    Harbour hotel reminds me of days off school with a cold sitting in front of the fire with a hot lemsip and a pack of Hacks!
    Gay Byrne on the radio in the mornings as well.

    nice thread to remember this stuff. brings back memories.

    But nothing really that great. especially spending £15 on a cd for an indie band from north england was not something i am proud of. page 3 of the sun, air hostess giving you a sweet!!

    new generation never had it so good, even with this pandemic that will soon be over.

    and im being positive about it all.

    Having to share everything
    1 phone in the house,
    1 TV,
    1 Car
    1 proper radio
    1 Computer


    Nowadays everyone has everything personalised to them so people never actually have to engage with each other anymore
