I miss the 80's

Of course, I was only wee back then; but after singing along loudly and nakedly to 'Something's gotten hold of my heart', by Mark Almond and Gene Pitney, I feel it was the best decade so far!

Bring back Black, Toto, The Cure, cheesy pop and Stardust Casino (for those who don't know, it was torn down last year)!
Hooray!

Tomorrow I'm getting myself a giant perm and a padded jacket :D

Re: I miss the 80's

if it is any consolation, it seems the eurovision song festival is eternally stuck in the 80's.

I didn't miss all the 80s :snooty:

There were good bits in the 60s and 70s too but I would agree with JP, now is OK. I am rather hoping to enjoy the 2040s too :shifty:

Unbelievable.

Mine still haven't sorted my pay out, so I've sent a wee gently reminder via the gift of email.

Everything else is sorted out on the HR systems with staff and so forth, so they definitely recognise that I'm in post. Pay is the only outstanding issue. Not a problem so far with the TP covering the difference but that's just finished so hopefully this month.

What's the chances.

I wouldn't hold my breath :ermm:

I recall an ubber harsh lass at our place had her pay mucked up for months. She went to our Personnel people to complain and she was told that the pay clerk in HO had been run over and was dead and they were too upset to speak to her right now. She replied "but that does mean I might get someone competent doing my pay now, right"? The Personnel Dept. put in a complaint about her but she told them to spin on it. I quite liked her but she was harsh to the max.

I'm not a lesbian, but sometimes, just sometimes you can be attracted to someone despite your orientation :yup:.

I don't remember the 50s but I'd like to have been born then so I could say it was my favourite decade. 80s were too Thatchery, my dad seemed to always be on one strike or another, and I was always being told I was too little to do anything interesting :angry:.
