What stuff from the past do you lament?

Mine are:
Trebor mints
Secret Bars
Spangles.

Are Wagon Wheels smaller or did our mouths get bigger?

You can still get Trebor mints.

I miss old Discos when they'd practically burn your tongue they were so salt and vinegary

Pears Soap before Unilever got there hands on it.

I have not seen the mints in years. I will be more vigilant in my searching! These days, you are lucky if your Disco remotely tastes vinegary. I used to love the concentrated flavour at the bottom of the packet.

Kurt Cobain's suicide, there was so much more great music to come from him.

Justin Biebers birth. He's a poor example of evolutions propensity to spawn talented people.

The time I had to hand in my Civic Type R. Loved that car.

Oh, I also miss the big one Mars Bar, none of this split 2 bar rubbish

That thread title instantly made me think of this tune from 1977! Never realised it was that old, almost as old as me! :eek:

Cappuccino pepsi

Was the bomb

Red Dwarf episodes which looked clearly under a strict budget and added to the comedy of 4 clearly quite crap men trapped on a crap ship in space, struggling to be under average human beings

Spangles still posts, the very odd time...

He got an ice pick
That made his ears burn

Whatever happened to dear old Lenny?
The great Elmyra,
And Sancho Panza?

They watched their Rome burn

Music for me in the 90s was fantastic.

I miss all friends (and sometimes family) going to nightclubs and just having a good time.

Care free days of just playing football all day and not worrying about tomorrow.

Computers. A revolutionary time in technology and gaming and I went pretty much all the way through it. From Arcade Machines to Binotones, Spectrums, C64s, Amigas, etc. some fantastic times.

Quantum Leap - seriously they need to do a 'proper' ending.

X-Files - sadly series 10 hasn't been as good as I'd have hoped. They've moved to a more 'fun' X-Files when all along it was the intrigue and fantastic dialogue that made the series. Again needs to be finished 'properly'.

Think that will do for now.
