Watching Kenneth Branagh as Wallander last night I temporarily suspended my hatred of the man for being the worst Hamlet ever (apart from Gielgud, obviously) and remembered this:
Pure Soap Opera, but also a time capsule of life in the great triumvirate of cities: Belfast, Glasgow, and Liverpool. It's not so very long ago, but it's another world. Das, Aunties, Nans, and milk bottles with cream at the top and a silver lid. Outdoor toilets, the Racing Post, and the wee sleekit bastards that sneaked off before getting their round in.
Would I want to go back? Yes and no.
Community and a bar tab, there are worse things. Outdoor toilets and wee sleekit bastards I can do without.

Ow - those weren't the days. Too much 'Parrs' and a roaring headache.
Aye, the past is another country.
And it can stay there so it can.
Good grief, what was THAT? Put it AWAY.
I can't remember that far back (not that old) but I suppose if I could turn back time to before internet porn/facebook I probably would even if it meant I had to breathe in a lot of smog.

I was a kid, so I could steal a Benson and Hedges from Uncle Gerald's packet while he was half cut watching the footie.

Away and shear something, we all knew a Billy. Actually, shear a goat.

You can't remember 1984? You obviously are a yummy mummy.
Hello!
You may probably be very curious to know how one can make real money on investments.
There is no need to invest much at first.
You may commense to get income with a sum that usually goes
for daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one company's work for several years,
and I'll be glad to let you know my secrets at my blog.

P.S. I make 1000-2000 per day now.
