Calling all 1980s kids

Me too, and also except those where much money is involved: having whole lego cities (well, I would rather have made a castle from it), a casette player, a BMX and pocket money.

You never had Lego or a BMX Speel? Those where my most cherished possesions during my childhood.

Well, I had Lego, but just enough to make a small toy house.
And no, I didn't have a BMX, just a rusty 2nd hand bike (all those sweet memories about it, all those wounds and scratches, a lost tooth and a broken arm :lol:)

Reminds me of the time I nearly decapitated myself on a rusty boot-scraper.

I can remember most of that stuff. I remember the A-ha video from 1985 and thinking how cool it was. A Dog didnt run into our School - but a Ferrit did.

But being 24 I guess I must be more of the 90's..

Still - I see kids today, and their early childhoods dont seem to ba as much fun. I dont think mine was as much as my mums, she grew up on a huge farm. My Dad had a harsh child hood though.

Still too many cities - parents with no time. Too much TV.

Now I do feel old.

I was born in 1978.

I still dunno what "Psyche!" means. Seen it used on TV in various yank shows and it's used in the same context as "Not!" from Bill and Ted.

Example: "You look really cool today... Not!"

I have never, and will never wear florescent clothing, athough I know a good few classmates who did especially non-matching socks.

Dude, it's like... "Watch us wreck the mic, watch us wreck the mic, watch us wreck the mic... Psyche! Let's get ready to rumble, let's get ready to rumb-aaaaah-l, get ready, get steady, and rumble. Everybody rumble!!"

:-D

Ahhh...the good old days, I still have a huge scar on my hand where I tore a chunk'o'flesh off in a bike "accident".

[Ilwrath]

Heh...  Yep...  Great stuff...  I was born in '74, so I sure took part in a lot of the 80's mayhem.  BMX, Legos, and then, in 85 or so...  My Commodore 64!  Woohoo!

For sure, wrecked the BMX a few times.  Got a scar on my chin from a maneuver that went horribly wrong.  (Actually, it was better than the alternative!  I managed to not get run over by the car that was heading at me!)  Double-flipped the BMX end-over-end once out of my own stupidity, too, and managed to escape that one with only a scratch on my leg and a torn shirt.  And people say we should wear helmets while riding bikes, now.  :-P

And, redrumloa...  From 80's movies.... I sure remember "REDRUM REDRUM!"  Yikes!  That's the kind of stuff that belongs on spookychick.  ;-)

Ahhhh! The 80`s, the happiest time of my life!  :-D I was born in 77, so i remember most of the 80`s

Now i can see the 80`s coming back in full effect!  :-o Here in norway its suddenly cool with the infamous "Hockey haircut" or the "MacGyver haircut", the new clothes now you can find in shops looks like something you had in your closet for 15 years  :-D And the radio has stopped playing r&b/rap and switched to 80`s hit singles.

It`s weird, it`s like going back to 1986 when me and my gf go out and see all these teenagers dressed like i did when i was a kid  :lol:

[TjLaZer]

Ah the 1980's...  Playing games on Commodore and Atari computers and BMXing.  Thats what I did and loved it!  Those were the days...

Noticed that too.
I can't help myself humming "Ta-ta ta-ta ta-ta taaaaaa, ta-ta-taaaaaa" every time I see one of them. :-)

Here's Johnny :nervous:

Great stuff. I'm glad we are remembering the good stuff about the 80's in this thread and not the bad. No mention of Milli Vanilli, Poison, the Snorks or Care Bears etc :lol:

[odin]

Oi!

Don't diss the Snorkels and Carebears! You barbarian!  :-P

-edit-
That was weird....I wrote Scarebears at first %).
