Things under 40’s will never know.

Has anyone mentioned it being socially acceptable (if not promoted) to go for a lunch time pint or two and then head back to work.

Trawling HMV, Zavvi etc. for lesser known DnB music I didn’t actually like that much.

When I became a full time student I had to settle for YouTube trawling with an MP3 converter.

We used to do this at trades college. For some odd reason we had a two hour lunch so we’d go to The Dock pub at the end of Corporation Road and play a few games of pool and drink the most rancid beer I’ve ever consumed.

Wouldn’t have dreamt setting foot in there of an evening, mind.

This is still a thing.

Town being absolute carnage on pay day Fridays, with all the 5pm - 8pm happy hours around Dale St and Victoria St.

Remember when you could take drink on the Away Day coaches, all the lads would drink a Party 7 on the way down and fill it on the way back, No toilets on them in those days .

The biggest possible fail for the proud underage owner of a party 7 was to have picked a can that didn’t have the special opener Sellotaped to the bottom.

Ring pulls didn’t even exist in science fiction films.

The learning curve (and inevitable soaking) brought about trying to open them on spiked gates, trying a brick and rusty nail combo, or your shoe and a house key, were a rite of passage which provided never to be forgotten life lessons in physics and practical engineering.

The only thing I miss since COVID WFH culture, everyone going out on Friday on an empty stomach

Dread every single week

I remember once where my gf was out with her work mates, her manager, and her managers manager. Most went home, but she was drunk and text me to come out with a gram of mdma - it was both (managers) of their first time, we went to a jungle night and they both came back to ours and stayed until like Saturday evening as they were scared to go back to their wife/husband. My gf was absolutely mortified when she went in on Monday. All three had a meeting where they all agreed never to speak to anyone about it and that was that lol lol

Anyone remember cutting squares, then treading a piece of string thru it.

Will be doing exactly that for entertainment at Craven Cottage tonight.

Why am I suspecting there is more to this story? Have I been corrupted by the modern world?

I kind of miss the more less tech savvy times. Even the minuscule things like checking ceefax/teletext for the footy scores , going the cinema not having the film already spoiled for you and recording some songs on cassette from the Top 40 radio show
