Went to my brothers 60th at the weekend. Went back to his house for the post party party, first thing I did was put the kettle on and have a cup of tea. Hardcore me. I knew the writing was on the wall when I found myself dancing to the Bay City Rollers, even knowing some of the words. Shangalang!

I must add, I hated the Bay City Rollers as a teenager. More of a prog rock guy, what's become of me?

Jesus christ. Given that junior tickets are now roughly £17 - £19 (lets say £18) that's a 3600% increase. Even adjusting for inflation that's a huge leap.

I'm sure that it used to cost the same to go the match as it did to go to the pictures (not the cinema FFS).

I remember the days when being a 'Mod' meant you wore a fishtail parka and rode a Scooter, not kept an internet forum in check.

Black Jacks, Murray Mints (too good to hurry mints), and Cadburys dairy milk miniature chocolates from a machine on the wall. Remember letting my girlfriend ride my Chopper, kind of remember there was also a bike by the same name.

Who can forget the TV Series, UFO?

This stuff has probably all been posted, not read through every post.
