What I miss from my childhood... Page 2

I miss those trainers that light up when you walk... if I can find adult versions... I will buy them!!

Ha ha. I'm still in my childhood - sort of. I don't miss anything yet.

When I was a kid we had a dog that was a rampant humper. One day he snuck up on my dad and started to work his magic on his leg. I saw this happen from the kitchen window and the next day proceeded to tell everyone at our family reunion that Dad and the dog were working on a circus act. Lots of laughs that day...

Summers were always hot and sunny and seemed to go on forever, like 16 months or something.

Building camps in trees or church hall roofs and garbage pail kid cards.

I miss being a member of comic fan clubs. I was in:

Dennis The Menace Fan Club.
Bazooka Joe Fan Club.
Desperate Dan's Pie-Eating Club.

Don't be sad, Nigel, they're lifetime memberships!

Poo poo tinkle tinkle parp parp oink!

Santa Claus for the most part. And not being able to get excited by the Transformers like I used to. I went to the first one like 'yeah this is going to kick ass', and leaving like 'why wasn't it more exciting?' I hate my age.

That's one hell of a fetish.

My love of Bumblebee was pure and chaste. I'll have you know!

I miss seeing my friends everyday and having my mum wait on me.

Awwwww Balf!

If you want, I'll make you up a stocking this Xams. I am the Christmas Kween! Pleased

You don't have to forgo(e?) Santa just because you're old!
I still believe in him, and I bet Ruby does too.
Join our awesome supercool club... :/

I miss the freedom and adventure.

Your childhood lapses into the responsibility of adulthood as you start work, move out of the family home, get into debt, marry, have kids...strewth, this is depressing.

Oh, and I miss Wagon Wheels that you couldn't put in your mouth whole. Are they smaller these days, or is my mouth bigger?

They're definitely smaller. In the early 1980s they used to be the size of hubcaps. Curly-wurlys were the length of cricket bats. And Mars Bars really were of suitable size for sexual urban legends.

AND CREME EGGS!!! WHAT IS THE DEAL????

They are getting smaller but pricier. I just won't buy them anymore until Cadbury's stop taking the wee.

I have noticed they have brought back the old Monster Munch! Got some the other day, it was amazing!
