[M+L Fan II]

I was walking along in the countryside the other weekend when I smelt one particular variety of plant or flower that took me back to when I had done the same walk about a year ago. Well, you know how a particular smell or piece of music somehow bizarely transports you to where you heard/smelt it last and that you feel the same feelings as you did then.
Now when this happened to me I felt a sense of sadness at how I felt a year ago, with slightly different attitudes, feelings etc., it all seemed so good a year ago. But then, I thought; no, actually I wasn't happy at all that time a year ago. So my question to you is:
Was I really happy a year ago when I thought I wasn't.eg. 'You don't know what you've got until it's gone'.
Or was I actually reminiscing on a past that wasn't actually there. eg 'Looking through rose-tinted spectacles'.

[Sidders]

I get that too. I normally feel sad at these sensations, but I'm not sure why. I like to feel that it's because the past has gone and you can't bring it back, and any regrets you have ever had will remain.

How deep and meaningful.

[M+L Fan II]

Thank you very much.
I just feel that I'll never be able to bring the feelings back that I had.
And I feel that perhaps I missed an oppurtunity when I had those feelings.
When I get that feeling it's always tinged with a lot of sadness. It's bizarre.

Im the same as Sidl and I also usually feel sad when I hear certain music even if i think of the ocassion as a happy one. I suppose im sad that its over

[Uglybob]

Star Trekkin by The Firm - Now thats Nostalgia

[Funky Drummer]

I get a bit nostalgic when I look back through photos of my old primary school, old friends, places I've been, people I've know, etc.

Hell yeah! I used to have it on 7". Have it on CD now which is even better! It's life Jim, but not as we know it....

[Uglybob]

yeah it was on my local station cool fm
they have a 10 at 10
yes its ten songs at 10am
but its 10 songs from the same year ala Mystery Years
The guy said that he went and bought an 8cd Best Of The 80's just to get that track. And to think i was sad for having Zig and Zag and Them Girls, Them Girls

[magenta]

My local station does the 10 at 10 thing too. They have a textline now as well, my brother gets it EVERY time and rings in/texts with names of various people. He rang in as my niece, and the guy was like "well done to <insert name> , just chilling out on the sofa today" etc.

So do you actually win anything? or just get to act smug in the knowledge you beat everyone else?

[Uglybob]

its the "oh yeah i got mentioned on the radio" feeling

[Bridgie]

what a great feeling. i need to start tx in to comps again on radio 1 to get another mention soon

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

bod is making a comeback....... if only they would bring back the little green man an zoom zoom im be able to die happy.

[Bridgie]

now you've lost me

[Morals]

I remember the little green man and zoom zoom, it was nearly as bad as Benji, Zak and the alien prince...

[Funky Drummer]

Listening to old radio 1 clips is very nostalgic for me cos I've kind of listened in one form ot another for my whole life! Like listening to clips of DLT, Jackie Brambles, Simon May, Zoe & Kev.

Ah...it brings so many memories flooding back...

[jc]

I get that with tunes on the radio. If it's something I haven't heard for a while it usually reminds me of what I was doing or where I was when I last heard it. - jc

[Nablo.]

I always get that with songs, I spose by having lots of songs they act in a way like small time capsules holding memories of people and events. I have a few songs that remind me of people just the lyrics remind me of them, or moments I've had with them when the song has been on. Brings a smile to my face thinking of them and what once was.

You will just have to accept the fact that your neice has reached that time in her life when she cannot have sex every day of the month.

I have been perusing my double volume edition of the Oxford English dictionary, and I can't seem to find the word 'neice' in it anywhere. I am slightly perplexed; perhaps it is from some sort of West country dialect.

Talking of which, I got my national anthems played by Mayo.

[Adam]

i must of missed this thread.

ad

[Uglybob]

at least someone did, i tried all the time but he would never play Stan Ridgeway for some reason

[Sidders]

I'm sure I've heard him play Camouflage in the mystery years before.
