Stuff you never see anymore

BrokenArrows · 2009-11-19 23:17:24

Was just flicking around you tube as you do and came across this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I6KJHWtib4 Now i think, you just dont see that anymore. Those massive flocks of birds in the sky flying around in formation. I remember as a kid you would see that regularly. obviously not to the same extent as the video…

That crazy religous lady who used to dance and hold Rosary beads on O'Connell St.

Jesus, hope they didn't put the Spire on top of her.

On the payphone theme, I thought of another one:

Payphones in people's houses. We used to have one at home. The aul one made a mistake by not hiding the key to the little cash box away better.

Many a lucky bag & sherbet dip was bought with a family member's phone call funds!

I shared a house with a girl and we had a pay phone. She took the money from the cash box and fed it back into the phone. She genuinely thought we were getting free calls.

I'm being harassed by a gang of crows so I can tell you for a fact there's still flocks of them around. There's a galvanised shed just outside my apartment window and come nightfall they keep throwing stuff at that shed from height. They might leave it for a day or two then throw a massive bone at the roof making me spill my rum and coke all over the place shower of bastards. It's been over a year since I riddled their nesting tree with an airsoft gun and I think it's time to forgive and forget at this stage.

Naff CO.54 jackets. They used to scare the bejaysus out of Pighead. Mainly because whoever wore them tended to be people who liked to fight, wear big shiny gold rings and smoke cigarettes.

So what else do we not see anymore that used to happen back in the day.

Saw loads of them on Dicky Attenborough's life the other night.
As for the white dog poo you just don't look hard enough.

I'm 48, 8-track tape players, flares, tank tops I could be here all day.

As for Ladybirds you obviously don't watch the apprentice.

Queues for phone boxes. I use them all the time and I'm not even a drug kingpin.

Do these crows also steal your spectacles?

Oh and eh, Irish people. I am surrounded by Americans constantly. SomeTHING I have not seen in a good while is a bank book. I guess with the electric internet box there be no use for them anymore.

Of course I did, it was a disaster, they had the high ground and all I could do was throw my poo at them as climbing the tree was impossible. I came out of the battle covered in the poo of at least 3 separate species.
