Things you once did but can't anymore.

Damn passage of time indeed intermittentmay. Back in the day Pighead used to be faster than Usain Bolt as he shimmied up trees here there and everywhere. "Look Mammy, Pigheads a monkey, Oooooh Ooooh Oooh"

Nowadays the reckless abandon has been replaced with fear and trepidation and it takes ten times longer to climb the same blasted tree. But worst of all, when Pighead does finally reach the top and starts acting like a monkey and doing his Oooooh Ooooh Ooohhs, Mammy's no longer at the bottom of the tree smiling up at her dear son. Instead it's the park ranger pointing with a big stick, threatening to throw Pighead out of the park for being drunk.:(

Haha, my god, you have such a fantastic narrative style!

Mr.Lizard · 20-03-2009 01:44PM

Nothing really. My immaturity has made me an enternal youth sorts - both physically and mentally. Very anti-social but quite an enjoyable existence..

Interesting days ahead as we wait to witness his divine vengance and mighty smighting.

Climb trees - I spent most of my childhood doing that.
Cycle 30 miles.
Run 10 miles.
Doing anything different without getting that next day muscle pain.
Loads of things.
Thanks for depressing me an a Friday Piggie.
Real thoughtful

meditraitor · 20-03-2009 03:41PM

Turn that frown upside down Beruthiel. Pighead wagers that there is plenty of things that you've actually got better at over the years. Making love, tasting wine and concealing wrinkles to name just three. As a wise woman once said: You can't turn back the clock. But you can wind it up again

longshanks · 20-03-2009 04:25PM

years ago when being chased through a forest i could leap branches as high as my forehead, i could duck under a branch as low as my knee, and i could pull a thorn from my toe, all without breaking stride or ruffling my braided hair. all this i could do without ever snapping a twig underfoot. at least i think that was me. oh yeah another thing, i used to be able to remember stuff accurately.

builttospill · 20-03-2009 04:38PM

Booze, fags and drugs. The bloody lot. Too much too young.

useful_contacts · 20-03-2009 06:12PM

the crab- well i can still do it but i would break my neck in the process

rainbow kirby · 20-03-2009 07:01PM

Do front splits - I was able to do them around the same time that I got my TKD black belt, but there's no way in hell I could do them now.

DonkeyStyle \o/ · 20-03-2009 07:11PM

Can't sleep in a tent in the back garden.
Can't stack up piles of empty cardboard boxes and perform goofy half-arsed flying kicks on them.
Can't do fake karate chops on blocks of polystirine.
Can't continue work on my treehouse.
Can't dig a hole and fill it with water for no reason.

Well I could... but I'd need a damn good explanation

Handsome Bob · 20-03-2009 08:30PM

Go to Eddie the Demon Barber. I went bald at 16.:( Now every time I see Eddie he asks me why I don't go up anymore for a haircut to which I reply "why do you ****ing think Eddie!":mad: He's a forgetful so and so.:pac:

EDIT Wait, maybe he's not forgetful and he's just taking the piss! The bastard!:mad:

Boskowski · 20-03-2009 08:44PM

I was able to drink all night on a Saturday and get out on the pitch on a Sunday morning and after 10 minutes of a somewhat shaky start I was able to play half decent club soccer for 90 mins, no bother.

Now I haven't had a drink in a fortnight and go out on a small pitch and I need an oxygen tank after 10 mins of what is shaky soccer at the best of times.

Swim in the canal/weirs without catching weils disease

Did this on Friday. Bad idea. Cut me foot and had to go for a tetanus shot. It was the Royal Canal, so probably better off.

Saibh · 20-03-2009 09:39PM

Count 125 pennies and still not have a pound!

Armin_Tamzarian · 20-03-2009 10:14PM

Get tried as a minor...

Use excuses like "an older boy made me do it"...

Look hard by smoking upstairs on a Dublin Bus... (disclaimer: hardness was imaginary)

Not be humiliated by being refused to night clubs.

Wear trackies and trainers without looking like I just got out on T.R. for the weekend.

Hang around outside secondary schools...

Get money from my Aunts and Uncles for my birthday...

Make a drunken show of myself in a hilarious way as opposed to a tragic way...

Used to be able to chase a bus...

Now I can't even run without putting out my knees...:mad: And no amount of shouting of "wait!" will stop a departing bus...

CCCP^ · 21-03-2009 12:21AM

Crawl through the space between the steps on our stairs at home.

Not be arrested for running around naked in the front garden.

Bounce when I jump out of a tree.

Things you once did but can't anymore.
