I ended up giggling while at placement at an email I got. I know it's silly but it brought back so many memories. Just thought I'd share it with you.
Children of the 80's
How true is this, aah the good old days!
Hello children of the 80's. Read this, it
will take you back but be careful 'cause it will also
make you realise that you are now actually quite
old.......
1.. Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo
2.. You played with "My Little Ponies."
3.. Friendship bracelets were ties that couldn't be
broken.
4.. You ever read Nancy Drew,
5.. The Hardy Boys, The Babysitters Club, Forever or
Sweet Valley High.
6.. You wanted to be on "Jim'll Fix It".
7.. You wore one of those slap-on wristbands at some
point...or heaven forbid one of those T-shirts that
changed colour with heat (Global Hypercolour).
8.. You were upset when She-ra, Princess of Power and
He-Man got cancelled.
9.. You can remember watching Saved by the Bell 16..
You even wore fluorescent-neon clothing... (if you can
call it clothing!)
10. You could break dance (ok, you wished you could)
11.. You remember when Amiga was a state of the art
video game system.
12.. You remember M.C. Hammer.
13.. You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of
Bel Air"....
14.. You can remember when it was Jazzy Jeff and The
fresh Prince and NOT just plain Will Smith!
15.. You own ANY cassettes.
16.. You have ever pondered on why Smurfette was the
ONLY female smurf.
17.. My Little Pony, Gummy Bears and Transformers are
familiar to you.
18.. You ever had a Swatch Watch.
19.. You believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you
HAD the power!"
20.. With your pink (or blue) portable tape player,
you sang to Kylie and Jason!
21.. Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away.
22.. You were led to believe that in the year 2000
we'd all be living in space.
23.. You recorded songs off the radio with your boom
box.
24.. Your arm was full of rubber bracelets.
25.. You wore those wide, colourful shoelaces.
26.. You never questioned why the A-Team were always
imprisoned in places that had sufficient tools to
build an armoured tank.
27.. You ever did the top toggle of your coat up
around your neck without having your arms in the
sleeves, and you knew you looked like a superhero.
28.. You remember watching a house inhabited by a
jester, a pantomime horse and a woman who sneezed, and
thinking that this was perfectly normal.
29.. You've ever had more than 10 sweets in a 10p
mix-up.
30.. You could have got away with it if it wasn't for
those meddling kids.
31.. You remember Fingermouse and Dangermouse(not
forgetting his trusty sidekick Penfold!)
32.. You remembered Monster Munch when they were 10p.
33.. When 'Computer' Tennis, Pac-Man and Donkey-Kong
ruled
34.. You remember hearing the tune then running out to
buy an ice cream cone on a warm summer night - 99's,
screwballs or a cider lolly.
35.. You got up extra early, especially to watch
Saturday Morning cartoons
36.. You remember Ant and Dec as PJ and Duncan
37.. Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.
38.. It wasn't odd to have two or three "best"
friends.
39.. You remember when Snickers were Marathons and
Starburst were Opal Fruits.
40.. You remember when 25p was decent pocket money and
you'd reach into a muddy gutter for 10p.
41.. Important decisions were made by going
eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
42.. Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better
and taking drugs meant orange-flavoured chewable
aspirin.
43.. You called Going Live on 081 811 8181.
44.. .... And you had your own Gordon the Gopher.
I'd have to add being taught the two-step dance at discos where u just sidestep one way then the other.
Oh happy days when you could leave the house unlocked and it was all good.
