Listening to grown ups when I was only a young fella
I swore that I'd never, ever, ever say...
"Do you remember the time when you could..."
Well guess what???? 
Have that need to...
So, anyone out there who'd like to reminisce about when you could do certain things that you can't do anymore 
...Sure, it's a good way to annoy the 20-something Fabbers too on a Thrsday afternoon!  |

Heavy petting in the back row of the cinema
Send letters to your girlfriend as neither of you had a phone
Make a mix tape for your girlfriend
Go to a concert without every fucker talking or holding up a camera phone
Think hairy fannies were normal

When you could only get condoms in The students union in Trinity
When looking at porn with your mates meant passing around a copy of readers wifes with some pages stuck together
When catching crabs meant you were gone fishing
When your girlfriend getting her period was the best news every month
When front opening bra's were a game changer
When Vanilla was an Ice Cream

"Could go out, get steaming, make a dick of yourself and not have video evidence on social media the next day"
This right here! My days of going out are usually grand, but so many of my mates always have a phone in hand , ready to record when I'm in the midst of a d*unk singalong
Quite annoying lol |

"When you could get a chomp for 10p"
Ah yes...I got in trouble for taking 50p out of my post office account but was worth it cos that was a whole bag load of goodies. A chomp, a macaroon, a mint crisp, a tenpenny bag, a time bar.... |

It's the chemicals in the drink now. To much, leaves you in some state for a few days. |

Had the luck of mobile phones being a thing in my early 20's, they even had cameras but the quality was so shit nobody bothered. |

That modem sound when you tried to go online and yer ma cutting you off cos she needed to use the landline for an actual phone conversation
Waiting a month for photos to come back only to find out you'd taken 23 (or 35, if you're minted) photos of what looked like the inside of an kit bag in a dark room and 1 of the sun

"Do you still get a 16 pack of cigarettes in vending machines? "
They were done away with when the smoking ban came in and vending machines died a death a few years ago when Joe public weren't allowed direct access to them. |

When you could smoke in aeroplanes
When you learnt about your familie's/friend's holiday abroad via a handwritten postcard with a lovely glossy touristic pic in the front.
When the release of a new album of your favourite band and buying it at the record store was the event of the year. |

"going to your ma's best friend with am empty brown bag and a note from your ma and being told not to look in the full bag on the way back  "
That went over too many people's heads
Nothing worse as a young boy being sent over for extra sanitary towels for your ma to her best friend
Still remember it
How fuckin old and working class was I compared to people on here |

I.had a feeling it might be related to "women's problems" but my mother had a total hysterectomy the year after I was born  |

On the holiday thing, you had often found out about the holiday from the person themselves as the postcard didn't arrive for at least a week after they had returned.  |

Yes all this .
I remember at 12 having to thumb a lift 15 miles to nearest town to buy a LP on the day of its release.
No one would let a 12 year old out to thumb a lift now . |

Waterford |
Being 16 and 17 and going into The Roxy in Waterford before 9pm when the bouncers went on the door.
You had less chance of getting asked for ID once you were already in there.
The whole night depended on that moment. Such a relief when they walked past you.
Great times |

Somewhere in Co. Down |
The only phone a family had was a rotary dial phone and you didn't know who was calling before you answered.
Getting a fiver for you birthday and thinking you were rich.
No cameras or video phones recording anything we got up to.
Going to music gigs was easily affordable.

Leaving work of a friday, going straight to the local, for a feed of pints still in work gear, and it was like Christmas inside, mixture of celtic tiger lavish spending and youth
RIP the public house and cash |

You're only a young fella...the green shield stamps were stored in a warehouse in Ballymount
They left a pallet of them out by mistake one night
The good people of Walkinstown did well with the catalogue that week

That operation eventually morphed into Argos, if I'm not mistaken. |

Karma's a bitch though. Most of them suffered from glue poisoning. No self adhesive stamps in those days |
