Were things better in the 1980's?

I will argue yes with this list: The jam,

the smiths

joy division

tv snooker

tv darts

football was more entertaining

4 tv channels that was somehow better than the hundreds we have now

the old 29


now everything just seems ****. any ideas why this is?

 

The Snorks.

 

Things were better before you came on here, you boring black and white ****er

 

Love and kisses to you.

 

daft question of course not

 

I don't think there's any particular rules that have come into force since the 80's that don't allow Transvestites to compete at either Snooker or Darts.

 

Depends what you were doing I guess.

 

I had a bike in the 1980s. I haven't got a bike now

 

No mortgage
Cheaper beer
Cheeper ***s
Playing out
No 24 hour TV

Awlays on the lads back, me also, but he has a point.

Come on then playstation and x box generation, please state what is better now than 20 years ago?

 

My sex life for starters.

 

Aye but cosmetic drugs, and silicone implants are easy, but would you really want to be a kid now, in the age of ****ing boredom and no interaction with other?

 

The jam, Apart from a couple of songs totally over rated.

the smiths Dross.

joy division More dross.

tv snooker Beginning of the overkill that destroyed its watchability.

tv darts I would rather stick darts in my eyes.

football was more entertaining No it wasn't.

4 tv channels That put out as much **** as all the multiple channels do now. With a couple of gems hidden away just like now.

the old 29 Filthy **** hole, with flooring covered in sticky sick, beer and broken glass. That could rip the soles of the strongest shoes

 

The Old 29 was an amazing place, wish it was still there, the same as it was.

 

This is something me and our lass constantly talk/have a go at her (overweight and lazy) 13 year old son. He spent the last 6 week's holidays stuck in his bedroom playing online with his friends. He couldn't quite understand when we were telling him, that when we were his age our parents would have to drag us in on a night, on a daily basis. I was a kid 20yr back and although computers were available we were always out at the park, chasing lasses or whatever, or in my case constantly running about with a ball at my feet pretending I was a Sunderland player. Times have changed so much and for the worse.

So to answer your question Comm, would I like to be a kid now with all the latest gadgets?

Not a ****ing chance.

 

70's were far better than the 80's. Discuss

xxx

 

Particularly 73'

 

Ian Curtis died in 1980 so not too sure about that one. The 90s were better without question. The 60s were better again.

 

I'd say the 90's were the best decade. That said, I can attribute good memories to that decade. I miss my childhood
