Things that have lost their appeal

    Snooker. I remember in my day you'd be down't pub, with stout n'hand. Watching the crucible through a haze of smoke. The miners would brundle in jostling to be first at bar, brindle trail on't carpet like snails leaving their slime. By heck it was sublime. We'd watch championship til early morn and wander home full of ale.

    Just don't have that anymore. What else has lost its charm? I never had any so you can't say me.

    Football. Watch the local team but rarely bother on TV now. even the team I have followed all my life are becomming secondary.

    still like other sports, but football is going down

    Most sports. Too many of them motivated by the $$$$$$.

    Air travel.

    It's great that it's cheaper & more accessible, but it's no more exciting than getting on a bus. Bring back Concorde!*

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Yes, the atmosphere is different now, but there are still places you can enjoy this. Not as many as before though :o

    I agree with this, it jumped the shark with the recent update which allows you to give yourself a name and essentially removes the anonymity.

    I think Steven Avery lost his appeal.

    Sounds like we don't have to bother finding out since it's on the way out already whatever the hell it is. Some teen bullying web app or something I'd say.

    No you're not allowed say that. Everyone must love it for no reason whatsoever.
