Do you remember those white girls boots that were all wrinkly above the ankles. I told a friend I thought they were great, he said "that's cause they look like her knickers are round her ankles". True True.

The 80's yeah.
1.) Hip - Hop being real & not the bling bling rubbish it is today. Also being funny & political.
2.) Action Cartoons. He - Man, Transformers, Ulysses 31& the mighty Thundercats.
3.) Good Saturday Night Family Television.
4). Liverpool FC. Playing excellent Football & at the same time not being hated like Man Utd are today by the majority of rivial supporters.
I have to agree with the sarge.
Getting divorced.. Best thing that ever happened to me.
Then I met Mrs Fac a year later and had a brilliant life ever since.
Rich
(I have to admit to liking 70s music best as I was brought up on Led Zep and Deep Purple, especially Child In Time)
I've sat back and thought some more about the eighties...
Saw Adam and the Ants and was well amazed they were great back then...at least I thought!
Someone mentioned The Equalizer
Battle of the Planets.. was that the 80's?
The Live Aid Concert! and Freddie Mercury goading the crowds!!! Fantastic
In the Air Tonight- Phil Collins!
Indiana Jones! + the original Star Wars trilogy (yes I know "A New Hope" was late 70's!)
Jean Michel Jarre- Rendez-Vous and Docklands both superb
Baggies, jeans with more flies than I could actually piss out of!
The end of Jimmy Savilles Jim'll fix it!!
Charles and Di wedding (would have to jump forward to the 90's for the divorce!!)
When were "the Smurfs" a mass hit when everyone collected them??? That goes for Star Wars figures too!!!
Well I hope this jogged a few memories
Was a teenager during the eighties..... youthclub, butlins with school, loosing my virginity, discos, practically everything was excellent (fashion was a tad dodgy) collecting VW badges, pepe keyrings (off the jeans).
Wouldn't change too much really .......
Oh, the eighties.....being able to leave your front door open, sing songs around the piano, long hot summers,day trips to Margate.......... :grin: :grin: :grin:
Thundercats, he man and animorphs!
What the hell is "Animorphs"??? I can remember a program called "Manimal" which starred old matey the posh Dr in casualty where he could take on the form of most animals or some shit,, (actually he didn't ever turn into shit but you know what i mean) but not animorphs sorry???? could you shed some light?
I can also remember a tv series based on Tony Harts (actually not his but the Aardman studios') "Morph"
Just had another mind flash!! George the Hoffmeister Bear Ads...
V similar to manimal but there was more than one of them - I remember manimal as well, didn't he start as an eagle?
There were other american shite classics too....
CHIPS... The Fall Guy... Streethawk... Automan... The Master... Airwolf... Why did we change our ways to watch such crap??? heeheehee!!! Used to love the stuff..
LEAVING SCHOOL AND LOSING MY VIRGINITY ON MY LAST DAY AT SCHOOL WITH THE SEXY MARRIED STUDENT TEACHER WHO TAUGHT ME GEOGRAPHY!!!
