I really miss.........

[BrassMan]

Top Gear: Rally Report.
Fred Dibnah.
Thes smells of creosote and of toluene in marker pens.

Marlboro livery in Formula One (Ferrari).
The Camel Trophy.
Being younger.

The only thing you get to look forward to when you're older is having bills, working long hours at a st job, losing friends as everyone starts their own families, kids that hate you (not me - no pesky children, phew!), a deteriorating physique (and eyesight), developing a beer belly etc.

There's nothing good about growing up, and the problem is, if you decide to act not like a grown up adult - you get this: "God, act your age!".

My god, you can read minds. Those things are exactly the same as I was thinking today. Most my friends have families, horrible jobs and a joyless life.

Those small chocolate covered cracknell bars from the early '70s that had little Minis in different colours on the wrapper.

Fourboys newsagents.

My Grandad's Mk1 Granada estate.

Carefree youth.

Friday and Saturday nights on the lash with the lads, also waking up and the hangover not an issue, these days a few beers about kills me in the mornings.

That said would be nice to have a good night out with the lads once in a while.

One of the things I miss the most, almost every day in fact is the relationship I had with one of my closest friends. We both grew up into responsible adults with commitments and wives, him with children.

The youth I grew into adulthood with has changed almost beyond recognition, we used to be the life and soul of the party, life has changed us. I feel really saddened, I suppose you'd say I feel grief for the loss.

Having said all that depressing crap, I love my life now, I have more and possibly even better friends.

I know he posts but his contributions to the match.com thread were both frequent and funny. I miss them.

There's a Spud U Like in the horrendously busy food court in Westfields, Stratford, East London.

It's the only outlet without a queue and 4 staff with nothing to do

Having plenty of free time...
