One of the reasons being that such ridiculously hilarious films such as were around. For someone who was around my age or a little yonger (15-20), was it ace living in the 80s? It seems like a cool time, when things were changing and consumerism made stuff more and more readily available. So, what was it like? Awesome? |

The 80s for me were a time of toys and cartoons and kindergarden. The world had a different color palate back then. I miss it. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yeah, but that's just cos you were young. What was it about the fact that you were growing up at that time which made the experience unique? Darnit, I didn't mean for that to sound like an interview question... :/ |

86 and 88, respectively. no, not really new. but i felt lucky to have found some intelligent pop music albums in a small music shop in the small shit town i lived then. |

:O Did you survive? Or are you now another Freqy, who just happened to be reborn in the same place and of the same age as before? Hey, also, have you seen the bit in Mall Rats about kids' laces getting caught in escalators? |

Woahwah, nice list! K, what's; TR7 espadrilles triangle And is zx 81 a dangerous food colouring? Lol, yeah, the roads were clear cos instead of Major giving insider status to an enironmentalist pressure group, such as Friends Of The Earth, he gave it to the Road Side Alliance or something, to give him help on how to build shit loads of roads. I always took that as a hilarious metaphor for how straight, pracatical and boring Major was. Then again, he was perfect for the time, after Thatcher's trying to do everything and not helping anyone, but the rich to get richer. If any of this is wrong, correct me. I only did Politics for one year at college... :) |

I turned seven the sixth of January 1980 Here's my list: Reverb E fucking T Commodore 64 Music Videos Super Channel Sky Channel MTV Kalkitos Vinyl Introduction of the Compact Disc Stock Aitken Waterman Synth Pop Nintendo Game & Watch No cellphones nor www Home taping was killing music Cold War Karate Kid Back to the Future VHS & Beta Ronnie, Maggie and Gorby Smoking anywhere (and I mean ANYWHERE) Wrestling Olympics Everybody Wants To Rule The World Live Aid Do They Know It's Christmass Smith and Jones The Young Ones Derrick Miami Vice Punky friggin Brewster Police Academy movies Ghostbusters ...and of course... So it was mostly crap...but still I'm kind of glad I didn't miss out.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I bought Pet Shop Boys' "Please" on vinyl when it was first released. I remember wishing I had a cd-player, but it was way too expensive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha ha, Derrick! No one's mentioned the Walkman yet, oddly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have the same memories apart from the commodore 64, i had an Amstrad CPC 464 yeaaaaaa |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh and Snickers was Marathon! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i had a walkman and i liked NWA and public enemy cus i got the tapes of my bro... a black kid at my school stole the walkman off me and when i eventually got it back it had crumbs inside the mechanisms |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, forgott about the Walkman, another source of envy since I never got one. Sony was the big thing of the eighties, in every way really. And then there was Casio. Japanese electronics in general. Japanese Electronics and American Consumerism, that pretty much sums it all up. And Bergerac on the telly... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah hahaha you couldn't even afford a walkman? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not with my allowance and the cheap parents I had... |

I had a dream, I dreamt about this thread. I dreamt I was with 7pd in some shopping mall in the 80s in Calais, and he was deliberatly buying naff products. There was a range of talc called "Incest" and these bottles labeled "Wine Flavour Drink". 7pd was taller than I was and the shop was run by a Morrocan. There were people outside the shop wearing ghastly nylon flares. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I had exactly the same dream. When i woke up my pillow was gone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want some incest talc |
||||||||

I think I was profoundly shaken by your "twix were only ever called raider in 3rd world europe and on a ferry that goes there when you are on a day trip to calais in 1983 " post. It awoke previously well buried memories of going to France on a school trip, pointlessly to some vast dark spooky shopping centre, and then coming back again. Every time I've been to France it's been horrible. NEVER AGAIN. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I can remember recoiling in horror at what appeared to be a twix but had the word "raider" emblazoned on it's gold jacket. i think this is where the seeds of Euroscepticism were planted in my mind. Everybody bought french bangers, hardcore porno pens and flick combs. My friend brought back a loaf of bread for his mum and a copy of Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast LP on vinyl. I heard Radio Gaga for the first time on the coach home. Looking back, the whole trip must surely have been just an elaborate excuse for some teachers to go on cheap booze run. |

espadrilles lol |

I bought my porno pen in Weston-super-Mare on a school trip. I remember the quim was really shiney, how to put it, as if it had been blow dried and styled. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm bringing them back |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you mean the classic turn upside down to reveal nudity pen ? cause the type we got in Calais, you looked down them through a magifying glass, and twisted them to reveal a series of indecent sex acts more suited to the pages of Rodox or Color Climax magazine |
