Are you getting old

[DanB]

:crying: I'm old

[sArA]

:crying: I'm old

No you are not....not by my standards Danb....unless you have been lying about your age all this time

[Biggles]

I can remember when I got high from Parma Violets.
Those were the days.


I bought myself a Dip-Dab the other day.
Was tempted to snort the sherbet, one last time.

Sherbet?????

That sounds seriously painful. I think you have invented a new masochistic pleasure.

Sherbet?????

Oh come on, everyone's tried snorting sherbet.
Bet everyone has been cow-tipping too.


I used to convince myself normal stones were chalk, and scratch so hard I engraved words on the concrete.

When I played British Bulldog, a swift kick in the nuts took the boys down.

I could climb the highest tree, then be too scared to come down.

You actually got 10 sweeties in a 10p mix bag, and would spend ages picking paper off your Mojo's.

A hole in the wall was a naughty accident, that needed hidden.

I had to eat a chunk of soap everytime I was convinced by my evil Uncles to say a rude word to my Grandma.

Holding my chin over a glass of lemonade was the thrill of my life.




There was a point to chasing rainbows. :crying:

Yup, 104 and getting older every day.

Not too many Aussies here now (but thanks for the thread anyway TheDave) but I remember ...

I may not be as young as I used to be..... but I will never get old

[magnu103]

I remember going out every Friday and Saturday night. A bunch of us, up to 16 at times, and we would have a half in every pub in the centre of town. And then... go home!

I don't remember ever seeing a fight, or the Police. No trouble in pubs, no doormen, no drinking on the street, no food containers scattered all around. In fact there was only one place you could get food after 10.30pm, and that was Greasy Don's, in by the back door. Plenty bread and butter for you my friend, he would say.

But am I old? My story is set in the late 70's, so does that make me old? Have things changed that much? 'Fraid so.
