Slightly controversial but antibiotics. Yes they have saved lives, but long term they could result in the death of the human race. They have basically made us all into weedy wimps who have little immune or no system left.

The Internet. Loved the "good old days", then you could go somewhere without everybody know about it and being able to contact you.

Smart phones - any cell phone beyond a Nokia 210 - where you can only talk on it.......no text.......no email.......nothing but voice.

Youtube , 

 

Without Youtube there would be no Justin Bieber,  And we would still be listening to real pop music.

That's hilarious - awesome.....

The bloke who "discovered" America

the Wallaby's rugby team (I'll add England to that as well)

condom packets which take a sharp-as-razor fingernail to open.

Heat of the moment, both of you panting and sweating, ......and then you reach for the packet, and fumble around for several minutes while cursing the manufacturer.  

 

The Republican Party wants to ban pornography.  Perhaps it's not an invention, but......

Indeed, there's a large breasted woman carved onto a walrus tooth from about 27,000 years ago.  World's first porno?

That brought back a few memories, my mum was from Bethnal Green and I knew every road and house number location in Bellingham....My mini-cab days....:stoner:

Transam

Belling ham,home of the Cooper Boys.Bellingham Boys Boxing Club.

The Fellowship inn.Had a few in there .The Hard man of the Aria was a guy call Clive Garthwaite,a real monster(deceased)

My mums family were out of Moremead Rd.And my grandads Boozer was the Railway Tavern,just under the bridge.He used to run a loan club out of there.The beer was 'Beezleys' And my old grandad drank Brown and Mild.

During the war(he was too young for the first,and too old for the second) he was the black market geezer to see.Roles of carpet.Boxes of Scotch,anything you wanted.My nan(who could manage a few choice words) used to get very,,,angry you might say when drunken mates would knock him up at 3 am asking for a bottle of gold watch for the road.

Back to Henry.

When i was a kid,i used to go to the London Transport sports days(the LT had a very big sports side) And if i won a race or a field event,it was usually 'Our Enry' who gave out the prizes.I met him on several occasions.Years later ,when i was working on the Insurance company refurb in Holburn,i went to WH Smiths at the top of leather Lane to get Muhammed Ali's book.'The Greatest' I met him and shook his hand and was very happy to know that id'e met the two men who fought back in the day,And how Henry Cooper nearly got a knock out,But for Angelo Dundee cutting the Glove,i think Cooper could have won it.

 

 

I do not move out of the way when Thai people are using their phones and not watching where they are going, they get a good head bump from me, and their fault. Heads up.

Electric chairs, which happened to have been invented by Thomas Alva Edison.

 

Fentanyl would be a much better way to die.  Just take a few hits orally, go to sleep, and then it's game over.

 

There's a mega-form of the stuff hitting N. America: carfentanyl. It's elephant tranquilizer, 100 times stronger than Fentanyl which itself is about 100 times stronger than morphine. read more

 

Note: just in the first 6 days after the drug arrived in Cincinnati Ohio, there were 174 deaths from overdoses!

 

1 kg can produce 50 million fatal doses.  It's made in China and usually shipped through Mexico to places north.  Canadians (and Ohio people) are among the biggest users.

Sorry, no cigar !

Alfred P. Southwick. Alfred P. Southwick (1826–1898), was a steam-boat engineer, dentist and inventor from Buffalo, New York. He is credited with inventing the first electric chair as a method of legal execution.

Consul 315, not 375, puhlease!!!!!   Nostalgia has to be correct or some people younger than 60 will never understand how cool a 4-door budget version of the original Capri really was.   My dad had a 315 as a work car in a local council job.  In the darkest corner of the Commonwealth, no less.  How cool was that?  I dined out at an expensive private school for months on that.
