I'm with you Tim......
 altho I'd swap the menthols for proper cigarettes
Lose the cards stamps socks and marker pen and add a case of beer and a hot tub.......
Oh and I'd add some hot and cold running women! :D

Young me, between 1975 and 1985 would want something like:

- a crate or two of beer
- Senior Service or Gold Flake cigarettes
- hair gel, lots of
- eye liner, lots of
- a suitable selection of sunglasses
- loud hi fi with lots of Killing Joke on it
- everything painted black (not a good combination with shades, but there you go)
- lots of nubile young members of the opposite sex

Current me would want:

- half a bottle of nice red wine (not Cab Sauv as that gives me a headache)
- green tea
- ambient music on the hifi
- massage and people doing chants
- comfy sofa
- pastel colours
- lots of hair gel (some things never change)
- lots of middle aged members of the opposite sex, OK scrub that I guess it should be the wife and son.


Make sense?

I saw the backstage area at a big Red Hot Chili Peppers gig a few years ago. Was somewhat surprised to see they had a creche, massage area and meditation area! But I guess we all get old....

Cheers,

Nigel

I never thought of Guinness.

Or a nice 14 y.o Oban.

A nice loo with a comfy seat is a given I think.

Chocolate Brazil nuts.

Ice cold milk.

Oat biscuits and Stilton.

A bottle of Margaux, or Fleurie at a push.

Whole meal bread, a toaster, Danish butter and thick cut orange marmalade
