Nostalgia!

[stuck garden]

Old phones, computers, movies, shows.

[stuck garden]

Omg did you ever have a McDonald's birthday party?

[empty dagger]

Mum fucking loathed McDonald’s so no, but my cousin did once. One of my earliest memories, the very first time I had fanta orange

Liquid gold

[stuck garden]

I used to collect these

[empty dagger]

I remember these

Why were their heads so big

[stuck garden]

Football crazy, chocolate mad!

Grab a power pod and play football with the lads

[storm fjord]

I remember going here specifically after getting out of hospital when I had my tonsils removed

[stuck garden]

Hahahah could you even eat??

[empty dagger]

To this day when people ask me why I still like McDonald’s

[stone skiff]

ive got a Shearer one behind me, he lives in a plant pot

[empty dagger]

I tell them ‘cause it’s basically baby food

You can eat it at any time no matter what you feel like

[stuck garden]

Realllly, I have lost all mine, my mum probably threw them away

[storm fjord]

I couldn’t talk for sure, but I could definitely slurp down a milkshake

[stone skiff]

I'm currently putting all my pokemon cards in little plastic slips. I'll take a picture of my Charizard, Blastoise and Venasaur when i can be arsed

[stuck garden]

I miss strawberry milkshakes from McDonald's

Like the way they used to be

[empty dagger]

Aye they’ve ruined the milkshakes

[stuck garden]

Used to nearly bust a blood vessel tryna drink them

[empty dagger]

Basically textured the whip so it’s close to angel’s delight

And never enough strawberry syrup

And reduced portion size but still served in the same cups

[storm fjord]

Yeah they taste truly awful now, but I do think a lot of that is I’ve tasted many better milkshakes since

[stuck garden]

I'll still get one the odd time but always end up a wee bit disappointed

[stone skiff]

they are only meant for dipping the chips in anyway

[stuck garden]

Did any of you have to watch this show in school

[storm fjord]

Looks dodgy as fuck, but no

[empty dagger]

Hahaha yess

[stuck garden]

Yesssssss

[empty dagger]

[stuck garden]

[stuck garden]

Class

[storm fjord]

Roy Apps

[stuck garden]

Remember they'd interrupt the episode to teach you a word or something

[empty dagger]

I recognise this but feel like I’ve shoved it in the deepest recesses of my memory

nostalgia is an illness that's why it ends in -algia. like fibromyalgia

you MUST BE CURED

💉

[stuck garden]

Hahaha I'm just sad today and us talking about old phones earlier cheered me up a bit

I wanted to chase that feeling a bit more

[storm fjord]

Gantee is an illness

The thing I remember from school TV is an Odyssey production where a guy was rowing in the opening credits and was clearly wearing a wristwatch

[stone skiff]

here, anyone remember these. yeah ive gone straight in to the shite banter nostalgia

[topaz relic]

having to sit on those!! hahaha

[empty dagger]

I have a deep scar in my left shin from doing a roundhouse off the end of one and misjudging it, smacking my shin full pelt into the edge when I was in P6

Gouged a chunk out of my leg

[topaz relic]

who remembers when men were hard? 🇬🇧

[stone skiff]

fucking hell, that sounds awful. Even a relatively gentle shin knock can wreck.

[empty dagger]

Aye not gonna lie, was pretty shit as far as formative memories go

The worst part is that child legweak felt embarrassed for crying over it more than anything else

Just got McDonald’s @stuck garden @storm fjord

Scam

[storm fjord]

Fuck is that?

The only thing I’ll get from McDs anymore is their frozen strawberry lemonade

And maybe a McSpicy if I’m stuck for options

[empty dagger]

Strawberry milkshake

75% of the cup full

[stuck garden]

Are you saying your username is arn legweak

Because I've been saying arnle gweak in my head

[lethal swallow]

Did anyone have this? I used to love it

[storm fjord]

Are you generally saying usernames in your head?

[stuck garden]

My friend had one of these, me & him used to play it all the time

[stuck garden]

Well when I read I have a wee voice in my head reading the words do you not?

[storm fjord]

I do, but it usuallys skips out the username

[stuck garden]

This might be really niche but

What footballers name did you shout before you kicked the ball at the net when playing football with your mates

[storm fjord]

lmao

[light pagoda]

Shinji Ono, I was into the Japan kit as a kid

[stuck garden]

What pressure???

Pressure is for tyres

[light pagoda]

My mate I always played with was shortlisted for the arsenal team so I always felt incompetent at football in comparison.

[lethal swallow]

Don't think I ever shouted a name, but I was a Leeds fan so probably yeboah if I did

[stuck garden]

Not Robbie Fowler no

[storm fjord]

I always played goalkeeper, because I didn't give a fuck about it

[light pagoda]

Lovely safe goal

[empty dagger]

No I would never say that

For it is

In fact

Arn Lé Gweak 💅

[stone skiff]

anyone have these? they had numbers on their feet and I used to say it was a powerlevel for when theyd fight

[light pagoda]

I had these

[stone skiff]

they look inferior

[light pagoda]

There’s a surprisingly competent nes game for monsters in my pocket

[lethal swallow]

Did you lot play wembley? Every man for themselves? I was lucky enough to have a massive garden when I was younger (dad was a caretaker of a primary school), so I had pals round at mine almost every day after school lekkin footy

[light pagoda]

What doth it entail?

[rigid geyser]

Bigger carbon footprint than Taylor Swift

[empty dagger]

Y2K was wild

[light pagoda]

Yes!

I was always told you could make them have babies

So me and my cousin would try do that

With the aliens I mean

[haughty fox]

I've got some resin bootlegs of these and trash bag bunch, like this leggy fish

[stuck garden]

Aye the back of my house was a big courtyard all the backs of everyone's houses looked out on to

We'd put a big net up and play wembley

Used to play a game called sticks as well

Dunno if that was one we made up but we'd lay our sticks in a row and jump from one to the next, every round the sticks went further apart

And you were eliminated if ya didn't reach the stick.

[topaz relic]

fucking hell

the 80s sounds dire

[stuck garden]

Omg hahahaha

[light pagoda]

Kid squid games

[stuck garden]

I wasn't even alive in the 80s lolol

[topaz relic]

[haughty fox]

[haughty fox]

Pigeon toss in school

[stuck garden]

Was gna say thisss

What's the time mister wolf

[light pagoda]

Yes that too

[brisk roost]

We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville?
I needed a new heel for my shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say.
Now where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

[empty dagger]

It’s dinner time fuckers

[haughty fox]

Triggering the oldies by talking about our youth

[stone skiff]

thats terrifying

[lethal swallow]

It's a knockout format. Hou've gotta score a goal to get through to the next round. Last man standing in each round is knocked out

We used to play a game in school called deknackerisation. I think I've mentioned it on a limmy discord before. 2 teams, each player has a letter that makes up a word for each team. The goal is to chase each opposing team member down and beat them in to submission to get their letter. The first team to figure out the opposing teams word wins

[stuck garden]

Hahahahaha

Being a kid was so violent

[lethal swallow]

Bulldog was worse tbh. I thought once got piled on by about 10 kids and I literally thought I was gonna die

[haughty fox]

We played this but called it manhunt

[stuck garden]

We called it 2 man hunt

But not collecting letters

We just had to floor them and shout 1 2 3, 2 MAN HUNT

[red jasper]

Who remembers old forum posts? Like the "Brian v Bryan" or the one about standing desks. One day this post will be in that category too I suppose, won't it.

Really makes you think.

[spark slate]
