Hello children of the 80's. Read this, it will take
you back...
Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo
Friendship bracelets were ties that couldn't be
broken.
You know all the words to "Ice Ice Baby".
You wanted to be on "Jim'll Fix It".
You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like
before he had
plastic
surgery.
You had one of those T-shirts that changed colour
with
heat(Global Hypercolour).
You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off".
You were upset when She-ra, Princess of Power and
He-Man got cancelled.
You remember Madonna in her cone stage outfit.
You knew "The Artist" when he was humbly called
"Prince."
You wore fluorescent-neon clothing... (if you can
call it clothing!)
You could break dance (ok, you wished you could)
You remember when Amiga was a state of the art
video game system.
You remember M.C. Hammer.
You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bel

You still remember when the A-ha video was the
pinnacle of
modern technology and you can still sing all the
words.
Your best party dress was either a ra-ra or
puff-ball skirt.
You tried to convince your Dad to fit a strip of
red lights on the front of a Capri so it looked like KITT.
You had more than 10 sweets in a 10p mix-up.
You hid behind the sofa whenever you heard the word
Exterminate!".
Girls - You owned a pair of Pixie boots, generally
worn with leg warmers.
Ooh, you could crush a grape!
You held a chicken in the air or stuck a deckchair
up your nose.
Your best mate had a Soda Stream at home and you
were jealous.
Any elderly Scottish lady sounds like Supergran
You remember playing British Bulldog,
When 'Computer' Tennis, Pac-Man and Donkey-Kong
ruled
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.
Important decisions were made by going
"eeny-meeny-miney-mo."

You never questioned why the A-Team were always imprisoned in places that had sufficient tools to build an armoured tank.
Dungeons & Dragons was your favourite cartoon.
Your lunch times were spent perfecting swan dives and backspins.
You fell out with friends during heated arguments about the relative merits of Matt & Luke.
You owned, or wanted a "Frankie says..." T-shirt.
You have ever danced (or even worse cried) to Kylie & Jason.
Cerise pink, electric blue and banana yellow have ever featured in your wardrobe or make-up collection.
You ever did the top toggle of your coat up around your neck without having your arms in the sleeves, and knew you looked like a super-hero.
You remember when the A-Ha video was the pinnacle of modern technology, and you can still sing all the words.
Parachuting Action man was your favourite toy.
Your best party dress was either a ra-ra or puff-ball skirt.
You ever owned a thin, black leather tie (and were proud of it), or worse it was patterned like a piano.
You wondered why a popular kids TV programme told you to "Turn off your TV set and go and do some less boring instead".
You cried at Zammo's funeral.
You wanted to be either Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys.
You ever said "It's my ball, and if I can't be Kevin Keegan I'm going home!"
You remember the aerobie scare.
You have ever po-goed or space-hopped.
You remember when Keith Chegwin & Maggie Philbin were the hottest romantic couple.
You wondered why your walkie-talkie didn't have the same range as those in the Red Hand Gang.
You were shocked by the controversial plot lines in Degrassi Junior High.
You tried to set up a "Famous Five" or "Secret Seven" gang with your school friends.
You tried to convince your Dad to fit a strip of red lights on the front of his Capri so it looked like KITT.
"Ca-vey Wa-vey!" means anything to you.
You ever had more than 10 sweets in a 10p mix-up.
Not only did you wear luminous clothing, but they were mismatched fingerless gloves and towelling socks.
You remember when Betamax was at the cutting edge of technology.
Conveyor belts regularly carried washing machines, deep-fat fryers and a cuddly toy.
You could have got away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids.
(Girls) You owned a pair of Pixie Boots, generally worn with leg warmers.
(Boys) You owned a pair of pale grey slip-ons, generally worn with white towelling socks.
Shiny grey flecked suits.
You rolled the sleeves of your suit jacket up
Ooh, you could crush a Grape!
You went to school with Pogo Patterson, Gripper Stebson, and Ro-land.
Fingermouse.
You were proud of your picture appearing in the Gallery.
You remember Look In magazine, and when it was only 20p
You wondered why you and your mates never encountered diamond thieves whilst out on your BMXs.
No 73?
You can remember what Quatro tasted like.
Your best mate had a soda stream at home and you were jealous
