    A few years ago everyone had one of those Bluetooth ear pieces and would be walking in the street/shopping centres etc talking away on them,but now you don't see it as much and it looks quite sad really. They should have been the new way in technology but do we snigger at seeing people wearing them now.

    I can see the e cigarettes going the same way. I saw a woman today puffing on one like she had to get the final desperate drag out of it,and I thought do we snigger at the sight of people using them also. Will they become a trend we will laugh at in years to come?

    So what was really in trend once that was the next big thing,but now we snigger at the sight of if we do happen to see people doing/wearing?

    Back in the day, I would always see men stick their hands in the backside of their gf whenever I went to the shopping mall.
    Now I never see it.

    I seem to remember a strange time about ten years ago where grown adults were going around on scooters. I might be mad though.

    Remember the Blackberry craze? People would look at me as if I had ten heads when they would see me with no blackberry. I would reply. "I had a Blackberry once, but then I ate it."
