If you're under 50, don't bother clicking, OR...

[Raffles]

As I'm approaching a certain age, I've been wallowing in 'memories'. I just hope that they invoke pleasant memories for those of a similar age. And to you youngsters... don't waste a minute of your life... enjoy, BUT be good to others.

I've been watching videos on YouTube of places from my youth that I didn't think still existed, purchased photos of places on eBay that I grew up in and thought I'd never see again. I just hope that our grandkids have the same opportunity in this 'sick' world.









I could go on with these clips, but I hope you get the idea. You are not alone.

Those were the days Raffles & some of those days were good, but so many things were not so good back then - especially for women.

Think all of those are on my hard drive in mp3 format, and are definitely the ones I grew up with, already applied for my SP which is due at the end of next month

I remember all of them. *sigh* OK - so I'm old. *shrug*

Oh - and I do clearly remember when I first saw the Italian Job - to say the least, a real cliff hanger ending.

  Lovely memories Raffles...thank you 

[monty]

One of my favourite bits of nostalgia is David Neal reading H E Bates. Six 15 minute stories on BBC iPlayer at the moment link

Yes I remember all these and know all the words to those were the days. Of course from the Opportunity Knocks and Hughie Green




And this WILL take you back

[pebbles]

I too remember them all, and Hughie Green

[beedee]

Me too, still traumatised by being made to watch Hughie Green on Opportunity Knocks when I was a kid.


Went to a place called Sukhothai in Thailand about 4 years ago, sitting on the porch of my little guest house cabin with a beer listening to someone play Hotel California REALLY LOUD over and over again at the same time every evening.

Ahh, the good old days... I went to see the Eagles live in 1974 when they were touring with Neil Young... (Just an old hippie, really).
