Music festivals have gone s**t. They were brilliant before the recession.

(Maybe it was because I was actually at them.)

Sir Arthur Daley · 07-01-2014 08:59PM

Going out for dinner 7 nights a week.

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy · 07-01-2014 08:59PM

All the money.

Legs.Eleven · 07-01-2014 08:59PM

Work opportunities and spare money.

Not seeing USC on my payslip. Fcuker of a thing

TeddyTedson · 07-01-2014 09:02PM

The majority of people not knowing about the joys of head shops.

Nabber · 07-01-2014 09:06PM

I miss the pre USC days.

I miss throwing my change in the bin.

I miss the letters the bank used to send me about the joys of owning a speed boat.

I miss Bertie and FF

I miss RTEs programmes on how to spend borrowed money.

My hair.

Cocaine and prostitutes.

Now it's just prescription pills on the medical card and a box of tissues.

Oh, the times they are a changin'.

Irish Steve · 07-01-2014 09:30PM

Being able to earn more than I need to spend.
Wholesalers who actually have real stock in country that they want to sell.
Customer service departments that are available the hours the service operates.
Heating systems that could be run in winter without a mortgage.
Being able to do simple things like work on a house alarm, or replace a circuit breaker without being regarded as either incompetent, or a criminal, or both.

Did this really happen?! I thought the whole point of a present is you are given it, not to go cheekily look for one?

Deciding to leave your job in Penneys and having a job in HMV before even handing in your notice.

Snako · 07-01-2014 09:44PM

Total ignorance of economics and all that lark

Chazz Michael Michaels · 07-01-2014 09:47PM

The undeserved sense of entitlement , arrogance and recklessness of those who worked in the lower echelons of the building trades.

Every problem not being blamed on, and second post on boards.ie not leading to someone blaming, "the bankers" or "the politicians"

-Good fun in the pubs every weekend: now, the pubs are more often than not empty and soulless unless someone has a party organised.
-Banks in more convenient places. Ditto post offices.
-no excuses for politicians to impose dictatorship.
-Less negativity in the papers and less political programmes on TV.
-lower crime rates.
