Things That Just Seem To Have Disappeared Or Faded

Real life paedos , none of these modern day internet try hards

 

I hate all gnomes equally. Creepy little ****ers.

 

Smoking. I find it genuinely odd when I see someone doing it now.

Watched an old episode of Curb over the weekend where Loretta lit up a cigarette on Larry’s house, it was incredibly jarring.

 

8 track music systems, often installed in their car by real music know-alls who had no sensible comeback when you took the p155 when one of their favourite songs stopped part way through the ‘essential’ guitar solo and took about 2 minutes to restart which seemed to be how long it took for the next track to load.

 

Car radios you remove the face from and take with you.

Car radios you remove entirely from the car and take with you.

 

Joke aside, they are few and far between now. Annoyingly once I was at Schiphol airport and my phone was dead, I needed to call the missus but no public phones airside. I know they're less useful than they used to be but in some locations they can be essential still.

 

CB Radio nerds

 

Those rubber charity wristbands that every bloke in the country seemed to wear at one stage.

 

Adults without tattoos

 

They had no charging points?

 

The screen got cracked and was unusable at the time.

 

10-4

 

No tattoos are the new tattoo.
When today's 30s 40s 50s get old and fat, tattoos will be seen as disgusting by the younger generation.

 

Good. I hope so.

 

Serving hatches

 

I left a message on your answerphone but you never responded. Not sure I ever got over it!

 

Have we had Bidets?

 

Strippers in pubs

 

Is that pub opposite Moor Park Golf Club still doing strippers. Prince of Wales?

 

Frequently the charging points are faulty or aren't connected. At least in the UK. I guess the little connection points aren't as hard-wearing as a regular 3 pin plug. I tried a whole run of chargers before, none working, before seeing that the row wasn't even connected to a power source.

 

good for cleaning feet in

 

Or car radios you remove from a car to sell on to someone else before you steal the car to use in a ram raid? Just asking for a friend.

 

Never get a tattoo…the hassle of getting it removed when you realise the OB can use it as a distinguishing mark is annoying…

 

streakers at major sporting events

 

That pub looks so grim, when over the road you've got Ye Old Greene Man which looks like a lovely country pub. Chalk and cheese.

 

Or....you've just committed a crime, .....you were seen by a witness.....quickly get a very obvious face tattoo and stay out of jail....

 

He's "The King" now, doesn't do that sort of thing anymore.

 

Jamming £20 notes into G-strings with his sausage fingers.

 

I suspect that 20 quid goes a long way in that sort of establishment

 

Season ticket.

 

Drawstring bags. All the rage for some weird reason at one point.

 

Saw a short clip of this on Instagram and then found the full episode on YouTube:



I think I remember watching it at the time but it’s hilarious in a David Brent/Alan Partridge way.

I know people still have company cars, but you don’t really seem to see so many sales reps like this these days?

 

Pubs with a Lounge Bar and a Public Bar side. I never knew the difference but I remember that the Coach and Horses in Ricky used to be divided thusly.

 

The lounge bar was the part you weren't allowed into.
