Reminiscing with mates about big nights out in the past and it making me shudder. The thought of staying out until 7am and doing some class A's absolutely horrifies me now.

Was watching that Simon Pegg film World's End last night and they pull that feeling off that I get sometimes of 'nights out will never be as good as that again.' No real responsibilities, when you go out you know everyone, there's always a bird you're keeping your eyes out for, places were busier then too. Also some of the daft shit seemed funnier, when we were bladdered we used to steel for sale signs and put them in a mate's front garden. Our record was 24.

I’m just glad the shit that me and my mates got up to wasn’t videoed on a mobile phone and posted all over social media like the modern generation do.

Quite. I'd almost certainly be in prison.

I have mates who still do it despite being married with kids. Madness. 

 

Nowadays when it gets to 11.30pm I start twitching in case I'm going to miss out on my sleep.

Everyone was single or, at least, in a relationship that didn't really matter. The idea of going out with the intention of getting pretty drunk, all with girlfriends just seems like a complete waste of time. Properly British (or at least Northern European) thing this. Probably part of the reason we have so many fights on nights out in the UK. Nights out were primitive.

I remember as a child the thought of how old I’d be in 2000 made my blood run cold

My favourite joint purchase of the last year is a new non stick frying pan. The eggs just slip slide around in it. It's quite beautiful to behold.

Same here. It was some kind of landmark that passed like an F1 car.

Teflon has killed millions of Americans. You’re basically Hitler, but worse.

If Hitler could fry eggs as good as me, you'd be round to the bunker quicker than you could say lebenseggs.

Storyville doc, wasn’t it? You should get onto the Waco one that Dougie posted about in the documentary thread last night. ‘‘Tis very good and it’s only the first half of a two part doc. I love a bit of Waco.

Teeth literally crumbling away in my mouth when I had a chewy sweet over xmas.

Now that is sad.

 

When you get over the eggs sliding around in your non-stick frying pan, might I suggest you acquire a totally different beast: a pressure cooker?  Cauliflower never tasted so good.  Plus it cooks at the same time as carrots underneath it.  Now that is a beautiful thing.

I'm thinking an air fryer next. I'm told they make delicious yet healthy chips.

Yes , if you get the right chips, the right (small) amount of oil and the right timing they are gorgeous.

 

The chunky triple-cooked chips from the Tesco Finest range were probably the nicest things I had ever eaten when done in the air-fryer.
