Remember These? 25+ Throwback Memories That Defined Us
If you remember a time when the internet made that sound, phones flipped instead of scrolled, and your biggest flex was customising your Bluetooth name, congratulations, you're officially part of the 25+ club. This is your gentle (and slightly chaotic) reminder that you're now the person who says, 'Back in my day…' unironically. So buckle up and prepare for a wild ride through memory lane, because these core memories are about to hit harder than a breakup status on Facebook in 2009. 1. Blowing into a video game cartridge like you were performing CPR Because somehow, aggressively exhaling into a plastic rectangle magically fixed it. It didn't matter if it was Mario, Contra, or Duck Hunt; that puff of air was your miracle cure. Doctors could never. Scientists were baffled. You? A certified tech genius at age 9. 2. When your phone had actual buttons and you could text with your eyes closed T9 predictive text was an art form. You could type 'Where r u?' without looking, while hiding your phone under the desk during math class. Now you have a full keyboard and still can't text without autocorrect changing 'bro' to 'bronchitis.' 3. Burning CDs and naming them something like 'MIXXX VIBES VOL. 2 🔥💔' You'd spend hours carefully curating a playlist that went from Enrique Iglesias to Evanescence, because emotional whiplash was your brand. Then you'd decorate the CD with a Sharpie like it was a Grammy-worthy album. Peak creativity. 4. The trauma of accidentally hitting 'Back' after typing a long Orkut testimonial You just poured your heart out telling Priya what a 'sweet n caring soul' she is, and one wrong click took you straight back to square one. No autosave. Just heartbreak and the decision to never love again. 5. Snake on the Nokia 3310 Nothing hit quite like getting the snake to take a full lap around the screen. That little pixelated serpent taught us more about patience, strategy, and commitment than most adult relationships. Also, the 3310? Indestructible. If you threw it, the wall broke. 6. Passing notes in class like a black-market transaction A piece of paper folded 12 times, slipped like contraband from desk to desk. The message? Something critical like 'I hate maths' or 'He's looking at you again 😳.' If a teacher caught you, you acted like it was a national secret. 7. Carrying around a USB drive like it was a crown jewel Everything lived in that one pen drive—school projects, pirated movies, a folder suspiciously called 'New Folder (2)', and at least one PowerPoint with 15 transitions. Losing it was like losing your identity. 8. The iPod click wheel sound living rent-free in your brain Just the tik-tik-tik of scrolling through 173 songs you downloaded from questionable sources. That wheel had no business being that satisfying. You'd scroll for 10 minutes just to play the same Linkin Park song again. 9. Recording your favourite song from the radio and praying the RJ wouldn't speak over it You had your finger on the record button, heart racing, praying they wouldn't yell '93.5 REDDDD FM!' right as the chorus hit. They always did. And yet, you never gave up. That's called grit. 10. Bluetooth file transfers taking longer than most modern relationships Sending one 3MB song via Bluetooth meant you were now bound to that person for the next 17 minutes. If they walked away mid-transfer? That was betrayal. You never spoke again. 11. Changing your Facebook status every 4 minutes to something emotional 'Feeling lost.' 'Trust no one.' 'You'll miss me when I'm gone.' If heartbreak had a currency, we were billionaires. And don't forget the cryptic updates like 'You know what you did.' No context. Just vibes. 12. When your phone had a torch and that made you the MVP of every power cut No inverter? No problem. You pulled out your Nokia with that single, blinding LED light and instantly became the hero your family didn't deserve. Bonus points if you used it to look for the remote. 13. Saving your crush's number as something completely unrelated Because if someone saw your phone and noticed 'Airtel Recharge Bhaiya' had 87 would be asked. And you weren't ready. 14. Using MS Paint like it was Photoshop Making masterpieces out of the spray paint tool, the curved line, and that one colour gradient. You'd spend hours drawing stick figures fighting dragons, only to accidentally close the file without saving. Tragedy. 15. The original YouTube buffering wheel becoming your nemesis You waited 12 minutes for a 3-minute video of Charlie bit my finger to load, and still felt fulfilled. Today, if Netflix buffers for 5 seconds, you threaten to cancel your subscription. 16. When you had to delete songs from your phone to take a new picture 'Phone storage full' meant tough decisions. Are you willing to delete or will this blurry photo of your best friend be sacrificed instead? Priorities. 17. Getting excited about Caller Tunes You paid actual money so that people calling you could hear Hips Don't Lie instead of a regular ring. And you judged your friends based on theirs. 'He still has Dard-e-Disco? Red flag.' 18. Playing Roadrash and Midtown Madness like your life depended on it Who needed a driver's license when you were already crashing into virtual trees and pedestrians with zero consequences? These games raised a generation of chaotic drivers. 19. Waiting all week for Sunday morning cartoons No OTT, no binge. Just Popeye, Dexter's Lab, and the cruel fate of missing an episode because your mom made you go for tuition. Made it to the end? Thought so. There's something about being 25+, you've lived through tech that didn't always work, feelings that spilled into Facebook statuses, and romances powered by Bluetooth transfers. Quietly weird, oddly formative, and now, strangely comforting.

