Early 2000s, was but a wee child and nothing seemed complicated and nothing was expected of me.

And no, let the past stay in the past

It’s not the nostalgia that you need to worry about. I’ve heard that reincarnation is making a comeback.

I think is a child my upbringing was so different to now…. We didn’t have phones or internet so played out a lot more and went out all days on our bikes with packed lunches for dinner…… I think I have lived an amazing era seeing the launch of the internet and how far technology has come but wasn’t life so simple back then …..

The Hunter gatherer times. We had much less stress, more leisure time and generally lived healthy and I imagine happy lives.

But weren't we afraid of being hunted? And famine?

It's hard to be accurate about the lives of early humans but it's possible the risks of being hunted were no more than the risks of our modern lives, and famines increased with the agricultural revolution as we were less self reliant.

The book Sapiens by Yuval Harsh is very good on this period.

1. Never existed. People are and always will be c###s. All that changes is the social acceptance of different behaviors.

2. Nothing, see above.

3. Any time machine would only ever be able to travel forward in time, never back. The second law of thermodynamics says this is impossible. Even if I would, I couldn't.

They were the days when hardware was something that you got at the iron mongers, and the only software around was located between old men's legs before viagara was invented, when it was also hip for a guy to take a lady out who had gone to a bit of trouble to look her best, and not expect her to have a pocket calculator in her handbag to work out her share of the tab. Age of chivalry and all that.

When myself and my former used to regularly meet with a lovely couple whom we trusted, in a time before Covid, lockdowns, restrictions, supply chain shortages, etc.

But they will return, next year!

Yes, but in those days women were more inclined to behave in ways just to please men I think.

1. 1987 - 1992

2. I loved the music. There were some great films. I was starting to go to pubs and live a more adult life. Everything was new. Beer was £1 a pint.

3. Yeah, I'd love to go back for a visit.

Probaly between ages of 17 and 20 were my best days. Freedom from school, ability to drive, no relationship, bit of money from working. All the ambition and dreams still to be realised. Not sure I could be arsed to go back though.
