Taking a fiver out of the ATM.

Funnily enough I went to get money out yesterday down the village and noticed a new bank machine. Its one of those generic ones that are becoming common in the north, not associated with any of the banks. Anyway it offered me multiples of £5 up to £20 and then multiples of 10. I asked for £20 and it gave me 4 fivers. Sign of the recession!

Probably charged you a fiver for using it too!

Kids being kids. I think they turn 12 and are automatically 18.....

Innocence.

Do people stay play board games?
Tree huts and guiders

Tire swings over rivers and home made rafts

All day games of rounders

A street in Armagh without a hairdressers, cafe, charity shop  or European Food Store

We do. Then again we don't vote f*cking Republican.

I play board games too Seafoid, in fact we all played scrabble on Monday night there. No joke.

I also don't vote Republican in America. i don't vote it all. I can't, I'm not a citizen.
I vote SF in Ireland, if that's what you mean.

Why did you ask if people still play board games, Iceman ? Depends if they have kids or not .
I don't think things have gone to pot yet.

[The Iceman]

I asked because I didn't know if anyone else did or not. It's not really something you bring up in general conversation.....

If kids still play them these days (my kids are too young). I haven't seen them about anymore

[BennyCake]

Kids playing conkers.

Bookstores (the few that are left) and shops like Target have sections devoted to board games, so they must be popular.

[The Iceman]

Eamonn I have seen them in the shops - I just remember growing up playing them a lot and don't see them in any house now or hear of anyone playing them.
I remember one called Hero Quest when I was young. Frig we spent hours playing it. I'd imagine GTA has taken over today.

Are there still Fane Valley vans driving about at home? I remember one used to stop on our lane once a week selling food and sweets etc.

Don't see milkmen that much anymore.

In America theres hardly any DVD rental shops, NetFlix has done away with most of them.
