..when I was filling out online forms and when it got to my date of birth, I didn't have to scroll down far to get to my year. Those were the good old days.

I remember the craic we used to get up to as children too, setting things on fire, jumping in rivers, stealing apples, stealing cars given half the chance, taking things apart, cycling our bikes on the main roads.

It's not computer games that are at fault, I can't think of any parent around today that would allow their little babies out into the scary world. They'll end up giving the child a nintendo DS and telling them to sit in the corner of the garden out of the sun and not to touch the dirt with their new clothes.

I remember when it used to snow for days on end, oh that was March wasn't it.

Actually I remember when it snowed as a kid, I'd wake up to see the snow and go running to the back door and bang excitedly on it shouting mum, dad, it's snowed.....can I come in now!

I remember my older sisters used to tape top of the pops every week. And on this one week there was a girl called Vanessa paradise singing joe le taxi. Then when everybody was out rewinding it because she was just fabulous. And her nipples showing through her top.
I was 7 years old and found myself thinking, I really need to see some more of this kind of stuff.

According to scientists, this is down to dogs being fed free bones that the butcher would give out. Now fancy dogfood and no bones means no white poop.

True, and warts on schoolkids fingers.

I remember when you could sit in the passenger seat without a seatbelt as a child :eek:.

Smoking on a plane, in the cinema, at a restaurant, even in hospital corridors.
I remember a bank teller counting out money in front of me with a cigarrette hanging from his mouth, like a character from Goodfellas.

I remember being able to get a quarter pounder with cheese, a can of coke, ten fags and a box of matches, and having change out of a fiver.

I remember, I remember
The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon
Nor brought too long a day;
But now, I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away.

I remember, I remember
The roses red and white,
The violets and the lily cups--
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs where the robin built,
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday,--
The tree is living yet!

I remember, I remember
Where I was used to swing,
And thought the air must rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing;
My spirit flew in feathers then
That is so heavy now,
The summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow.

I remember, I remember
The fir-trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky:
It was a childish ignorance,
But now 'tis little joy
To know I'm farther off from Heaven
Than when I was a boy.

I remember when 20 cigarettes and a box of matches were a pound and you could buy "loosies(single cigarettes)" for 10 p each a 2 litre of finest cider was 2pound.

You could go out and get hammered and smoke your head off for 3 pounds.

I remember when Boards were not online... Had to mail posts to everybody. No trolls, these were THE days.

Reminiscing isn't what it used to be. In my day I was able to remember all the good old days. These days I can't remember anything.

Thinly veiled "My family was minted in the 80s" comment :pac:

Not really. The Atari 2600 had already been out about six years when my father bought one. I think the one he bought might have been second hand.

I had loads of aunts and uncles so I got a decent amount of Confirmation money and bought the Commodore 64 with it.

Marathon bars and supercans of coke or fanta.
Boxes of 10 cigarettes. A box of matches for 5p.
Payphones, call cards and the 088 network.
