To miss E?

[CroutonCrab]

Might be all the stress in the world at the moment but it’s made me think about what I’d give for a couple of doves and the clammy hands that come with them. Don’t think my heart could take it now

It's been 19 years, yes it's dangerous, but oh it was just amazing at the time, the happiness, the feeling of coming up and up and up, the dancing when the bass kicked in, the feeling of I really, reeeeeeealy love you...

Those were the days, I would never do such a thing now! - clutches pearls-

YANBU, to be 20 and running around London again.

Even smoking I miss, although I don’t want to now. I enjoyed dancing with a cigarette, being crammed into a pub with everyone drinking and smoking.
I know I’d hate it now and the health risks etc are vile..but I liked not being aware/guilty/concerned about that, if that makes sense?
Any else feel really quite dull these days? 😂
Surely for all those who lived and enjoyed living excessively like that, it’s part of our personalities...where does that person go?

I can remember walking into the Astoria on a jungle night called Roast. It was like a religious experience, just phenomenal. Sometimes didn't think I'd escape my twenties alive, wild times 💗

I kind of miss it. The anticipation, the music and the fact that I didn't have a care the world. Don't miss the comedowns. I can't even drink alcohol anymore because my hangovers were so bad as I hurtle towards menopause. Life was good back then.

@TokyoSushi Yes! That point when the bass kicked in 🙏

More people die crossing the road because more people cross the road.

You are definitely, definitely NBU.

I am so nostalgic for those days.

Meet me at the Cross, no The End, no ok then Turnmills- is a very nice bistro/artisan bread shop now where you are allowed to sit down! However no drugs for sale or trance beats.

Ah wrong flipping thread lol

Yep! Couldn’t, wouldn’t do it now but was great at the time. This thread has made me smile 😃.

evileyecherry all those evil chemicals must have made us stupid as well as irresponsible

Coke for me, but yanbu

This.

I still have a very occasional night. I can’t wait for my next one :)

Oh god I only ever took it once, in Ibiza 2003 with my best mate. I was 30 and on the cusp of settling down. So I had a massive hurrah that holiday.

It was absolutely fucking amazing. I still remember the absolute euphoria, we went raving (obvs) and I will never forget it.

Took another pill the night after and it was ok. Obviously a shit one so never bothered again. But God yeah, fucking epic!

I’m allowed an opinion - and specifically said each to their own 🤷‍♀️

@Whatnext2018

Yanbu..oh mid to late 90’s..15–18 years old...take me back! The feeling of ‘Coming up’ as you walked into the club (if you timed taking it perfectly beforehand) Dancing until 6 when the lights came up, a load of you back to someone’s for the night/morning and the inevitable comedown. No camera phones, real posing, botox, boob jobs (well not many I don’t think!) or big lips..dancing in Adidas trainers and short skirts and crop tops. The music, the atmosphere, the buzz. It’s like some far off land..another life, now I’m early 40’s with a toddler 😂 Anyone from Manchester way? Bowlers, Hacienda, The Boardwalk, Cream (Liverpool obvs)

Yes!

Couldn't agree more (though it doesn't take a shitstorm of a year like this to make feel wistful about that era) and you've chosen my favourites.

Ah wrong flipping thread lol

It still kind of worked though 😉

Glorifying drugs is abysmal.

Many people die from it, many of them very young. And an awful lot more get sucked into a cycle of dependency and abuse by others.

But sure, go ahead and act ‘cool’.

I played Brainbug Nightmare for my daughter last week. We were having a cruise and had music up loud. Shame I’m 48 and too old to do anything but enjoy the music and the memories.

She did say she understands why I’m quite deaf now.

Totally yesssss! I get similar highs from spin & body pump classes these days.

Lol @Heartofglass12345 coming on to this thread reminds me of a the time e came to the town I grew up in. I was home for the weekend and in a club which had opened and everyone was off their heads on e. A load of the drinkers from the town thought they would try the new club and they didn't know what the fuck was going on. Everyone sweating, no one really drinking, people chewing the faces off themselves and everyone all loved up. There were people giving strangers massages and the dancing was completely different to the drinking bars. It didn't take them long to find out what was going on. Unfortunately a lot of people ended up with serious drug addictions and mental health issues. It doesn't end well for everyone.

I still have the very very occasional night out but nothing will ever be as good as a cream all-nighter back in the late 90s

I miss it all as well. But I now have two young children so wouldn’t think about it now. But what memories
