A Sunday Feeling

It was always hairwash night. We only had one of those push on the tap shower things and had to lean over the bath.

 

I recall, on one occasion, the water must have been too hot, because the hose blew up like a balloon and burst.

I was always last in the bath. My dad caught me topping the hot water up once and nearly elevated through the window

I wouldn't get my hair washed once and cried uncontrollably when my mum said she was going to tell Terry from Minder.

I've been trying to explain this to a friend but unsure whether it's just me or if anyone else ever felt this way about Sundays. 

 

Growing up, I always thought Sundays had a really weird relaxation/nostalgia feeling about them. Around midday you'd all settle down and there'd always be some film on whether it be a old film, a disney classic or something else. There'd always be this kind of music at accompanied it: https://youtu.be/hYs1OY28atE?t=25

 

You'd watch the film (no matter how shite it was) and wait for tea, stuff your face and catch another film or two. You'd always have this nice feeling before the dread of Monday hit in the evening. 

 

The only day that matched that was Christmas after everyone's pissed and fucked off home. 

I would suggest the consensus is you're on your own here brother. 

Sunday tv was shit. Church was shit. Sunday roast with cheap fatty meat was shit. School/work next day was shit.

I think my mum spoiled me with baths as I'd always have the water to a cm below the overflow thing under the tap. I went to stay at my dads once and he ran me a bath - water barely covered my balls. Turned the tap back on only to be told to stop wasting water and get in the fucking puddle. 

 

Fucking stinge.

I like your Dad.

Sunday morning/early afternoon tele felt like it went on for about a fortnight and was the most dull programing to a young lad

God! So much religious shite to put up with, the worst being 'highway' with that fat Harold Bishop lookalike. The new statesman was worth staying up for, that's the only decent TV I remember.

Working shifts Sunday is the best day of the week. 
 

Beer and bacon rolls for breakfast. Nice walk with the dogs, then spend the day cooking a roast with beers listening to TMS, watching a game, having the roast in the evening and passing out about 12.

I fucking hated it when I went to a Mon-Fri job when I started 7 o’clock every morning. 
 

The alarm going off 6am on a Monday morning would often make me cry.

It was all very depressing too, fucking hated Sundays as a kid.

[Bruce Spanner]

There is not enough invective in the world to convey how much I fucking hated hearing the Heartbeat theme tune.

 

Thats when the dread descended and you knew that was it, it was over, school was coming.

 

You had about an hour before the shite was over and you were sent to bed to stare at the ceiling in bleak despondency knowing that tomorrow was waking up early to go to a place you hated.

 

Still get a Pavlovian response of deep ennui now years later just thinking about it, and it was shit.

Alf Ventress is one of my heroes.

I always assumed this is how this thread would play out.

 

T throwing hands over Heartbeat and holding court like a gentler version of Rico in the Trans thread, batting off all comers with his easy charm, whimsy and systemic knowledge of Sunday evening TV.

I can remember when channel 4 used to do a late night European film on a Sunday night. It was some art film bollocks and was introduced by some twat with a harsh Scottish/Northern Irish accent. 
 

The night they showed Betty Blue I wanked so hard and so much I went into school on the Monday morning with blisters.

Used to love lipstick on your collar too.

Louise Germaine was outstanding.

[TD_LFC]

Friday Night/Saturday (Saturday morning in particular) are the best period. Sunday is just the slow creeping inevitability towards Monday (nobody enjoys the Sunday fear).

[Fugitive]

The fear that The darling buds of bastarding May, Heartbeat and Londons fucking burning used to stir up still haunts me now.

 

Sundays started off with footy at 9am, home for my roast dinner and football Italia or the F1 and then out with my mates for a bit. All good until the stages of hell came on the tele and your world collapsed around you and school was just hours away.
