Hand-drawn animation.

Skinned knees/elbows. (too many safety pads… where are the bleeding children?)

Ha, ha… We don’t have thatched roofs here in FL. They are not really made from the most practical building materials to withstand hurricane force winds.

Naples? Key West? Sanibel?

I lived there for thirteen years, I know I was stoned, but not the whole time!

Kids saying, no sir and yes sir etc…

The others have already been said..

Have you considered becoming a monk?

Things that seem to be lost..

1. kids playing outdoors (fishing, building forts, playing tackle football)
Seems (like Xeno said) that fear of physical injury and predators has taken the outdoors away from kids. Building a linerider animation just isn’t the same as building a fort out of small trees and brush in woods. But wait, a hatchet might tempt someone with self-injury. And we used to play tackle football, sometimes in the rain and mud. You might say that Wii doesn’t impress me much.

2. walking to school
Before there seemed to be a perv around every corner, parents could let their kids walk to school if it wasn’t more than twenty miles uphill though the snow (I may exaggerate).

3. those huge Christmas tree light bulbs that were so prone to burning down houses. Okay I don’t really miss those that much.

1) Friendly people.
2) Kind-hearted people.
3) Happy people.

I can’t think of any right now. This is all I have in my mind~

1) kids actually applying themselves to school, its as rare as a rainbow in the sahara desert
2) young man that dress properly, seriously if their pants don’t sag its a disgrace to their manhood probable, which i doubt they hav

3) umm people mailing people by post, its all by electronics

gone are:

Typewriters,
Hugh volumes of Encyclopedia’s in the Family Bookcase.
The Family Bookcase!

ps I still like to hold hands any chance I get :)

Oh I miss writing letters and having penpals, I guess this is closest I get to having a penpal abroad nowadays, I used to have such pretty pink writing paper, oh and me and my boyfriend still hold hands, stops me falling over mostly

um…

upright pianos, white dog $#!t and those ‘bags’ of ribena that tasted 10000 times better than ordinary ribena…

1)Chivalry - I just got off the bus,when i got on with 8 bags of groceries the guy went first.ARGH 2)Ice Cubes Candy.If u dont know its chocolate squares that melt in your mouth and are best when cold.3) Dogs and Cats- where I live I rarely hear or see a dog.B4 the leash law they were everywhere.4) Tv shows with good family values like when I grew up like Gentle Ben,Brady Bunch, The Andy Griffith Show to name a few.

OOPs, sorry Cody, seen it after the fact.

Oooo,ooo, ooo i forgot to mention PDA Public displays of Affection which reminds me of Drive in movies,now those were the (fun) days

Oh I miss Chivalry so much but thats our fault for wanting equality in the first plave it kind of killed the notion of Chivalry and romance I think, oh and I miss the Afam and Joe show

Honest politicians!

Dougie you know its only early in the morning 6 30 and you gave me another idea for another Song Thanks Guys!!!
You don’t see anymore
Milkman coming to your Door
Walking to where you need to go
Friendly People,happy People
All that i miss and more
verse 2…

Hmm..

1. Sit down dinners every night with the family.

2. Playing board games (also as a family).

3. Ice cream trucks or (as we referred to them) “dickie dees” on bicycles selling ice cream in the summer.

Those student crossing guards to help kids cross the road at certain points outside public primary schools. With the bright orange jackets and lollipop sticks.

Oddbodz & Space Oddbodz (Only Australians in the 90’s would remember them).

Good classic T.V sitcom re-runs. The original Addams Family, Gilligan’s Island, Thunderbirds, My Three Sons, Different Strokes, The Honeymooners, the list goes on. Cable showings don’t count.

really you forgot the Man at the Petrol Browser.

hahahaha, my dentist has one of those… lmfao

i would have to say,

glass soda bottles with the medal caps..
cans of soda with the pull tabs rather than the flip and push back openers
(god i sound old)

Hehe. We still get the glass soda bottle here. Though they cost an arm and a leg because it’s a “collector’s item.” Why anyone would want to collect something like that when it’s not an endangered species is beyond me. Heh.

Commercials for Homelink reverse charge calls.

We have something called the $2 shop
Most things cost most than two dollars in there though!

Maybe its a reference to the wages they pay the kids that work there ;)

My father.
Snow at Christmas.
Routemaster buses.

Old fashioned kids games. Like those elastic loops in the 80’s that kids used to hold around their legs on each end while someone (or more) would do tricks in the middle.

The original Rubiks cube (I’ve been trying to find one everywhere)

Kids playing sports like hockey, soccor, rounders (baseball) or skeelball in the middle of the street. They seem to have better things to do than enjoy the outdoors.

Traffic cops

Legwarmers

Leg warmers are back in fashion in England. They are everywhere.

1) BN’s they used to be so nice and now there not sold in england
2) Snow it never come any more
3) The value of money in england

1) Re-runs of cool cartoons from the 80’s

I’m not sure polite teens existed, the whole point of teens is too rebel and not know who you are, I mean punks had to be the worst surely or are modern day chavs worse? Who knows?

4. Black college comedies. Haven’t seen any in a long time.

Still love the classic of Higher Learning. John Singleton is a genuis.

Regular, black coffee.

Meh, depends how you look at it. I found parts of it pretty amusing. Though some would find it more of a drama.

Ice Cube needs to do another straight-out comedy though. Just no more Barbershop or Friday movies.

1. Manors/respect
2. The block cell phones
3. Romantic men

Tommy guns.
Arooooga car horns.
Music on MTV.

3. moon shoes lol

1. orange flavored bubble gum. from bubblicious.

2. tiny, tiny horses (6 inches tall), they disappeared around the prehistoric age.

3. Giant sloths that used to live in the South American continent. (gigantic!)

ooo, i don’t know if i ever saw those creatures.

2. my ex.

I was mostly polite in my teens. Even when others were being mean I just retreated and apologized. One foster placement I was in kept getting annoyed that I would politely ask for a glass of water even after I’d been there for almost 2 years. They kept complaining to my social workers and family about it.

But yes, it’s rare these days that I see teenagers with manners. Actually, it’s rare I see kids with manners these days unless they’re toddlers being prompted. It’s like once they turn seven, it’s turned into a right of rudeness and ignorance.

I can’t remember…..

1. shuffleboard
2. Richie Rich comics with hostess devils food cake ads in them (MY CHILDHOOD)
3. Dinosaurs
4. razor scooters (ALSO MY CHILDHOOD)
5. poliical incorrectness (am I the only one who misses it?)
6. honey pots

most importantly…

7. Cute, available, intelligent boys (who like me) in the northern VA area

white dog poo

Just put on the Song on my site …You dont see…. barbyman.com

nerds ! Oh I used to LOVE nerds. I just saw a pic of them. it made my touge water. mmmm…I only wish you could still buy these. what numbskull took them away! :O they were candy sweets
the good old films. good old fashioned videos. with original stories. with extra emphasise on the original. nowadays everything is copied from everything.
good old fashioned games like the playstation games. like rayman, croc, crash bandicoot, tekken. now it’s all just shooting games. its so sexist and lame.
decent orignial clouths. alot of the clouths seem the same or similar nowadays. i hate fashion. fashion is boring. remember the good old days when everyone wore something different?
and the nice cheap prices! the days when kinder eggs used to cost 32 pence instead of 55 pence! choc bars used to be 32 or 36 pence, now everything is extra expensive! grr lol
