  The Good Old Days - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Good Old Days was a popular BBC television light entertainment television programme which ran from 1953 to 1983.
It was recorded live at the [[Leeds City Varieties] and recreated an authentic atmosphere of the Victorian–Edwardian music hall with songs and sketches of the era performed by present-day performers in the style of the original artistes.
The Good Old Days was inspired by the success of the "Ridgeway's Late Joys" at the Players' Theatre Club in London: a private members' club that ran fortnightly programmes of variety acts in London's West End.

 LRB | Sheila Fitzpatrick : The Good Old Days   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
While the Soviet regime may be said to have discouraged consumerism by keeping goods scarce, it was not ideologically on the side of asceticism.
More goods (especially luxury goods) was conflated with more culture; and in a society where it was hard to get enamel bowls to wash up in, connoisseurs of silverware were held up for emulation and newspapers ran stories on the delivery of grand pianos to Stakhanovite milkmaids.
In the Soviet Union, as in Eastern Europe, Western goods were coveted, and their arrival en masse with the collapse of the regime at first seemed like a miracle.

 Petersen Collection - Good Old Days - Leon and HOrtense Auerbach
God is punishing me because a few years ago when I was on a train going to visit Grandfather, I saw two deaf ladies and I made fun of the way they were signing.
(In those days, husband and wife couldn't both be employed by the state.) We lived in Arizona for only one year but have vivid recollections of picnics in the colorful mountains surrounding the school, the dust storms, the 100 plus degree temperatures in summer, the month-long Cowboy Days celebration in February.
One day I was talking with a friend and a fl lady came across the street and pointed to our children, who were sitting on the sidewalk throwing bottles in the middle of the traffic on Florida Avenue.

Come opening day of quail season, we would set out on a circle tour (more or less) with stops at all the birdy places we'd noted during off-season and at any suspicious looking new coverts.
In those days, we could pattern the birds' location throughout the day with pretty remarkable accuracy, it being common to put dogs on the ground within a few yards of the birds.
They were not the ground-gainers of present day all-age field trials, but they were lightning fast and covered all the right places.

Over breakfast on Monday morning we were reminiscing about some of the wilder moments in the old days after a young motorhomer explained that she was feeling a bit rough after a night on the sauce.
Of course, it was the Easter weekend and millions of Paulistanos and Paulistanas had loaded up their goods and chattels and headed off to do whatever it is that Brazilians do on holiday (increasing the population and so on).
All the robbers and kidnappers, feeling that the holiday would mark a low point for their trade had gone off home to be nice to their mothers and to give (stolen) chocolate bunnies to the kids next door.

One day when I was a teenager in Western Oklahoma, one of my friends (Larry Baker) and I were messing around a prairie dog town.

I don't recall getting to eat any of the stew (or if it was even fixed) but we did have a good laugh then, and many laughs later in the telling of this story.

When you waltzed your matilda along the well marked track and watched for the swagman’s signs on the gate post or tree, telling you whether you were wasting your time trying to get work or a free feed at some properties on the track.
Some tracks, especially after a good wet would have wild sweet potatoes or yams growing along the creek banks and many a damper was flavoured with wild passionfruit or gerkin.
You stuffed bark or old newspaper if you had any, into your boots when the sole wore out, and wire laces were the in thing.

 Excessive Candour -- The Good Old Stuff
In The Good Old Stuff, he gives us an anthology of what he has chosen to call adventure SF originally published between 1948 to 1971 (the sequel will cover 1977 to 1998).
By the time the first story in The Good Old Stuff--"The Rull" by A.E. Van Vogt--was originally published, in the May 1948 issue of Astounding, adventure SF had become essentially comic.
It is very far from being her best story; but it's galaxies remote from almost all of the good old stuff gathered here.

The Good Old Days ran for thirty years from 20th July 1953 and was introduced for the majority of its run by celebrated chairman Leonard Sachs (who took over from Don Gemmell).
The show was broadcast from the City Varieties in Leeds, one of the last true Victorian Music Halls still in existence.
The assembled audiences for The Good Old Days were expected to dress in period costume (and stick-on side-whiskers and fake moustaches!) and 'ooh' and 'aah' in all the appropriate places as Sachs introduced the

THE GOOD OLD NAUGHTY DAYS compiles 12 pornographic French shorts, produced between 1905 and 1925, restored by the Archives of the Centre National de la Cinematographie in 2002.
Originally designed to be shown in the waiting rooms of brothels, these films graphically and often shockingly reveal that there is nothing new under the sun when it comes to sex.
Surprisingly well-made--despite often uncooperative costumes--these twelve films, while definitely explicit, convey a spirit of fun and humor which is absent from modern films of a similar nature.

 Good Old Boat Newsletter - April 2004
We recently learned of a new resource for good old boaters: the NADA Appraisal Guides which enable boaters to look up retail values of boats when in the market as buyers or sellers (or for any other reason for that matter).
There are other boats, too: the old aluminum fishing boat (1955 Cadillac 13-footer), the 1957 DN iceboat, the 1962 Glaspar I/O runabout, the rowing shell (Scullcraft 18-footer), and the Cape Charles 18-foot kayak (launched 1997 and built from Chesapeake Light Craft plans).
One day I sailed the iceboat in the morning and paddled the kayak in the afternoon (in different places).

Underneath the heading "Those Were the Days," and reproduced here, are pictures of smiling officers at a site where some 700,000 people were exterminated in the gas chambers.
Most of the events described are related through several people (making the reading a bit tedious) and in all cases the stories, while slightly different in detail - and almost always apologetic when told after the passage of time - would make my stomach wrench at how indifferently the waste of human life was taken.
"The Good Old Days" is recommended reading for anyone trying to understand the Holocaust and how such an event so pivotal in the history of man could have happened.

Then consider that the average wage was something like 15 cents an hour in those "good old days." You might be carrying around a king's ransom of 1898 dollars in your wallet, but people back then weren't.
We may think they had life easier back then, and they may tell us of better days, when life was grand like we see in the movies.
Indeed, if we are feeling pinched these days, it may be coming more from the cost of living high than the high cost of living.

Many farmers did not own threshing machines so the ones who did hired out throughout the neighborhood.

Oats were sowed in the early spring using either a horse-drawn in-gate seeder or grain drill.
