The "Remember when........." thread

Remember when you had to call your mates using landlines in order to organise your fledgling social life! You'd invariably get their mother or father or brother, if you were lucky you'd get their sister! Then you'd have to ask them to get your mate on the phone! No twatter or myface, no mobiles phones even. Good simple days.

Remember when flying commercial air used to be fun? People would dress nicely, you'd be able to stand on the balcony on top of Dublin Airport and look at the airplanes, you had real silverware and proper food...

Remember when CIE busses in Dublin were cream and black?

I fancy an omelette after seeing that. Actually no, that was a bit weird looking.

Remember those sweet, warm New England summers? Remember sipping lemonade underneath a shady tree? Remember when you hit that pedestrian with your car at the crosswalk and then just drove away? Pepperidge Farm remembers, but Pepperidge Farm ain't just gonna keep it to Pepperidge Farm's self free of charge.

Yes I do, yes I do

Remember going to the hardware shop and buying three spools of insulating tape and putting it on your handlebars?

Remember getting a dynamo kit that you fitted yourself and it worked grand but peddling your bike after, with the generator pressed against the wheel, felt like you were pulling a 4 ton truck?

Remember making ramps out of scaffolding and a barrel from the building site and then going flying the air ar*e over tit and landing on your ear?
