    I remember my dad when I was a kid would say "bloody hell and forty" that was his swear word basically. 😂 I have no idea what the forty was for but we knew if he said that he was annoyed 😄

    I remember when I was maybe 8 or 9 and left at home for an hour while my parents helped a neighbour do something. I thought I'd make them some scones for when they got home, my dad still laughs about the blue ( I thought food colouring would make them look pretty) hard lumps of scone 😂 I use the word scone loosely as they were only flour and water. They both pretended to eat .. God bless em 😆 I was asked not to cook again while they weren't at home 😬

    I remember having the best childhood memories because of my uncle. He took my brother and I under his wing while my parents were going through a nasty divorce. He took us to camping trips, to the movies, we'd have sleepovers at his house. His wife was an artist so we'd paint and draw. He made us eat clam chowder and we hated it sooo much 😂He was such a blessing and a huge role model for us. Unfortunately, he had a really bad heart attack last year and today he's in the hospital because he's having complications. This thread brought back so many wonderful memories we had with him 🥲

    Im sorry to hear your uncle is in hospital 😔
    Sounds like he was a true blessing 💜

    I remember landlines, nobody had a phone of their own, it was just 'the phone' in every house.

    I remember in the early internet days, Yahoo and Lycos dominated search engines. Google didn't exist yet.

    I remember MSN messenger being a thing :#

    I remember going with a small group of friends to visit our pal Garry at the bar where he was working. Early days of the Internet. Empty bar. Huge tv screen. And he showed us what the world wide web could do, the picture opening slowly from the top down. I was shocked. Shocked I tell you.

    I remember my second eldest daughter at about 18 months coming to me for a cuddle and she had black insect legs around her mouth.. I don't know what she ate but to this day we tease her that she ate cockroaches 🤣😂

    Truth. I was trying to explain tv to my 6 year old. Just television. Lol. Waiting every day or every week for “your show”. At a specific time. With commercials.

    I remember when I used to rush back from school to listen to Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Familly Matters.

    I remember my 2nd grade teacher, her name was Margueritte and she was evil, she always pulled on my pig tails when I didn't listen and I was scared of her.

    I think the correct word was watch because I didn't just listen to it 😅 😂
