For all you over 35s read this

I might be missing the point here. When you were a kid you walked everywhere, ate dirt, coudn't go to the shop whenever you wanted and couldn't buy cool things all year, you had to fashion past-times out of castoff crap and virtually everything you did with your free time was potentially lethal, yet your parents were too busy smoking, eating and drinking themselves to death to give a rat's arse that their kids had swallowed bottles of medicine, been run over by a train or snatched by some creep because they weren't capable of crossing the road by themselves? Thank **** I wasn't born back then.

Say what you like, but German is a beautiful language and they odn't have any problems getting their wheelie bins collected. I'd leave it another 50 years before you settle on deciding you did us a favour :P

German is about the ugliest language ever devised. How many decent german poets are there? about a dozen. :p

Great if you like German Industrial Metal, but as for beauty, stick to Italian, French and English.:p

I don't have any problem having my wheelie bins collected either. The fines for non-recycling in Germany are pretty prohibitive also.:p
 
I remember as a child playing with K'nex building robots like Robot Wars and getting a few mates round and having matches with them.

Now? Well I have an iPhone to occupy me. As awesome as it is I want those years back.

I'm 20. :)
 
Some of the youngsters in here seem to be taking this list way too seriously.
Denying us our rose tinted glasses - for shame! You'll be wearing your own sooner than you think ;)
 
I'm 27 - already I'm envious of my nephew for being able to grow up in today's world. Fantastic. No doubt he'll be envious of the generation after his. Generation after that will probably have to deal with giant killer bees though, so it goes downhill a bit there.
