What do I miss? Not having any responsibilities, they were all my parents. Alas youth is wasted on the young.
If I had my time over again, and I knew what I know now, I'd have been more appreciative of my health and got stuck in more to the activities I enjoyed.
I miss the school xmas party were u had to bring food from home and a plastic plate, bowl etc all with ur name cellotaped to it so you knew it was yours :)
And being in top class at juniors and being able to sit on chairs instead of the floor in assembly and thinkin we were the nuts lol
No Bj my claim to fame is that I am related to Tony Blair (well Mrs Blair via her dad Mr Booth) and my great great cousin assassinated Abraham Lincon. My dad is researching the family tree and i stood still for too long and got the tour of the tree so far.
"remember seeing the old cassette tape all over the hedges"
For those under the age of 25, music used to be provided and sold on two normal forms of media.
One was a plastic disc in two normal sizes (12 inches and 7 inches) which you scraped a needle around to play the music. These were generally called 12 inches discs or 7 inch discs. Imaginative hey?
The other was a small plastic case roughly the size of a cigarette packet, with a double spool of magnetic tape inside. The tape was then wound from one spool to the other whilst being run over a device (called a tape player) which detected the positive or negative charge in each section of tape and in so doing was able to re-create the sound.
Eventually a portable tape player was invented that kick started the revolution of earphones and annoyed grannies on buses.
Each tape was capable of storing approximately 90 minutes of music, or two albums. To listen to additional music, further tapes required carrying.
Eventually a tape would stick or get pulled into the rollers of the player. The owner would deal with this by pulling the tape out from the case by hand with the aim of manually rewinding it onto one of the two spools within the case. Invariably however, this would simply result in mile after mile of tape in bushes, hedges, across roads and wrapped around car drive shafts.
I do remember Weebles fondly however, talking serious for a second.
I suppose in many ways my career as an engineer of some kind was always set. I used to play for hours in the bath with my weebles!! My favourite game was shaking them under the water so they filled up and then shaking them carefully out of the water so that just enough water would fall out to allow the weeble to hang mysteriously no matter at what depth.
weebles wobble but they dont fall down, on our record player we used to have to put coins on the arm with plastacine to try to stop the scratched records jumping
