Things that arent as good as they used to be

[cm_qs]

i remember going to the cinema and having 2 films to watch. There was always a smaller film shown before the main and then in the intermission between films you would get the ice cream tubs/drinks sellers standing in the corners of the cinema with that little light on their trays .


ah , great days

Dah Da, Dah da, Dah da, Dah Da Dadada...........

Heavy Rock music.

Angst ridden modern heavy rock and metal has no soul and no dirt.

This is what I want to hear, stuff like this -

The opening riff and the chorus riff at 3:30 is one I try and play with my limited guitar ability. - drop D tuning and it sounds great!

Ok so I'm an old fart!

Saturday morning pictures.

Ropes on trees over rivers.

Jumpers for goalposts for four weeks in summer and tennis for two against the wall of the end house in the street.

Works xmas parties when you could make a fool of yourself and not worry about being sacked.

New years eve, now it only holds bad memories for me, I met my mrs on one.

Standing on terraces at footy and not needing a ticket to go home or away, and 3pm kick offs.

When I was 14 I broke my neck at my local pool when I slipped on raw detergent and fell into the pool .... what did I get as compansation??? 6 weeks in hospital with the delightful Debbie who had the job of massaging my leg muscles to stop the 'going stiff' how ironic is that ???

orchards to scrump apples from

coppers who gave you a thick ear and that was the end of it (anything more serious went to your Dad)

Climbing up the pier to dodge paying (all of 6d), getting chased by the attendants, then diving off to do it all over again

Try that in Watford, you will break your neck.

If we had a pier.
