I miss being able to go to Nobbys house without his kids throwing things at me. Laughing
I miss being able to post images on BCF.
I miss the days of £140/oz for cannabis weeds.

Old English Spangles.
Mk I VW Golfs.
Climbing trees.
Stepping/jumping down without thinking, "Will this hurt?"
Dog friends now departed.
Oxfordshire accents.
Trips to the tip followed by crisps in a beer garden. (Too young to even enter the pub).

The bunch of mates at High Beach - a good laugh, good banter.


I also miss Friday and Tuesday nights at Oscars. I've tried going again, but not only is the music rubbish now, they seem to be selling some sort of fast food, also I can't find Del Stevens or the bouncers.

At High Beech I miss people on big air cooled super-bikes who obviously had HP coming out of their ears, doing something silly like a wheelie or stoppie, dropping their bike and having to pretend it didn't worry them.

Being able to do Dover to Halifax, in less than 3 hours, being able to do London in 1h 45.

With the joy of once you were home you could go and relax knowing there was no police NIP coming through your door.

Aww, do you really miss me? Laughing
I was never one for the wheelies though. Well, except on the H2, which was a bastard like that, but that was all paid for.

Oh yes, if you turned round too quick your shoes stayed facing in their original direction.

One of my neighbour's (and my first employer) went there for his 40th birthday, his wife had arranged for a policewoman strippergram the same evening. I spoke with the doormen and they were okay about it.

She walked in, looking more like a policewoman than a stripper, people looked a bit freaked out and started hiding stuff under chairs etc. My neighbour was laughing out loud till she got up on stage and called his name over the microphone.

He went up and all the usual stuff happened. Then someone shouted out, 'Is that a canoe in your pocket or are you just pleased to see her?' He responded by whipping his trousers and pants down. I have never seen such low hanging bollocks, they were down by his knees!

Suddenly I remembered him talking about his biking days and how he hated heavy braking because he ended up sitting on his balls. Now I could see why. I'm only surprised he didn't get them caught between his boots and the footrests.

Now it’s no motorcycles and either a Toyota shitbox or meh eurobox

Final salary pension schemes and The Bunty comic for girls.

The back page of The Bunty always featured a young girl in vest & pants with various other items of clothing you could cut out of the page to dress her in.

This kept my kid brother happy for hours, dressing her in order to undress her if you see what I mean.......

I miss being care free. But am working on it.

I do miss smoking.

I miss work having a bar.

I miss the slower pace. Spinning round in circles faster is not more impressive than doing it slowly. Just makes you dizzy and fall over.

I miss roads without speed cameras and Steven Spielberg traffic womble wannabes.

I miss the days before social media and thus not realising how full of bellends the world is. #FirstWorldProblems #Yolo #JizzBucketChallenge


That said. We've probably never had it so good Smile

The internet used to be a resource for dispelling all the hearsay and BS you get in real life, then social media etc. happened and it all went digital Rolling Eyes
