You were too young to remember those days Samuel, and living with a sepponese for over a decade does have an effect.

I tried to find a pic of Wogan with his face obscuring the 'AN' in the neon sign, but failed.
They must have been giving that "fughin' hoor's melt from fughin' Limerick", as my dad called him, stage directions in order not to inadvertently offend.

Dole paid anywhere in the country.
You could pick up a days work just by chatting in pubs if you wanted it. (Not what you're thinking, deviants)

We used to slip tabs under the eyelids of folk who fell asleep at parties. Yes it did happen (people falling asleep at parties and people being "eyeballed") and no it was neither big nor clever.

No mobile phones. Having to buy drugs by actually knowing people and where they live - or visiting dodgy areas in Manchester etc..
I'm pretty certain I paid £20 for a blue capsule in 90, wasn't overly impressed TBH, so went back to my speed and acid for another couple of years

Ugh can ye imagine not having mobiles phones now? When i first had me mobile in 2000 i could say i easily sent out 100 txt daily. Didn't everyone? It was such the "in" thing to do, the new way of socialising. Would ye say that internet / mobile phone have killed socialising, the real socialising as we knew it?
I have a love hate relationships with mobile phones

Definitely! Nobody talks anymore. You just see groups of kids staring at their phones ignoring each other - though tbh, 'adults' are just as bad these days (sez he ignoring his family whilst posting bollocks on his mobile phone)....

Yea I'm one of them lol. When we first have our phones my friends irl n i would have competitions who could text the most. Sad looking back on it but was a novelty thing.

Never understood the concept of buying mushrooms... Half the fun was going out and picking them yerself (though I swear there used to be more in the 80s than there are now..)

I had my first mobile phone in 1995 (company issue of course). I used to hide when it rang in the street coz I didn't want to look like a fuckin yuppie prick...

On the (very) rare occasions I've been out for dinner at a pub or similar in recent years I'm rather saddened to see people sat around a table together in silence with the only sound being lil bleeps and boings from their phones. Went for dinner at local pub with family for my b'day a couple years back and the people on the table across from us were doing just that. Parents and kids seemed quite happy existing in their own separate phonezone worlds but the grandmother (who had no phone) didn't seem so happy sat twiddling her thumbs. I wouldn't say modern communication technology has killed socialising but it is changing the way people socialise and people who are not swept along with it can be left behind - this may or may not be fine by them but it does seem to be just plain ignorant to be so wrapped up in your device(s) that you choose not to interact with people physically present even in situations where you've clearly gone out to spend time together.
Depends how much you're getting through tho - I was ploughing through 15 dried grams every week for years on end

Ah, that would have taken some dedication admittedly...

I've never been that fussed about picking 'em myself - not an early riser by nature, nor a fan of trudging round damp fields trying to avoid stroppy farmers with shotguns. I did greatly enjoy growing my own mushies when it became especially easy to do so during that period where some bright spark realised there was a loophole in the law that allowed sale and purchase of fresh shrooms and related matters, I'd like to get back into growing my own cos I do like me a mushy (or few) and did enjoy seeing the lil blighters grow before my very eyes.

No need to be an early riser mate, they last for more than a few hours
I used to pose as a mycology student and pick 'samples' off people's front lawns - that's after I'd picked our school field dry of course...
