FabSwingers.com forum: What Have You Not Seen Or Heard Of In Ages

Apart from the obvious white dog shit which I’m sure is something to do with additives in dog food, what have you not seen or heard of in ages?

I’ve just been watching something and they were discussing a guy who was a pyromaniac. Now that’s not a crime/illness/affliction whatever you want to label it, that you really hear of these days.

What makes you go Fuck yeah I’d forgotten about that!

There and to the left a bit

Given that it's not far away - kids doing "Penny For The Guy" - not seen or heard of it (understandably so) since the 1970s

Likewise Bob-A-Job Week again understandably so.

Live by the sea and especially this time of year it does roll in now and then.

I do miss the proper foghorn though, they replaced it with some crappy thing

Proper bonfires either. Are you actually still allowed to have them.

We use to go collecting wood, pinching them from other gangs too, for weeks before the big night

The Papa & Nicole ads, for the Renault Clio were inspired by a scene in a French porno. Both Father and daughter had passed each other in the brothel's corridor and said those infamous two words. Fact or fiction it makes for a good legend. Whereas Nicole makes a good...how's your Father?
