| 855667 | 2010-02-06 01:24:00 | Ee you were lucky..... It were cold,wi no tea in it. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper. But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor. Right enough, the simplest things in life used to please us and give us great pleaure. It was my job to tear up The Daily Mirror (of course) into squares, crumple the pieces to make them soft and push them over the nail in the door of the outside bog. Hence that tune called black bottom (www.jazz-on-line.com) |

| 855668 | 2010-02-06 01:54:00 | Luxury - we were allowed to lick the puddles but only one lick, and only on Sundays. And we had to put the mud and horse manure back. Ah we were poor alright, my old Dad used to say to me, "Money doesn't buy you happiness, son". I was happier then and I had nothin'. We used to live in this tiny old house with great big holes in the roof. Well, when I say 'house' it was only a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, but it was a house to us. We didn't av ta listen to what out Terr calls music, in them days. |

You must have missed a lot then, that was all there was to listen to...except maybe for Albert Sandler and the Palm Court Orchestra on a sunday night, oh and of course strict tempo with Victor Silvester..slow slow quick quick slow.. Oh, I forgot you couldn't afford a cup of tea and and a crystal set. |

| 855671 | 2010-02-06 03:53:00 | Interesting, Though it has no affect on me what others wish to do. And when I'm overseas I enjoy the freedom to hang with people from the Old Country, to sing our songs, speak our Lingo and support whatever sporting team floats my boat on the day. Also to get boozed and start referring to everyone within hearing distance as big sloppy Aussie poofs who get their mums to wipe their bums for them. |

| 855672 | 2010-02-06 08:27:00 | I went to fill up at the gas station yesterday, and my card got declined. No biggie, rent and car payments, I used another card. Now these two jokers, as I am walking away make some joke in whatever foreign language it is that they spoke, and started laughing. Maybe it was the greatest joke in history or maybe it was they laughing at me and my declined card? I said to them "Wanna share that with us in english?", it shut them up pretty quit. Needless to say I am not amused. Are you sure you weren't just being too precious thinking they were laughing at you and not something else, as you didn't understand the lingo. Maybe you should just stay in your bunker. |

| 855675 | 2010-02-06 09:55:00 | And we had to put the mud and horse manure back. Only the well off could afford to put the mud and the horse manure back. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
| 855676 | 2010-02-06 10:41:00 | Those who were caught stealing horses manure or mud were flogged, hung, burned and excommunicated - if they were lucky. It was worse if you were over 3 years old. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
