I’m sick of the doom and gloom so let’s have those memories from your childhood/youth that bring a tear to your eye, or a smile, or a chuckle

The Kia Ora add at the flicks “too orangey for crows”

Earth people peeled their own potatoes with their metal knives, boiled them for twenty of their minutes, then smashed them all to bits

When I was a young lad I was only kid around who had unrestricted access to the internet.

So, I started a little hustle...

I used to buy a box of floppy disks and load them with softcore porn pics and sell them for £5 each.

I was making £50 a week which was a lot of money back then.

Kerbsie on the side road with my best friend.

Running for the ice cream man in the evening after dinner.

Walking to school in fog.
