"When your favourite song is 25 years old.
Trying to explain why blur vs oasis was a thing and you couldnt like them both (but i did anyway)"
were we allowed like both?  I wouldn't even talk to someone who liked Blur! And another thing was writing band names on your schoolbag.. Dont think kids do that anymore? |

"Looking at my birth cert does it for me. Although I was told on here I don't look my age. I must have young looking boobs.
Apart from the boobs You have the neck of someone much younger in fairness "
I had someone stand behind me and pull me up by the ears. |

I remember when the law came in and me and my sister both giving out sitting the front passenger seat while Mum dutifully pulled over the seat belt over the two of us. |

Remembering the phone ring, your dad sending you out to the hall to answer and the lady at the other end telling you, you have a call from so-and-so and puts you through. Also when 5 households shared a line so you might want to make a call but you hear a convo going on when you lift the phone meaning you have to try again later  |

There’s talk of a match taking place after Happy and Shooter posted their videos to celebrate 25 years. Apparently Happy and Phil Michelson against Shooter and Tiger |

Is anyone old enough to remember the old type CIE double decker bus
It was open at the back and you could swing out of the pole beside the opening...if you were really brave you could jump or push a mate off before it came to a complete stop
Health and safety my arse |