What's the best car to replace two elderly hatchbacks?
Dear Alex, My 14-year-old Mazda 3 and my wife's 22-year-old Toyota Corolla are both approaching 140,000 miles and we will soon need to replace them. Learning to operate modern touchscreen controls seems like unnecessary stress – likewise having to switch off a load of driver aids before setting off. We don't want an EV, nor a hybrid, while I've had bad experiences with diesels. Which more recent cars without too much complexity should we consider? – RJ Dear RJ, Unfortunately, I think you're going to have to put up with a certain amount of learning if you want to update to something more recent. Most modern cars – even those a few years old – have a touchscreen of some sort through which at least some of the functions, usually the satellite navigation and radio, are controlled. The same goes for advanced driver assistance systems, abbreviated to ADAS; by July 2022, lane keeping assist was mandatory and in preparation for this most manufacturers were installing it on their latest models by 2020. You'll want to avoid anything built after 2024, when speed limit warnings also became mandatory. I propose aiming for a car in which deactivation of these systems is simple and which relies less on a touchscreen. As it happens, the current Mazda 3 fits the bill. While an early example of the latest model will have lane departure warnings, you can easily turn them by pressing and holding one button for a few seconds each time you start the car. Simple climate controls make the interior easy to understand, while the screen is controlled by a rotary dial rather than being touch-sensitive, which makes it easier to scroll through the menus. Most 3s are mild hybrids – yes, sorry, the H word, but mild hybrids are barely any more complex than pure petrol cars, so still worth considering. £15,000 is more than enough to get you into a low-mileage, service-historied Sport Lux from 2020 or so. If that's a little too steep, how about a Kia Ceed? The latest Ceed may be a little dull but it's also comfortable, competent and very reasonably priced. The 1.0-litre T-GDI 3 I found, from 2019 and with 44,000 miles and a full history, is yours for just shy of £12,000 – and it should still have a year's worth of the original warranty left. This Ceed has a touchscreen, but it's fairly easy to use thanks to physical shortcut keys and a proper climate control panel – and the lane keeping assist can also be turned off with one long button press. But if neither of these is quite simple enough, how about a Dacia? A Sandero is about as simple as it gets if you want a car that's only a few years old, although I suspect it might be too small for your needs. I also found a 2020 Duster 1.0 TCe Comfort with 37,000 miles and a full history for £10,209. Dusters of this age famously lack most modern driver assistance functions. Granted, you will have to contend with a touchscreen – but it is a very basic system that's easy to get to grips with.

Royal Jordanian Airline signs $250mln syndicated loan agreement led by Arab Bank
AMMAN — Royal Jordanian Airline (RJ) announced on Wednesday the signing of a $ 250 million syndicated loan agreement, led by Arab Bank and several Jordanian and regional financial institutions. This step underscores the solid confidence the banking sector places in the airline, according to a statement by the Arab Bank. During the signing ceremony, RJ Chairman of the Board of Directors Said Darwazeh stressed the airline's deep roots. "Royal Jordanian has a long-standing legacy as the national carrier and has, since its establishment, served as a key pillar in connecting Jordan to the world and reinforcing its role as a regional hub," Darwazeh added. He noted that "despite various challenges globally and in the region, the airline continued its operations with resilience and determination, fulfilling its national mission and significantly contributing to Jordan's economy, especially in tourism and transport." Darwazeh highlighted the agreement as "a strategic milestone that underscores the strong relationship between Royal Jordanian and the banking sector," adding that it "reflects the confidence that local and regional financial institutions have in the company's long-term vision." Darwazeh said: "We greatly value the role played by Arab Bank and all participating banks in facilitating this banking arrangement. We look forward to continued constructive collaboration that supports the company's objectives and contributes positively to the national economy." RJ Vice Chairman and CEO Samer Majali said: "As part of our recently launched growth and expansion strategy, Royal Jordanian is focused on modernising its fleet, expanding its route network, investing in our growth ambitions especially in aviation support ventures, digital transformation and advanced technologies, in addition to settling the remaining balance of the existing loan". "Fleet modernisation is a cornerstone of our commitment to sustainability, as modern aircraft play a crucial role in reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions, aligning with our environmental responsibility and long-term aspirations,' he added. Majali also expressed pride in the financial sector's backing: "We take great pride in the trust shown by Jordanian and regional banks that chose to participate in this financing. Their confidence affirms the airline's strong credit profile and financial stability.' He voiced RJ's full commitment to repaying the previous syndicated loan on schedule, even under the most challenging conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic, played a key role in reinforcing this trust and encouraging broader participation from financial institutions. CEO of Arab Bank Randa Sadik said that this $ 250 million financing agreement demonstrates Arab Bank's and the participating banks' belief in Jordan's national carrier's capacity to execute ambitious future expansion and development plans, reinforcing its position within the aviation sector. "The agreement also underscores the strong confidence Royal Jordanian enjoys among local and regional financial institutions." She added that this financing contributes to supporting the national economy and reinforcing Jordan's standing regionally and internationally. © Copyright The Jordan Times. All rights reserved.
