I remember when..................

[Captainron]

Soda stream first came out
I had a Commodore 64
Used to build dens down on the river bank
When kids were kids and not jumped up little gits who think they know better :lol:

 

[SocketRocket]

If you lived in Wigan,thats where you kept the coal.LOL.

Remember when car tyres had inner tubes.

I thought they kept their coal in the bath?

Wellie rings, do kids still get them, also a gir and clique.

 

[stevie_r]

Packets of rolling/ pipe tobacco that was in fact confectionery - and socially acceptable.

Im a unmarried parent. Been with my partner 10yr & we've got a 5 yr old son. Don't see a problem.

Your call, any reason why you're not married?

 

[tyke]

Petrol was less than 80p per gallon.

 

[stevie_r]

Pub food was a cheese roll, if you were lucky, Scratchings anyone?

Your call, any reason why you're not married?

Is it now compulsory?

It will be worth an extra £150 a year next year.
How many rows is that going to cause
Another half baked idea from the Eton Mess.

Hardly an incentive to be honest, getting rid of them if necessary costs you a bit more than that

And a party seven.

You had approximately 7 seconds after you opened it and poured it before it was flat

 

[stevie_r]

Do you remember offies with the beer on draught where you had to take your own containers?

 

[Bomber69]

Smoking the cinnamon sticks, ah them were the days.......

 

[Fish]

Free gifts in your comic like a folded bit of card that "cracked" (bang) when you swung it.

Jubbly Ice (lolly), couldn't really call it a lolly as it was the size of a brick shaped like a pyramid, bloody lethal weapon!

2 marble like balls on a bit of string that you "clacked" together. Found them in my mums wardrobe some years later

Bus tickets that you bought in bulk and put it into a machine and it "clipped" it. They were easy to rig

Poker dice

Chopper Bike

The Banana Splits

Following an over heated Hillman Imp to the coast with water & steam pouring from the boot...hang on.....that was us

Putting playing cards in your spokes with a peg to make an engine sound!

Spuds on a stick in a fire and coming home covered in black soot

Marbles

Conkers

Its just not for me,we're not religous & it wouldn't change anything if we did get married so whats the point?
Why do people get married if they're not religous?

 

[Fader]

I've been married with Kids and it didn't work out thanks to she whose name shall not pass my lips!! So my kids now spend time between 2 homes! Marriage isn't really all that!

I'm now an unmarried parent with a wee one on the way things are far more relaxed and though HID would like us to be married purely for sake of having the same name as the wee ones there really is no rush or physical ir financial need to be married. I'm from a catholic background and imo makes no difference to me if I should or shouldn't be married. It certainly won't make a difference to how we bring up our kids, you don't need to be married to know right from wrong or teach a child morals.


Back to the topic in hand:

- Pegging a playing card to the back wheel of your bike to get that motorbike sound
- When BMX's were cool the first time around
- You spoke when you were spoken to!
- Ford Sierra Cosworths 4x4, still the coolest car my dad had
- Walking miles to school in all weather and no-one batted an eyelid, now its all being ferried in chelsea tractors
- Not having a mobile and being better for it

Why do people get married if they're not religous?

For the legal and financial 'benefits' involved.

If you don't know what they are, you should find out. Quite a few 'bad surprises' have resulted from assumptions that turn out to be wrong.
