Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted March 29, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Christmas - The sheer piss yourself excitement that every small child has for Christmas is probably unmatched by everything. I was never spoilt as a kid, but Christmas was always fucking great. Nothing can top it. Â Summer Holidays - 6 weeks off school in the occasional sunshine. watching Bug Juice and Catdog on Channel 4 in the morning, hours of playing football and fox and hounds on the mountain and camping. Replaced later on with cheap cider and trying to get off with the girls that hung round with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RepoMan Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I miss how much better collecting stuff was as a kid. Swapping stickers to put in albums, cards, Pogs and shit like that. Â Now it's a bit geeky to collect stuff as an adult, and just not as fun. Oh for the simple pleasure of getting a shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 KNOWING that your wildest dreams were going to come true. Â The adult, corollary, realisation is to KNOW that, as a child, you were an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mojo Rising Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Another thing wrestling on TV on a Friday Night. It use to be great flipping between Nitro and Raw. I never actually went out on a Friday because of this (well that the Rugby League on SKY) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Total Package Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Going round my various friends almost every night to play N64 Goldeneye, none of this online crap sitting in a room on your own. 4player Goldeneye and Mario Kart is awesome fun and laughs.  Same with Quake 2 on the psone, had just as much fun as Bond.  Arcades - the SF2/MK/Neo Geo Era  Summer Holidays - Playing Football and Basketball all day in the park.  Random Bike journeys with friends.  80s 90s TV- I used to watch everything back then from gameshows to neighbours, cartoons, wrestling etc, these days I only turn my TV on for MOTD.  SMTV stuff like Going Live, Ghost Train etc.  Jumping Trains and going on mad flexes to meet girls.  Friends that I no longer see and will probably never see again.  Having leagues on Pro Evo psone when we are all gathered at a friends house.  Paper air planes, there were some official ones I cant remember their names, you would buy them like stickers in a pack and then put them together and then throw them about, I loved those things.  School Lunch Boxes, sounds daft but I used to love putting stickers from either WWF/WCW all over them.  Conker battles at school, fuck me this was the shit back then, dunno if kids still do that, but back then everyone at school was doing that, people would go to great lengths to have the ultimate conker, I even freezed some of mine ha.

Max Power Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'm depressed now. Â Reading all this makes me realise how good my childhood was, and how I've pretty much wasted the last ten years of my life. Â Wank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyc Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I remember the Pog wars of 1995, seemingly everyone had a box they would carry around to house their Pog collection. I remember the fights that would break out over them, one of them being outside of my house when one of the kids in the year above me was pissed off with another for trying to trade me some Pogs that he claimed were stolen from him. For that time period it seemed like Pogs were the only thing in life that mattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And tandoori.  Didn't have much of a childhood, Bombers?  Had a great one, barring school.  Personally, I'd say the best time of my life was around 18-19 years old; life still felt like it had possibilities, I wasn't yet jaded, I was still enjoying being young, but was also enjoying the new experiences of adult life. Was probably at my healthiest too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovanist Pig Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 To take a couple of Rick's, I'll also say My Nana and Granddad, and playing football all time whenever anyone was free. Other things I miss include SMTV Live, playing with toys and not having a care in the world. Â All of this. Weekends seemed a lot more special and time passed a lot more slower. I miss being careless and free of judgement the most. Â I also miss my dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RepoMan Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thinking back, I have absolutely no fucking idea what I did with such long summer holidays, but I'd love them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
