nostalgia and childhood memories

Catching a glimpse of your reflection in just blazer and shirt and thinking "now this is a look I could do something with", then having that thought beaten right out of your head, only for it to resurface years later.

Blazers? What kind of Etonian Twatcademy did you go to?

6 weeks holidays

When I was nine, on the Friday everyone broke up for the six weeks holiday, we were playing cricket in the back lane when my mate advanced down the wicket trying to hit the ball and succeeded in whacking me in the mouth with the bat. It split my lip and I had to have two stiches but thinking back it couldn't have been that hard as I didn't lose any teeth or need an xray for a broken jaw.

 

Pisser was I wasn't allowed out for two weeks of the six weeks holiday (for no logical reason I can remember) - seemed like a lifetime at the time.

:lol: Fuck me it's the Chuckle Brothers.

 

:lol:

 

To be fair to you, my parents' divorce was an endless game of "to me, to me, to me, no, to me".

 

Anyway, you stole my porn mag memory, the only good one I have. That was precious, untainted and sacred and now you've made it a dirty Fist thing.

 

Maybe we were sharing the same stash?

 

Fuck.

what do you look back on about your childhood that give you that nostalgic tingle down the back of your spine?

 

i'll kick things off with:

 

jumpers for goalpost games of football at school that started before 9am, continued during playtimes and dinnertime and concluded after school with a 23-22 scoreline

british bulldog

giant refreshers and wham bars

10p mixups that contained over 20 sweets

curby

bench ball

attic attack on the zx spectrum

marathon weekend bike rides on my bmx to the tree swing at macro, washington.

 

 

 

 

:lol: like it

 

Chopper bikes with playing cards on the spokes

Elite on the BBC computer

Space dust

Silly putty

Chesterfields at 1 pound a packet

Before I stuck them together,pages 50-56 of Best of Razzle 1984 were spectacular.

Cabrini jackets too.

:lol:

 

Guilty.

 

Did anyone on here NOT have a parker? Snow outside, parker zipped right up so there was only a small circle hole with a view about ten inches away from your face.

friday nights as a boy was the TV night to look forward to all week. cheers followed by roseanne and whose line is it anyway on channel 4. then later on there was some american sitcom, i think it was called dream on, which made game of thrones look prudish on the nipple count.

 

saturday mornings watching saturday superstore (later it was going live) then football focus or saint and greavsie.

 

watching the results come in on grandstand on the videprinter.

yeah, and on on that note - putting the parker hood on your head while keeping arms out so it flapped around like a cape while pretending to be superman during school playtime.

My first regular VCR use was to tape Friday night c4 comedy during my early drinking years.

 

Dream On was a favourite of mine - quality comedy and some great guests. I remember Julie Carmen was in it for a few episodes - top, top totty.

space dust man - was that that chocolate dust stuff they used to sell in sweet shops? basically crushed up chocolate?

 

on that same note - how about a trip to sweet shop for a quarter of sherbet lemons, rubarb and custard, cola cubes or bullseyes?

 

or the craze for those american candy neckace things that if you bit half the sweet off, couldbe used to launch the other one at un unsuspecting victim like a catapult?

Or taking hold of the bottom corners and lifting them over your head so the coat catches the wind.

Space dust was what the Americans call popping candy, that stuff that crackles in your mouth. Used to love it. Had some chilli flavoured chocolate that had some of it in recently too.

Watching 'why don't you?' on summer morning before being kicked out of the house to go an play.

 

The intro to this is quite interesting. It basically says if a 2-bit TV actor approaches you in a Ford Cortina and offers you sweets, dont report him to the police, dont tell your mum there is a dangerous predatory paedophile driving around schools. No, in this case, just dont get in the car and fuck him. Just say no.

the received pronunciation on that voiceover :lol:

 

i always found the why don't you theme tune a bit ironic - a tv show that encourages kids to turn off the telly and go out.
