10 years ago I was spending every spare minute in a recording studio, happily making music when I was officially working, due to administrative error.
Don't do much of that anymore.
I've pretty much stopped drinking red wine and dark spirits, it's white wine or vodka these days. Unless there's Diplomatico RE available, that stuff is addictive.
Not much else has changed!
Cheers..

Played in a rugby match without needing oxygen after a juicy tackle!
I don't think there have been any cheques since the nineties - you definitely can't use them anywhere in this country. Paper map - this week, fax maybe once this year.
As an Everton supporter watched the stuffiest turn around in champions league history - thank god they will never reach those heights again. Instead of trying to beat Barcelona next season, they need to work out how to get past Crystal Palace - happy days. Everton are shit and i am happy with that, as long as we are not in that bloody Europa League again next season.
Sausage Rolls
10 years ago, if I had to drive somewhere new, the night before I'd go to the RAC route planner website and print off instructions to use as a guide.
Now I just use googlemaps on the iPhone
Just to put the opposite spin on this, 10 years ago I never had to wind any of my watches up.
Now I do.
Eat processed food - once you stop eating it, if you go somewhere and have to have it - tastes like shit
Spot on. I haven´t eaten processed in years, if I have it now, just doesn´t taste right. I´m lucky that I have the time and inclination to always cook from scratch. That to me is a simple luxury. Of course a decent bottle of wine usually for under about 3 quid helps.:)
Daily commute, stress of managing staff, and attending pointless meetings.
10 years ago I never obsessed or worried about the fact I have no pension
Smoke and Beach holidays
10 years ago I did:
Eat no meat
Run long distance cross-country
Shoot at folks (generally only if they started it.....)
Play Golf
Not see myself with any kids or married. (He is 7 and a bit now..., she's older, I'm married nearly 3 yrs now)
Ten years ago, I would avidly read every thread & post on this board.
Now, I don't.
Wow just 3 %. Slop is an accurate decription.
Drink in excess!
Never did.
Daily.
Fax only 3 times and all sínce 2005.
If anything I have tried abstain from being lured into new consumer traps.
My phone is >10 years and prepay, about 10 Euros/month.
Both family cars are >10, my desk top is pre millennium and my espresso machine pre semi conductors.
I refuse satnav because I prefer to knów where I am/go and not asking the way would be ever such a loss of social interaction.
As to married and such I never saw that as good and am very content with the alternative model. Reading the chnages surprisingly many report, that is éver such a good choise. I suppose a change of dish wets the appetite.
We used mainly gas heating then and now are on 100% wood.
Ditto we have made drastic changes in use of electricity.
The biggest change I made when my son was in the oven/born; fundamentally changed my risk behaviour. He is 13 now.
Just received the anniversary Bond Corgy which will be present for him when he gets his end of year school results. It will last him longer than a new video game ánd appreciates it more.

Worry about what the wife thinks? Divorced with a lovely girlfriend
Had a season ticket at Southend United, travelled the country watching them. Now I go once in a blue moon and don't miss it at all.
Walking my dog. He went with the wife unfortunately... now I sing in three choirs.
Amputee Football I was the chairman of our club. I now play golf, I'm obsessed by it
I don't do DIY anymore or:
Mow the lawn
Dig the garden

Cruise
Dads f***ing taxi
Go to boring art shows

I did not go there 10 years ago either.
Slow food all days then and today.
We eat food from real ingredients. Mostly home grown. Veggies and (very moderately) meat.
For bread we order a variety of eco granes and have a mill to ground those.
Unfortunately state imposed ´heath´regulations in reality supporting the food industry have forced us to reduce food production for our own use. No more goat milk/cheese p.e. As to goat meat we have made a deal with the neighbors who keep a few billies off the records anyway.
The latter is not so much a chánge as a vastly increased awarenes; that the law is not ethical persé and often not in our interest. Also the extend of that is ever worsening. See the TTIP/ISDS negotiations.
As we are about a before and after, then it must be noted that 911 was a major turning point for all of us. MUCH more and more fundamental than we tend to realise. And no the changes nor the underlying motives affecting our daily lives are not coming from the east but from the wést.
