Thats it them powdery hard f***ing horrible sweets and a few crappy toy but for some reason we liked them.

I shot my mate in the arse with one of them darts  He had the Gat, I had a G10

Used to get the Dandy and Beano delivered. Had all the annuals from early 70’s up until the early 90’s. Had some Topper annuals aswell. 

Always used to get the comic annuals as a stocking filler at Christmas as a nipper. Think i still have a few in a box in a cubby hole in the house. Always used to make me laugh through School and in my early working life when people would have nicknames from comic characters that I remembered as a kid

I don’t want be all morose about things eh , but f**k me isn’t everything just f***ing shit these days in comparison ? 

are we remembering a halcyon time that never was ? 

cause I genuinely hate what the world and my life has partly become in a way . 

I grew up in a massive group of about 50 lads , all football , fishing and dogs types , just intermingling around ourselves in various groups but we were all from our little town . We had many nights out where if someone came unstuck we could do things not many others could to the extent that if we went to town , we all weren’t allowed in the same place at the same time . 
 

i went home a while back with the wife and we bump into each other on the streets etc , one lads in a wheelchair these days , most of us are married and kids etc . A few never grew up and still live that way they did from 1995 - 2010 , boozing and ching and birds . But it ain’t the same as when we were out . 
 

music is shit these days 

going out costs a fortune 

Birds go out in trainers and jeans , a far cry from the absolute sorts dolled up like backing dancers from the early 00s 

motors are boring 

nothing looks like it did 

Telly is dumbing us down 

city centres are dying while retail parks turn us into the matrix 

if I could full on life on mars it back to 1999 in a Vauxhall calibra 16v listening to gatecrasher cds with my Mrs doing her best Kelly Lorena impression in a pvc minidress , I’d be gone . 
 

get back

Everyone in that film lived the life for real! They knew too much and were too on point, including Dyer

Said it earlier in the thread. We were out all day on the weekend (except Sunday mass) and holidays to the point we weren’t allowed in the house until teatime. Everyone knew everyone’s parents, so for the most part you behaved or got a double pasting. One from whoever caught you/village Bobby and the other when you got home after mum an dad had received a phone call/knock on the door.
