Hey all! Hope your all well, just stopping by as I seem to have gotten all the sleep I'm going to get for the night! :)
 
Someone drank all his duty free booze on the flight and got a bit giddy, I dont think the yanks were too impressed. Anyway seems a little excessive to gag the fucker.

^^^^

By all accounts it was his fellow travellers that restrained him:D

I used to like a drink on long haul flights to deal with the claustrophobia and anxiety but people who get shit faced and start being abusive are a pain. I got stuck next to a guy from Denmark on the way to the states once who started drinking at a stupid pace, got properly pissed then kicked off when they wouldn't serve him any more booze.

Made an 8 hour nightmare even worse, in future I'll be taking a roll of duck tape;)
 
Phone boxes were cool man. You can't play 'how many people can we fit into a mobile phone' can you?

We never even had a phone at home when I was a kid (not completely uncommon in the 70's). Everything was done in the phone box down the road. Ridiculously I can still remember the number. Every call was free. You either repeatedly hit the silver bits on top, or, if that failed, ring the operator and say you've lost your money and they'd put you through for free, usually wandering off forgetting they'd done it so you talked forever. And if they did cut you off, your friend would ring you back. Which is how I remember the number still. It was my phone.

Hoax calls, the lot. Try doing that regularly on your mobile and see what happens to you.

And if you missed phone boxes of course, you missed proper MDMA.

Must be shit being young.
 
Phone boxes now that's when drugs were proper;)

Found a good few £ in em as well usually when someone has phoned their dealer n left their cash n the phone no. behind in haste to get their smack .

edit

Actually thinking about it i've found a good few £100 in em over the years found £200 in one of those small black faux leather purse things back yonder , Fukin Love Phone Boxes <3
 
Pah, that's nothing. We used to have proper old school raves in our phone boxes. The scene was great in those days. :)

Young 'uns, missed out on decent pills and decent raves. I'd just kill myself out of jealousy if I hadn't been born in the 60s/early 70s.
 
Our's jus stink of piss and usually have either whole or thrown-up takeaway in them :|

Morning all <3

Meds washed down with Desperados and I'm off to my mate's to have an "old skool boys night" involving a meal, some booze, maybe some other substances, an N64 and multiplayer Super Smash Bros. ;)
Been up all night though so I'm not sure how my stamina will take to it. Forgot to get a flatjack when I went to drop my repeat off and get said Desperados :X
Didn't eat yesterday and I've only had some of those mini-chedders-but-actual-normal-size-ones and a slice of toast since.

Hope you all have a lovely Caturday! <3
 
I'm sure the more dishonest amongst us knew how to rig them (and ticket machines) with a match stick so the coins weren't returned ;)

boxes of cash just sitting around unattended were never going to last I suppose. I wonder if anyones done a 'pop cult' book on phoneboxes yet, would be an interesting subject and you could get some good interviews.

i briefly worked for the national phone company in ireland back in 1999 doing DQ. i used to use a phonebox to order drugs back then sometimes if credit was tight and call 10 get the operator and say phone swallowed my pound coin.
Not exactly a trade secret as shm has pointed out.
Jasus if you phoned the operator these days they would probably laugh in your face for not having a mobile.

When my parents moved into their newly built house in 1976 they were the only house on the street that were hooked up with a phone yet neighbours used to call in and ask to make phonecalls lol

Afternoon, all :)

Phone boxes: Haven't used one in a yonk or two. Last time I did it cost over two quid for all of about a minute's conversation. I know calling a mobile from a pay phone has always been pricey but it wasn't that long ago that 20p was enough to call yer dealer with just enough time to put in an order and arrange where to meet. Costs more than that just to be on the line long enough to get to the second ring now :\

There's only one phonebox left in town now. Used to be two but t'other one has been removed. Which seems a bit harsh. Cutthroat world is the world of public telephony.
 
We got 3 brand new red ones right by the newly renovated Train Station Not seen them anywhere else b4 . I think they just put them their for Japanese tourists to take photos with , that's the sort of thing that happens where i live.
 
I can clearly remember it being 2p to make a call from a phonebox.

We used 'em a lot before getting our very own telephone circa 1975
 
Yowzers! Can see where the "aging" part of your username came from, Fiend =D;)<3

Suspect I have very few years wiggle room to avoid utter hypocrisy on agedness mockery though :D

I don't remember when we first got a phone in the house. I do recall it being quite a "thing" though. As a household, we were often somewhat lagging in terms of consumer electronics and gadgetry, mind. We were probably the last family on the estate to get colour telly and to switch from Betamax to VHS. Probably the first to get a home computer (rubber-keyed 48k Spectrum (complete with tiny printer and (very) small selection of games all in a distinctly cheap-looking vinyl-covered carrycase) pretty much the day it was released) though so swings and roundabouts, eh? :)
 
we're all ageing....minute by minute....second by second....the inexorable crawl towards the grave

actually considering a fresh account as kinda defined myself by the 'ageing' prefix and am starting to believe it (tho it is of course true aagghh)

aint in me 70's or owt....mid 40's crew (midlifecrisispartyfiend)
 
Aye. Was but a-joshing, fellow fiend of mine <3

If you really are considering changing your account you may as well while the postcount is low. I fukkin loathed my original username - the fact that mods can change their username was probably the deciding factor in me applying for the modstick a few years back. Suspect it's a fairly common irritant for many BLers - you sign up to ask a question one day with some throwaway handle only to find yourself cursing the fact you've still got said username a few years down the line and cos everybody has known you by that name for ages you don't feel up to killing off the account just to change it 8)

Not that I'm saying you should change your username or owt. Is a fine choice of username... if somewhat aging ;)

And ya, I'm fairly sure we're of similar vintage. Aside from the fact you got your first home phone the year I was borne 8(;)=D
 
@Shambles....yeman, I knows you were jesting<3

Have been fooked off with the username for a while...and twas a bit like you said...I wasn't thinking I'd be around much, not really being a forum-type-being.

I kinda like it here though and may well stick around, but don't wanna see 'ageing' every time I look at the site!

So, am gonna begin to consider regeneration, Dr Who stylee

Oh, and have only got a decade or so on you anyway matey, and time flies when you're having fun=D
