The Things That Aren’t As Good As They Used To Be Chatbox

[Zu]

Yes, another opportunity to up that SINE QUA NON post count for all the nice ladies and gentlemen du lounge. I know what sour, bitter old cows most of you are, so GO GO GO!

I’LL START

KFC chips. Oh for the HALCYON DAYS OF LARD

 

[Zu]

I also give you the UK SINGLES CHART

 

[win_the_game]

Starburst.

Much better when they were Opal Fruits and had separate lemon and lime sweets.

 

[Zu]

SNICKERS can also very much cunt off and what kind of word is SNICKERS ANYWAY?

BRING BACK MARATHON

 

[ButterTart]

No longer having table service now that everything has gone rubbish again post-lockdown.

I would say that there is nothing I dislike more (well, there almost certainly is ) than waiting to be served at a bar. I’ve been known to bribe people to do it on my behalf

 

[Zu]

At least Wetherspoons have their handy APP. Who cares if they supported Brexit if one doesn’t have to use one’s lovely lithe legs

 

[lolly]

My pubes

 

[dUb]

Boxes of cereal since they took the toys out

 

[octophone]

The Labour Party.

 

[Zu]

Boxes of cereal since they took the toys out

and also HUG FOR @dUb

 

[Zu]

My pubes

They really do lose their buoyant crispness, don’t they?

BE WARNED, YOUNGER VIEWERS - YOU’VE GOT IT COMING

You can still get them in B&M!

In a similar vein, the size of standard chocolate bars. What was once ‘fun-size’ is now the size of a normal one

Like me generally, kinda FRAZZLED

 

[GNL]

Sloths

See also 'sharing bags' of crisps or Maltesers etc

FUCK OFF

Oh that’s such a disgrace. They used to be enormous

 

[GNL]

Cheryl Tweedy

 

[Zu]

Sloths

God they’ve SHRUNK A BIT!

 

[Martha Skidd]

SCATALOGICAL GIFS

 

[GNL]

God they’ve SHRUNK A BIT!

Stuck with fun-size sloths now

 

[Zu]

FUCK OFF

IKR. AS IF!

Also GRAB BAGS have shrunk horribly

 

[lolly]

Do we even get PUBLIC INFORMATION FILMS any more, or is it just 'if you've been affected by any of the issues in this programme' at the end of Hollyoaks these days?

Things were MUCH BETTER when we used to scare children to death about being electrocuted by a pylon or eaten in the mechanics of an escalator.

 

[lolly]

 

[BoysForSeles]

 

[lolly]

Truly terrifying. And if you made it off the escalator alive you were almost certain to be molested on the way home by Ernie with the whippet and a glass eye.

 

[Kratz]

Newsflashes. They don’t happen often now in the age of (1) news channels and (2) everything being a drama.

 

[octophone]

BE WARNED, YOUNGER VIEWERS - YOU’VE GOT IT COMING

Erm, excuse me, the only thing that's truly crisp is SMARTWATER and we all know that.

 

[Zu]

I do wish there were more information films about not getting your hair caught in the doors of lifts - which are EVERYWHERE THESE DAYS - and having your head torn off as it’s always happening to me

Much better when we had those lifts that DIDN'T STOP between floors and you just had to jump on and off and cross your fingers

I don't know WHAT they did to them (apart from turning the packet ORANGE) but they're ALL WRONG

 

[Kate]

The area at the bottom of every Moopy thread

 

[ButterTart]

Hollyoaks since they got rid of the university.

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

Horror movies. I just don't get scared anymore

 

[Marina Salty]

The climate

 

[ButterTart]

They’ve forgotten what makes them scary. The new Candyman is a great example of this.

Even I’VE never bought THEM

 

[Zu]

Boxes of cereal since they took the toys out

I think this has to be my favourite so far because of the undercurrent of melancholy and terrible sense of loss
