    How many of you remember some or all of these !!!!!



    WE WAS BRUNG UP PROPER !!


    "And we never had a whole Mars bar until 1993"!!!


    CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
    1930's 1940's, 50's, 60's and early 70's !
    First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos...
    They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer.
    Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.


    We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
    As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
    We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
    Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds , KFC, Subway or Nandos.
    Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and didn't open on a Sunday, somehow we didn't starve to death!
    We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
    We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the corner store and buy Toffees, Gobstoppers, Bubble Gum and some bangers to blow up frogs with.
    We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because..... .
    WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
    We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
    No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O..K.
    We would spend hours building our go-carts out of old prams and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. We built tree houses and dens and played in river beds with matchbox cars.
    We did not have Playstations, Nintendo Wii , X-boxes, no video games at all, no 999 channels on *** ,
    no video/dvd films,
    no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms....... ...WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!


    We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
    Lawsuits from these accidents.


    Only girls had pierced ears!


    We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.


    You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns at Easter time...


    We were given air guns and catapults for our 10th birthdays,


    We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
    Mum didn't have to go to work to help dad make ends meet because we didn’t need to keep up with the Jones’s!


    Not everyone made the rugby/football/ cricket/netball team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! Getting into the team was based on
    MERIT


    Our teachers used to hit us with canes and gym shoes and throw the blackboard rubber at us if they thought we weren’t concentrating .


    We can string sentences together and spell and have proper conversations because of a good, solid three R’s education.


    Our parents would tell us to ask a stranger to help us cross the road.


    The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.
    They actually sided with the law!


    Our parents didn't invent stupid names for their kids like 'Kiora' and 'Blade' and 'Ridge' and 'Vanilla'


    We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO
    DEAL WITH IT ALL !



    And YOU are one of them!
    CONGRATULATIONS!
    You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
    And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

    I have had no luck getting the dns back I had a .mine.nu and they are no longer offering the same. Payment for a dns is a no no for me as I have been off sick for 8 months.

    Hello Guys its been a long time since I posted on this great forum an accident at work has kept me busy for quite a few months.
    I am now trying to get back on top of things but my free dyn account has expired due to not logging on and renewing it is there anyway I can reuse my dyndns addy so I can try and rescue some of my shares. Or will I have to start with a new dyndns addy and hope that I can contact my shares?
    Thanks

    You could always try your luck on freecycle you have to sign up and enter the area you are in and people on there give some cracking stuff away all for free :)

    I have metal gears in my motor and its located near to my sons window and he is a very light sleeper and it has not woken him up and my neighbour likes to complain about everything and hes not mentioned it so he cant hear it either.

    Hi guys has anyone had a problem with a DSL microswitch? I keep loosing my internet although my router is still showing as conected I cant receive incoming calls at anytime and outgoing calls are intermittent I have called my phone/isp provider but calls are via non english speaking countries and are no help.
    I dont have a spare filter to check so thought I'd ask here to see if anyone else has had a similar problem thanks.

    Clone and genuine dreamboxes both have good/bad points it boils down to how much you want to spend the software works equally well for the clone and genuine dreams and all you need to flash either box is your browser and your chosen image hope this helps.
