FOR THE OVER 50’S WHO ARE PIS*ED OFF I HOPE THIS WILL MAKE YOU SMILE
Just for a minute forget everything stressful in life and read on………………..
Let your mind drift back in time, before the Internet, computers and Apple Mac’s. Before semi-automatics, Subaru’s, joy riding and crack cocaine even before SEGA or Super Nintendo. We are talking way back!
To a time of hide and seek in the park
The corner shop
Hopscotch
Skipping
Handstands
Football with an old tin can
Finger bobs
The Beano, Dandy, Buster, and Dennis the menace
Rolly Poly
Hula Hoops (Not the one’s you eat)
The smell of sun on fresh cut grass
Bazooka Joe bubble gum
Watching Sunday Morning cartoons…..Short commercials, the Double Decker’s, Road Runner, He Man, The Magic Roundabout, The Wacky Races, Popeye, Swapshop and Why Don’t You and being allowed to stay up to watch Doctor Who.
When around the corner seemed far away and going to town felt like you were going somewhere.
When nobody owned their own house and being on the property ladder meant you had built a den or tree house.
Your street was the best adventure playground in the world.
Earwigs, Wasps, Stinging Nettles and Bee stings.
Sticky Fingers, Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, Zorro and Climbing Trees.
Walking to school no matter what the Weather.
Running till you were out of breath and getting the stitch, Laughing so hard that your belly hurt.
Jumping on a bed, Pillow Fights, Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was a cause for giggles and being tired from playing…….. Starting to remember?
The Worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.
Water Balloons were an ultimate weapon of war.
Playing cards in the spokes of your bike transforming it into a Motorcycle.
Choppers and Grifters
Eating Raw Jelly
Orange squash ice pops
And We’re not finished yet!
Remember when there was two types of Trainers………Girls and Boys…And Dunlop green was flash and the only time you could wear them was in PE at School.
You knew everybody in your street and so did your parents.
It wasn’t odd to have Three best friends.
You slept a wink on Christmas eve.
When nobody owned a pure bred dog.
When 25p was very very good pocket money.
When you would reach into a muddy gutter for a dropped penny.
When everybody’s mum was at home when the kids returned from school.
When it was a real treat to go out to dinner at a real restaurant.
You only when to the cinema once in a blue moon.
When a parent could discipline a kid, or feed them, or use them to carry shopping and nobody, not even the kid thought a thing of it.
When being sent to the heads office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited you when you got home.
Basically we were in fear for our lives but it had nothing to do with Drive-by-shootings, Drugs, or Gangs.
Your parents were a much bigger threat! And some of us are still afraid of them!!
Remember When……….
All-important decisions were made doing “IP DIP DOG SH*T”
Race issues were about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in Monopoly.
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was germs, and the worst part of the day was to have to sit by one.
It was unbelievable that British Bulldogs was not an Olympic event.
Having a weapon in school was to be caught with your catapult.
Nobody was prettier than your Mum.
Scrapes and Bruises were kissed and instantly better.
Drug taking meant Orange flavour chewable Aspirin.
Ice cream was a basic food group and not the devil.
A foot of snow was a dream come true.
Older siblings were your worst tormentor but also your fiercest defenders.
If you can remember these things then you have LIVED
And all you can do is feel sorry for the poor saps that grow up these days……
STILL FEELING PIS*ED OFF? BET YOUR SMILING
