i remember sitting on my daddy's lap and driving an imaginary car, i also remember sitting on my mummies lap on the front seat, without a seat belt whilst my dad drove a real car.
i remember we bought fish and chips from the chippy wrapped in yesterday's newspapers.
i remember bouncing up and down on my space hopper in the garden.
Why did I start this thread?
A) Today I went to the second hand shop to purchase a " tape deck"
Why?
The main reason In the " Eighties" I was in Covent Garden and a busker was playing and selling his music on " tape". He was brilliant and his songs were about his life. Without buying the " tape deck" today I would never hear again "SARI: Peartree in the Wilderness by Kai Jansen, a busker in the 80s who sang and wrote about his life and greatest love.

Rebelfighter:- thanks your post made starting the O.P worthwhile.
Tornapart, thanks for bringing back to my memory the " school caps". I had forgotten all about having to wear the thing and having to retrieve it daily from the bushes after it had been taken from my head by the class bully.

Well " DJS" you changed the picture of Victoria, but the image is still the same, her smile is still one of greed and I hope we are both lucky and intelligent men, who have chosen before anything else the truthful portrayal of love. I know this is true of you because you have mentioned in your previous posts you are dating (if memory serves correct a Hindu lady)
Getting back on topic, if a man can live a happy life with his wife and their offspring can live on happily after our death, then maybe that's enough, so let all the religiouse charlatans and polititions go to hell.

I am English Stan. More importantly I believe it was in the 80s personalized number plates became a fashion. I say this because I love your Avetor a car number plate " 666 XJW" that's cool.
Giles Gray, yes Fawlty Towers, but some of the ( only 12 episodes were made) are as degrading to women as Benny Hill or On The Buses. Dads Army is still a fun show though.

p.s I still love Benny Hill, but my wife objects.

The only thing real about Victoria are her hands, those of a 55 year old woman, sadly exploiting religion with an expensive Diamond ring on her finger to show for it . Why? because people buy into her ministry/ cosmetic surgery. Give me my wife anyday.

i read the word "spiritual" sometimes on the site.
what exactly do the jw's mean by it ?.
Q) What do jehovers witnesses mean by spiritual ?
A) I remember I asked this question when I was on the ministry with a special pioneer. I always remembered his answer because it seemed to have nothing to do with " spiritual" . His answer was " STICKABILITY". Seemed more like " CONFORMITY" to me.

And as the decade grew, I also grew up and I remember how I secretly collected the page 3 pictures from the sun newspaper of topless women....but most of all I remember my first love. Well it was a kind of puppy love, we never even spoke, but I fell in love for the first time and still remember her name.
What nostalgic memories do you have from your first memorable decade of life?

" the most important thing in the olympic games is not to win but take part" .
yet according to the daily mail, the entire russian olympic team will today be banned from competing at the rio games next month as punishment for their country's state sponsored doping programme.
it therefore seems to me the olympics has become associated with doping & drugs, and politics becoming an integral part of the games.. do you think that the 2016 olympcs can still unite countries in a positive way?.
Breaking News, the daily mail got it wrong and Russia will be allowed to send a team to Brazil. So to clarify:-State dopping is OK and dopping has pretty much been authorized by the IOC. So much for a clean Olympics. Let's just get rid of the Olympis.

i think i'm just ornery when it comes to equality.
ever since i can remember, i've always believed that all people were created equal.
the colour of a person's skin is irrelevent to me.
However I think it should be noted that " Political Correctness Gone Mad" is a term popularised by the newspapers to sell newspapers. These stories are often blown out of all proportion.
Please tell me who was trying to ban England shirts during the Euros? Who will be trying to ban Chistmas this year? Who says Iam not allowed to sing " Baa, Baaa, Blacksheep?
The Answer:- The Newspapers. And because it's in the Newspaper it doesn't make it true, and if a story has an element of truth, it's because it's usually largely exaggerated.

Has politically correct culture gone too far?- YES, but this would be said by most generations. However in my opinion I believe today Its killing freedom of Speech in Western Universities, and at my boys infant school crazy hair day was banned. Nonetheless in my opinion if an individual or a group do not like to be referred to by a certain term, we should respect their wishes.
