We have a Park that backs on to our property and in the Children's play area one Sunday morning I found about 20 empty canisters under the climbing frame
All I could think of was how inconsiderate they were to not tidy up after themselves as I collected all the spent canisters/balloons together before putting them in the bin 10 feet away.
the mrs says i mannifest the look of a disgusted 1922 committe tory back bencher while doing so.
it was a look i pulled off perfectly in my suit in the late nineties when exiting the plastic strip curtains of various soho sex shops for 3 bottles of amyl nitrate on lunchtime jaunts .
turning round and effecting a "ive never been so disgusted in all my life" look on my kipper , before haughtily catching the central line back to bank and dreaming of prolonged aggressive orgasms while spangled on liquid gold/rave/reds.
in all seriousness i see these cannisters/ballons all over the place in east london/essex.
i was down brick lane on friday night and they were young professional twenty somethings all at it as well.
all looking like ali bongo making baloon animals on the paul daniels magic show.
i must be getting old .

I mean in my day it was a bottle of thunderbird, 10 B&H and a quick snog and a finger in the Bushes
ahhh the good old days
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I was at a festival earlier this summer, and literally every ten seconds you'd hear a balloon inflating inside someone's tent, it was really odd - like over the space of 12 months the festival drug of choice had changed from MDMA to nitrous oxcide.
It's been around for ages, but seems to have hit a critical mass where it's crossed over into the mainstream.
It's amazing how you can see the media hysteria leading up to the inevitable ban on consuming them developing. The Saturday morning news headlines on Sky and BBC about youtube videos glamoursing usage and feeding an epidemic was incredibly predictable.
It's insane how common usage is and i do find it a bit weird when i see (or hear more accurately) people doing them in broad daylight in parks BUT relatively they are incredibly harmless. Banning them when cigarettes are legal would be pretty depressing but not suprising.
I did see a report that the OB are going to be confiscating helium balloons at V Fest this year.
I have this image of them all being put in the back of one transit van which subsequently takes off and drifts on the breeze over the hills to Chelmsford town centre
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal
For me it says everything you need to know about the music/youth culture of this generation. From Ecstasy and Acid House/Rave/Jungle to Balloons/Ket and Chase n Status.
I was at a festival 2 years ago and security sometimes was and sometimes wasn't confiscating it.
The police in London Fields on Saturday were asking the guys selling them in the day to leave but ignoring people taking them....and then by around 7pm they seemed to let the same guys back in and not care....and that's in Hackney which is supposedly cracking down on them. Guys selling them in the park have a nice little money earner going on!
i remember hearing about nitrous oxide around 1996 when this came out
side effects include vitamin b deficiency a sore tongue and a pale skin!!
"would you know it not here than more than 30 seconds and already i see a bad little kid doing bad little things he is sucking on a balloon now this is not an ordianary ballon parents it is filled with nitrus oxide Laughing gas HA HA HA HA HA"

Nitrous oxide is for bunging in your motor - makes a clapped out old mondeo faster than a rabbi on a bike going past Hitler's house. Doing drugs out doors is sooooooooooooo unsophisticated.
Well you've either got or you ain't Captn BTW I may be in a minority of 1 but I like a nice Bush

I'm too long in the tooth for that kind of stuff these days (apart from the occasional joint if i go and see a band). But out of interest, what's the hit - upper, downer, hallucinogen, etc?
It's quite trippy, with acid-y visuals and auditory hallucinations. Only lasts a minute or two. It can be quite good fun, had it once where it felt like time was going backwards and I could predict what was coming next.
Its nothing amazing but a nice high for a minute or two. The thing that makes it pretty popular is how cheap it is and the fact its quite good in a group.
