I feel sorry for kids of today
There's no cycling through the country side and finding a tattered jazz mag under a bush. I know this has been brought up a lot but it really was a rite of passage for so many of us!

I did once find a nearly complete set of nudey playing cards in a bricked up old wartime bunker, I must have been about 12 or so and used to go down there with my friend from school and we used to smoke cigarettes (because we were so very, very cool). We crawled into this space and she saw them first and I played it off with a 'oh, that's disgusting, yes, very horrible' all the while hatching my cunning plan that I had to have them. After we'd smoked our cigarette each, being always the gent I allowed her to crawl out first before scooping them all up and stuffing them in my pocket.

We hung out a bit around the area before going back in a bit later for another smoke, she crawled in first and got quite scared that they were gone, "someone else has been in here!" she said, to which I tried to reassure her that we'd be safe and I'd protect her if anything happened. I can't even remember how I managed to go back into the shelter with her, I have no idea what I was doing hanging around so long!

I saw those playing cards again a few years later; they were the same deck used when Tommy and Turkish are playing cards in the caravan at the beginning of Snatch. Brought me back, seeing that in the movie!
