Banned ... but good!

Brilliant! What a load of rubbish for wimps dear old Santa brings these days. What happened to those innocent days spent assembling your own atomic lab whilst sniffing Dabitoff and your benzedrine-soaked inhaler?

 

No wonder we call them the good old days,but when asked why we cant remember the reason!!!!!

 

Nothing wrong with that lot. Morphine - excellent pain killer. Cannabis - makes the patient happy. Nitroglycerin - useful for heart attacks and angina.

 

I'm surprised it's not doled out by the bottle every Friday night. Would have effectively prevented last summer's riots, I'm sure.

What are spasms, anyway?

 

As i read all these banned items it just makes me want to rebel and do as much as i can to still use them

It makes me angry to think of how many years these things have been used - freely and successfully, surely as man evolves into a more intelligent being (??) he doesn't need to be wrapped up in the proverbial cotton wool :gaagh::gaagh::gaagh:

 

Thanks Dai - have always used it on my dahlias and Cannas over the winter or when splitting them.

 

Only if it has been "passed" by Nuns

I was thinking that too, then I thought somemore and realised it could be the reason that people now live to 80 rather than 62

I mean when you are sixty and in pain what could be better than your kids easing the pain (IN GOOD FAITH )with weekly bottles of CHLORODYNE :-)

What about a good Malt -or even a Gold Bacardi and Coke?

My Grandad was 82 when the Doc. told him to give up smoking.
He said that his reply was that he'd given up Women and Beer but there was no way he was giving up the fags.
Doc was probably right - he only lasted another 4 years! (that was back in '68.)

 

Hmmm, but our bodies weren't designed to live longer, it's mans super-arrogance that's decided we should live that much longer - and in doing so we have conditions like dementia etc etc to deal with

 

I would rather have Parkinsons than Altzheimers
At least you would have half your drink left, than forgot where the whole lot was

(Sorry)

I must confess, I only read a few pages of this thread, but here goes.

When I was a kid, like all little boys, I had a collection of toy soldiers. All the different factions from WW2.

I had a range of other accessories for them, including heavy artillery.

My favourite piece was a small plastic model of the kind of wheeled big gun that my grandad (Royal Artillery veteran) might have fired. You could adjust the elevation on it, and you pulled a lever down, slid a thing to the side at the start of the barrel, pushed a match stick in, fiddled a bit more, and then pulled a lever and the match stick would come out with enough force to knock over maybe 5 or 6 poorly positioned enemy plastic soldiers.

This toy cannon got banned, because apparently if you pointed it at someone's face, it could injure people's eyes.

So while the Black Widow catapult, .22 air rifles and .17 air pistols were still occupying prime shelf positions in certain shops, a small plastic spring loaded cannon that could fire a match stick for maybe 6ft was banned.
