This may have been posted before but a mate sent me it in an email this morning.
You know you were a child of the 80s when.....
# You never questioned why the A-Team were always imprisoned in places that had sufficient tools to build an armoured tank. <- you know, I never thought of that :lol:
# 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 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 <- lmfao :lol: I like that one
Jonno :cool:
