im 25 in a couple of weeks, probably only really gonna live to 50. so i should also be part of this, right?

Bit regional this I suspect, but Sunday afternoons just before the ITV footy highlights, Indoor League presented by Fred Trueman, featuring competition

Shove Ha'penny
Pool
That skittles with a ball on a chain thing

Looking at the present rather than past:
-Three kids
-Spacewagon
-Nice house on a hill in a quiet suburb
-Same employer for ten years
-Same girl for twenty years
-Graying
-Balding
-Hating stupid hippies who lack perspective
-Hating current shallow popular culture selling the same thing all over again
-Having a beer every two months
-...

and not even forty yet.

And this... Swapped for a one dollar bill to buy chewing gum and a tin of coke.

I still remember their smell.

One of the most exciting things to happen, ever...

Started my fixation with the SAS. I later went out with a bird who's Dad orchestrated the whole thing and he was one of the top boys in the SAS! WELL REAM!

School disco's that had spiked punch.
