I think things like Tinder have actually been fucking dreadful for human interaction. There's something utterly depressing about it.

Army cock only.  Don't like it? Swipe left.

I like nothing more than ramming a piping hot baked potato up my arse.

On a (slightly) less superficial level, there are probably more women now who you would see as positive role models - women with intelligence and integrity who refuse to be silenced.

A real downside to modern life.

Any reason you're having a shit in the school bogs?

Ha ha. It’s only a joke, I don’t have an extensive collection of hidden camera toilet shots, I’m not Little Richard.

San Izal bog roll was like wiping your arse with tracing paper. Fucking awful stuff.

I used to hold it in until I got hope. I didn't want a ringpiece like a guest at a Barrymore Pool Party.

Central heating and double glazing, houses used to be fucking freezing,

No seatbelts in the back of cars with no ABS or airbags. If you sat in the middle, every trip was potentially lethal.

I remember driving to my grandad's as a kid. Four of us in the back of an Austin Princess - no seatbelts,  all sliding around the plastic seats shouting for him to go faster over the small hump back bridge on the way to Princess Drive.

Was brought up as one of five in a concrete flat in Netherley, single paned windows, one gas fire and one paraffin heater for the whole gaff. Used to walk up to the chandlers on Lee Park Avenue every Saturday morning with my mum for the paraffin. Winters were brutal but somehow great at the same time. It was the best of times etc.

Happy days. I had a friend at school who fell out of a mini whilst his dad was going too fast around a roundabout. He was fine but his mum went crazy.

Cancer survival rates.

 

Actually, medicine in general just amazes me. I mean, keyhole surgery; how good is that?

Personally think the war on cancer has been utterly abysmal. It was the scourge of everything when I was a kid, you didn’t even say the word it was simply called the big C. This was several lifetimes ago, I can’t believe that to this day it’s still a major threat to life. I continue to see so many people dying of it even after all this time, I don’t think it’s been a success at all.

Dartboards- 80s boards had really thick wires and staples.

 

Barely visible now.

Anything electrical used to be absolutely terrifying. No circuit breakers so you could get a really nasty shock or even be killed by a humble domestic appliance. I used to live in terror of the 3 bar electric fire.

Shops opening on Sundays and 24 hour supermarkets. The amount of times we’ve needed some shit or other and voila, it’s now available outside of 8-5 Monday to Saturday.
