Having to go into a shop to get porn......

Forgot to mention....... Facebook and Twitter..

Petrol that cost less than £1 a litre!
Big Brother though i think thats a good thing

Going to the store, and seeing something you like, then having to go to a BANK to get the money, wait in line, write a check and drive back to the store. If my son (7) asks for something and i say not now, i don't have the money he says, "we'll use the plastic thing" If I say no, there's no money there, he says, "Mommies probably has some" yeah all mine.

Smoking on airplanes

Smoking anywhere. Restaurants, bars, hell they even ban the shit in some outdoor places now.

Vinyl records are still produced and sold today for DJ's. So that one doesn't work.

I'm 27 but a lot of the stuff you guys are mentioning is making me feel young as hell so keep it up.

I like this one - hated not being able to go in a bar without it stinking...
Nothing against smokers - but they smell places out terribly

Yeah well i smoked up until about two years ago, and now I hate it when i go somewhere and it smells of smoke, so i had the best of both worlds imo, I could smoke indoors when it was legal, and now i don't have to deal with it.

$5.00 in my pocket and I could buy a 6 pack and enough gas to drive around all night. Riding the bus to school with a shotgun in a case, giving it to my home room teacher to store in his closet, and going hunting after school. Without ending up in jail like today! The thing I miss the most is young firm titties and pussy so tight it made you feel like a porn star! Nothing better.

Carbureted outboard motors. Shit, carbureted motors period. Actually having to diagnose mechanical problems without just hooking it up to a computer.

Anti social behaviour being called crime where it is deserved
