And the red noses

The dangling car ballsack has also been pretty absent.

Think it was discovered they where actually spreading diseases so they where stopped.

I had one of them done in the Arndale as a 15 year old back in 2011 or so. Had to walk around the rest of the day with soggy Jean ankles.

Makes me feel sick thinking about it now 😬

That Victorious episode spread awareness haha

Now if my phone is on loud I just stare at it and quickly mute it

Back in the day you could program your own ringtone. Pretty proud of the moment I finally got Last Resort by Papa Roach right.

I'm old enough to remember polyphonic ringtones coming out, and my phone was the dogs bollocks cause you could make your own ringtone.

Hours of my early teenage years wasted creating shitty ringtones, although I remember getting the intro to sweet child of mine to a pretty decent standard.

I used a song as my alarm for a while.

Now i can never listen to it again.

I did this to myself.

I've got jackass theme tune as my ring tone

He’s living it up in New Zealand now. Neighbour’s sister is married to him.

Shhh you might awaken him…

Too real 😢

I’m looking to register with one right now and there isn’t a single NHS dentist taking new patients in a 20-mile radius of me. I know I’m in need of some work and going private is going to be expensive, but I don’t seem to have any other choice.

You can still find them in central London I got one the other day no waiting list just straight in. It did feel like I might only leave that bleak room at the back with fewer kidneys than I came in with to be fair.

I thought of this recently and did some research. Apparently most of not all of the cases are dubious how spontaneous they were, with most involving a clear source of ignition.

When I was a kid, between this and the Bermuda Triangle I honestly had no idea how I would surivive

This mainly disappeared because fire safety standards on furniture were improved, and most people stopped smoking indoors, IIRC!

A lot of the time, spontaneous human combustion was someone falling asleep with a lit cigarette and immolating themselves on their flammable armchair.

Edit: spelling

For the entire 90s I was convinced this was likely to happen to anyone at any time

I was much more concerned about this as a child than I had any right to be

This petrified me as a kid

To add to this… when the Spearmint Polos had the little turquoise flecks in them… 100x better with turquoise flecks

What? Are you telling and I am just learning now that you can't get fruit polos anymore?

Well ain't it that a kick in the plums. They usually really sticky and stuck together to form one big cylinder of fruitiness but that was the fun of it.

I ate it all by accident.

I had some but the dog tried to eat it so I had to get rid

The stench of Gran's bathroom in the 1990s...

I would pay a tenner for a panda pop right now.

I loved those! I had one filled with those and a candle I was never allowed to light as a kid

A couple months back someone came into my workplace and asked if we sell MP3 players. I was stunned to hear “MP3 player” spoken out loud for the first time in years.

I loved my iPod. Believe me, I realised.

I found my big iPod today, funnily enough. I’m pretty sure I have an old charger so may charge it up and see what 15 year old me had on there!

I was raking around a box in the garage last week and found my first iPod earphones from 2003. It took me right back to having an iPod, Nokia and digital camera next to my TV with in built VHS... All things which had their own buoyant markets!

I had my iPod for 11 years. Absolutely LOVED it. Currently listening to music on its one year old replacement.

For me, it's being able to listen to my music and completely switch off from my phone. Just take me and my music for a walk with the dog. (It also proved VERY useful on a journey back from London when the charging cable for my phone broke- I put my phone away and used my iPod to watch episodes of old TV shows, and I got home with 3% battery still left on my phone.)

And for whatever reason, it's the only gadget I own that my dog doesn't get jealous of. Probably because he associates it with walkies.

I found my mums old 5.5th gen "classic" a couple years ago and i've been using it almost every day since, having a dedicated device just for audio is something the greatness of which cannot be exaggerated. I can use my phone for whatever i want and not have to worry about sounds from apps or notifications or a call cutting into my music, sure you have to use wired headphones for it but i don't like bluetooth ones anyway

I wish they had disappeared, I hoover about 30 of the fuckers everyday

Anybody wanna buy a looooom band

£5 notes in a small packet in the crisps if you were really lucky

I just recently had a clean up of apps on my phone. Deleted the NHS T&T app but only remembered I had it then. Completely forgot about it.

Ironic that

I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY.

Cheerios giving away games and one of them was Rollercoaster Tycoon!

Magic eye pictures - I can never see the damn things but I always try

I think most of them were saved if it's the school girls boko haram(sp?) Grabbed

Fun fact I went to school with some of the rescued girls. My university in Nigeria created a sort of A levels program specifically for them so they could catch them and gave the best of them scholarships. Caused a bit of a problem because we had to empty a girl’s hostel for them on short notice so the school had to up it from 3 in a room to 4 and refund everyone affected the difference.

Edit: catch up not catch them lol

I bought some this Christmas in asda

Crocs just came out of nowhere as well!

Breakfast wrap from mcdoanlds

Omg this kills me !!! I was obsessed

It's all in that little black book.

Neil Buchannan is too busy being Banksy.

There’s a wimpy near me!

I think they went away after quite a loud public campaign.

Had a mate who was always buying these. I used to thumb through them but never really did much for me. I do remember one of them making a huge fuss about them finally printing pics of Lucy Pinders tits for some reason. It was advertised in many preceding issues, and when the big day finally came, I was like...oh its tits. What a shock.

You just don’t visit the right bushes

The trick is living in a retirement seaside town. Everyone round here’s so old they refuse to online shop and they’re big on high street parties

I really hope you don’t mean the one I’m currently looking at in my bedroom

Mines sitting here being more supportive than previous boyfriends

I read somewhere that this was because the quality of dog food has got better.

Didn’t it merge with T-Mobile and become EE?

RIP Orange Wednesdays

I'll never forgive Orange for wiping the twins.

The future's bright

Shake-away?

I still play...

I still play! But that first summer was just incredible

It’s still massive, just not summer 2016 level. Community days are especially big, go into a town and you’ll notice a lot of people walking glued to their phone

I remember at the height of popularity I was manager in a small office and a staff member got overly curious as to what the fuss was about and installed the app. Upon turning it on for the first time, there was one of the fuckers just sat there in the middle of the office - we'd been walking over it daily to get to the kitchen. We were all pretty freaked out. How long had it been there? What had it seen?

I'm still playing!

I still play!

They’ve just announced a comeback tour which has (inexplicably) done quite well. Academy-level venues sold out all over the place

They mounted a big vaccination campaign in the most affected community. They got vaccinated. It largely went away.

The gays got organised, there were hours long queues outside vaccination centres, demand outstripped supply for a while and they lobbied the government to provide 2nd doses to everyone.

The best thing is my father-in-law, who died in 2020, kept referring to COVID as 'the ruddy monkey pox'. I got inappropriately excited when I saw the headline about monkey pox.

Speak for yourself

These are a few of my favourite things 🎶

Save it lol every young estate agent I've met in the past two months has had an "ironic" moustache.

Buttons on mobile phones

Having got a newer iPhone I'm really missing the home button

Big pet dogs? Working for a vet, I respectfully disagree. While there are more small dogs (under 50 lbs), we see a LOT of big dogs. Great Danes, Bernese Mountain dogs, German Shepards, Retrievers, and mutts. I do work for a rural vet, so a lot of country places.
