Music festivals for me.

Noisy, crowded, awful sound and a nightmare to get to and from.

Not to mention the lack of decent beer.

Not jealous at all of all the Glastonbury pics on my fb feed.

Swings (at a playground)

Yunki - Bet you used to hate it back then as well, the morning after anyway.

Alcohol.
Used to love it.
Knocking on 40 it disagrees with me in a major way.

Getting so wasted I didn't know my own name.

Did it for many years and had a great time. But these days - a few mellow beers and a good chat does me.

Killing things for no reason, like shooting spuggies with an air rifle.

Guzzling lager to excess.

I'm not so good on rollercoasters as I used to be either.

Arguing/debating stuff. Used to really enjoy a few beers and discussing, well, anything.

I just cannot be arsed now; probably because I've just formed an opinion most people are stupid - possibly me too 🙂

I was going to add rollercoasters as well. Used to love them but now they just scare me.

Spending whole weekends in the pub.

Had some good times which I'd never change but probably should have spent some time doing something more rewarding!

Though I guess it helps me appreciate my cycling more...

Spending whole weekends in the pub.

We were having this discussion yesterday. Ironically over a lunchtime pint. Remember the pre-kids days when if the sun was out, you'd just go to the pub and sit in the beer garden pretty much all weekend? Just because you could. Seems an awful long time ago now.

I'm with fasthaggis on this
Killing things.

Used to be a gamekeeper and I was bloody good at my job which meant I was a bit of a murderous bastard.
These days I'd do the shooting with a camera instead 🙂

sniff a condom up my nostril, pull it out through my mouth from the back of my throat and tug it back and forth through my sinuses. Great party trick. Makes everything smell of strawberry spermicide for ages though. Dont fancy doing that again.

Work for a salary/wage

Oh, and freehand rockclimbing; both had their dangers and pleasures, but in hindsight, both were stupid and a waste of time/money/effort.

Sled dog racing - now I couldn't handle the cold. I'd still like the whole dog training/handling part of it though.

Bad night clubs - used to be fun, no longer.
Cheap lager - I'll pay more for something good now.
Crashing at people's houses - now I either get a cab home or a hotel.
Cars - now an expensive tool that I rent not buy.
Red Bull - formerly on expensive habit, not foul sugary crap

Racing a road bike. I used to do it, it'd be on the front pulling hard all day for the glory boys.

What a total waste of time and effort.

Bitter, me? Oh yes 😆

Getting off my face,
Now I don't like not being in full control of my faculties even in the slightest.
