Traditions you miss from when you were young

Just looking at some old pictures of cork and it all came back to me about stuff we used to do when I was a Kid.

carrying the real christmas tree home with my dad from the city center, only hit me last year when I bought on of those fake ones for my first house and shoved it in the boot of my car.

Watching bullseye on a sunday with the whole family, followed by the A-Team.

What do you miss, feel like I am being ancient I am still under 30 but looking at stuff today it feels like a million years ago?

When fapping made you blind...

Wimmins were the source of all evil. Probably still the case.

Life seemed more orderly when I was a kid . Like in the grand scheme of things everything had it's place and although we had the information about stuff , we didn't have the openess to discuss it as we do now .So in that sense and from somebody over 30, a sense or loss , not so much iggnorence but of innocence .

Visiting Nan and Granddad every Sunday.

Granddad would give me a pound ('Don't tell your mom') and Nan would have gone out to buy the 'good meat' from M&S and a load of sweets for me.
God rest their souls.

What do you think?

If they have to do it, ( and I think it should have been left alone ) I reckon they have a good cast there.:pac:

Yep - use to be worthwhile. Was amazingly disappointed with the one set in Ireland earlier this year... got to the end and I just thought "Is that it?" there were no funny bits! Shame.. used to be excellent (/no Mr Burns intended)

Christmas...........single tear.

Too many to mention. Have to agree with the Simpsons one though! The Irish Simpsons was a mockery! No U2 whatsoever (although they were in Trash Of The Titans years back). You can't make anything Irish based if it doesn't contain U2!

Going into my cousins on the weekend. Used to be a lot closer to them. It was the good life I tell ya, Mega Drive at home, SNES on the weekend. Sonic, Micro Machines through the week, Mortal Kombat and (never winning at) Street Fighter II Turbo on the weekend. Fiver pocket money, Walnut Whips, Knockout tournaments on the street.....

Hayclon days, lads, hayclon days.

There used to be a river festival every year in the middle of the summer in Athlone, 3 days of baoting related fun which was ended with a big arsed fireworks display.
Stopped about 10 years ago I reckon, much missed!

before computers and video games took over the world and kids still went outside and played.

Am I the only one who didn't enjoy childhood at all? I was bullied in primary school for being a nerd and fat

Fifth year onwards was great but the damage had been done...

Still though, I showed them all! Bastards!

Ah school memories!! The stick I used to get. Did any of you do that 6th class project on your "life". I did. Showed the whole class pictures of my birth. Big mistake. I was born a week early, my ma was on her lunch break, I was born in the very sitting room I post this message from. I am only 22.

Some abuse I got/get.:mad:

Did she go back to work after her break?

Well I'm hardly old but one thing I miss is sitting down on a Saturday night with my dad and sister watching Match of the Day on the BBC. Completely gone off English football now but when I was a kid I used to love Saturday nights getting ready for the opening music.

Also miss watching live Serie A games, the reason I first start watching football was because of Serie A and Juventus were my first love

Also miss my dad bringing me to football matches

Remember Calcio Italia on RTE 2?

GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLAAAAAZZZOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Those were the days, hah?!?
