporated and as Pighead robotically chewed through the last of the strawberry creams he realised he actually hated that tin of Roses and Aunty Alice even more so.

Can't help you there, I'm trying to get rid of my own!

Pighead, I apologise. Would it make you feel better if I let you punch me in the face and knock out a few of my shiny teeth?

Pighead would never punch a lady. Especially one with lovely white teeth.

That if you wanted free music, you'd have to talk nicely to your friend that had a double-deck tape recorder. Or tape it off the Hotline.
People wanted curly hair, not ramrod straight hair...GHD might well have been some sort of chemical.

Grandparents? Do you even know when the Famine occurred? My oldest grandmother was born in 1909 (and she died years ago at 95). The Famine ended in 1849. Do you have many friends with 160-year-old grandparents?

God, I'm very impatient tonight.

10p crisps coming in 20g packs.
They reduced the size to 16g and charged 20c for them.
I think they're about 40 or 50c now.

Being able to buy Rice Crispie buns and their Cornflake equivalent in supermarkets. Honestly, anyone who can't make or be bothered making Rice Crispie buns in their own kitchen deserves to be ripped off.

Hope it's not red wine. It'll ruin your pearly whites. If Pighead had two bottles of wine he'd be on a boards rampage at this stage. Calling people ninnys, telling 6th he's not magic, getting banned from forums, left, right and centre.
Thats why Pighead never posts whilst drunk.

I am so shocked that bull fighing is still around, for some ridiculus reason the first time i went to spain (Was about 15) i though that it was a thing from the roman days or something.

That until 1993 homosexuality was illegal here, and also until some time in the 70's if you were found with contraception you could be arrested as they were illegal too

Matter of fact we have a woman with the surname of McGEE to thank for contraception ban to be repealed
