Fun stuff
Child of the 80's
Yeah - those were the days.....
Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.
You really, really wanted to be on "Jim'll Fix It".
You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living in space.
You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before he had plastic surgery.
You could break dance (ok, you wished you could)
You remember when Amiga was a state of the art video game system.
You have ever pondered on why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf.
You believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!"
Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away.
You recorded songs off the radio with your boom box.
You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair.
You never questioned why the A-Team were always imprisoned in places that had sufficient tools to build an armoured tank.
Cerise pink, electric blue and banana yellow have ever featured in your wardrobe or make-up collection.
Your new winter coat was best used to demonstrate that your wings were like a shield of steel.
Your best party dress was either a ra-ra or puff-ball skirt.
You hid behind the sofa whenever you heard the word "Exterminate!".
Big wheels and BMX's were the way to go.
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.
You held a chicken in the air or stuck a deckchair up your nose.
You wore legwarmers and tried to do the splits while jumping in the air while singing you were going to live forever.
Your best mate had a Soda Stream at home and you were jealous.
When 'Computer' Tennis, Pac-Man and Donkey-Kong ruled.
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.
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.
You tried to convince your Dad to fit a strip of red lights on the front of the Capri so it looked like KITT.
Important decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
