Well, why else would you carry a camera in the car?

I had it in my pocket once by mistake, and saw a traffic warden trying to stitch me up. I'd parked in a residents bay where the sign had fallen off, and she was issuing me with a ticket, and walking across the road to take a picture of a sign on the opposite bay, to support her ticket. I got the camera out, took a pic of her taking a pic, and she hastily withdrew the ticket.

Good job!

I think they used to put bleach in "not a proper dog really" food. That way old ladies did not have to deal with little foo foo or fluffy making nasty brown poopoos. A spate of bleach related rat-creature-called-a-dog deaths put a stop to it. My theory anyway.

Na, rubbish!!!!
back in the 70's/80's peeps used to give their dogs proper bones fromt butchers,dunt happen these days cos they throw bones/send them off for "recycling".
Simple, they changed the ingredients in Pedigree Chum. Real meat went into it, rather than bones and bollocks.

Not just for boys! I had a GI Joe for my Barbie doll. Ken was far too wimpy for her......
Did the GI Joe get carried away and shoot her in the back by mistake when the enemy came into view?
I was always more on the side of COBRA, after all they had the cooler uniforms. I guess I was going through a bit of a fascist/terrorist/vagely homoerotic phase when I was a kid...
Anyway, I always liked the "I can see you but you can't see me!" COBRA Commander set-up (the helmet-with-glass look) over the wimpy cloth mask one. You knew that one good gust of wind and Cobra Commander would be revealed for what he is...Donald Rumsfeld.
Something you don't see anymore: Donald Rumsfeld jokes (I still think he should go on trial for being a bad, evil guy)

My first nomination for POTY2007 
Oh, how often I got beaten senseless for mentioning that Action man [1] was in factg...a DOLL!
I wonder if my hatred for people believing stupid things goes back to those kickings :D
[1] Like GI Joe, but fights people who can fight back, and makes some effort not to kill more friendlies than the enemy.

Bollox, misuse of military resources.
Everyone knows action man's tank was never to be used for anything other than it's owner to sit astride himself and bomb down driveways, streets, playgrounds and presumably on the mainland, motorway slip roads.
Things that I haven't seen in several years: Cassette tapes VHS tapes Pagers (Actually, I haven't seen one in more than ten years.)

saw one last week by the post box
VHS tapes...hell..we still sell the blank ones...
now something I haven't seen in a long time is a John Courage...damn that was good stuff...too bad I can't find it any longer...
Zima alcohol, Parachute pants, Sneakers that weren't extremely fancy or aren't trying to look retro. A payphone that costs 25 cents. Aquanet. Good rock music that is not trying it's darndest to sound retro (why is emulation in these days, and I don't mean Emulator II's), malt liquor not sold in 40's, a rap record that was fun, real floppy discs (although even now, my mother still this that the only way you can save information from your computer is on one of those 4.5in. floppy discs.)
Brannigans crisps
I tried them once a last year from a work vending machine..now I can't find any

I did that as a kid, until my mother told me that the water comes from the Schuykyl river, the river that runs near our neighborhood and right next to an expressway.
Another thing you don't see: kids playing outside that are not causing trouble and are not watched by their parents. Back when I was a kid in the '80s and early '90s, everyone played outside. And even if you owned a Nintendo, you still played outside sometime or went outside to walk to the arcade or to the pizza place that had about 3 arcade games in it. You don't even see arcades anymore or arcade games at a pizza place, corner store, supermarket, etc... But, yesterday, as I walked to get food, I saw kids outside playing, but they were all watched by their parents. And, thinking back to when I lived in Philadelphia, you'd see a lot of kids outside that aren't being watched by their parents (mostly because their parents aren't home or don't give a damn) and they're outside causing trouble and vandalizing stuff.

Too bad for you. There is a beer store in Rochester called Beers of the World which keeps a nice stock of it.
Next time you're in town, maybe I'll hook you up.

wind up alarm clocks.
It pisses me off getting stuck behind a school bus. They stop every 50 feet to let the fat little kids out right on their doorstep! And they wonder why kids are getting fatter and fatter!?

I think everything on your list is something I used to indulge in, but haven't thought of for years. Except parachute pants. Never had those! How much is a pay phone these days, anyway? I'd not noticed.

I had to use a payphone recently because my cell was stolen at school. And, right now, it was 50 cents. It used to be just 25 cents back when I was in high school. But, then when I was in high school, you could get two Tasty Kake pies for a dollar, and now an individual Tasty Kake pie costs a buck. Has inflation really gone up that much since 1999?
Brannigans crisps...I tried them once last year from a vending machine but I haven't been able to find any in the shops..any UK NOOLers know where I can find them?

From wiki:
"Brannigans crisps have become increasingly difficult to find in recent years. They can still be found in some public houses, but unfortunatly it seems as if the brand is being phased out. As they were never really given a chance in big supermarkets alongside other crisps, some people see this as a great pity. Unique in their hard, crunchy texture, and realistic meat flavours, it seems unlikely we will see a similar product on the shelves."

I think the Little Debbie stuff is still pretty cheap, innit?

your mom is mean. it's as clean to drink as regular philly tap water
Still see 25 cent payphones, they are the ones with the big sign above them in not so nice neighborhoods that say "International Phone Calls 25CENTS a Minute" meanwhile the local calls still cost 35!
The payphones in SEPA (non dodgy ones) say 50 cents for local calls but then when you use it it says "you've got 15 cents credit towards overtime". Verizon are cunts. I've not seen that too many other places (I used a payphone in boston recently and in new york and they both said 30 cents)!

This is the most boring post I've ever read.
What a load of shit.
Where's JAK? We could do with one of his zingy :zzz: posts.
Well I hope she's better at it than she was at posting something interesting then.
I'm still bored, ten minutes after reading it.

Little Debbie and Hostess are crap. If you're from Philly, you know that Tasty Kakes conquer all snack cakes.
I could really go for some butterscotch krimpets right now

There is no such thing as a non-dodgy AKA a working SEPTA payphone.
