calling 80's kids
strapping young lad:
born in 73 so i remember the 80's fairly well
saturday afternoons
knight rider or airwolf or a team or street hawk
maguyver was on too i think (what a resourceful guy!)
look-in magazine
beezer/dandy/beano comics
everyone had a bmx trying to copy andy ruffell or eddy fiola
the snow of 81
bucks fizz (the band) and THAT dance move with the skirt... did things to kids back then!
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
A seriously bizarre decade!
My recollections of the 80's?
Hmm.
Bunking off from Sixth Form and getting ratted on cheap Fosters lager.
Having a shiny suit, with a red tie.
Going on a CND march to try and impress a lass I was trying to 'get to know'.
Having a ponytail.
A mates parents getting a new fangled CD player and a copy of Dire Staits 'Brothers in Arms' and trying to work out what the difference was in sound quality while ratted on cheap Fosters lager.
Seeing the Met's Special Patrol Group in action and thinking 'I could do that job'.
Seeing a 'swedish art movie'.
Sitting in a computer class and thinking 'What is the point of this? No one will ever have computers at home! Where is the cheap Fosters lager?"
Seeing Boy George on TOTP and thinking "What the hell is that?"
Watching Bucks Fizz on the Eurovision Song Contest, purely for the bit where the skirts get ripped off.
Having to leave school and get a job! The end of freedom!

strapping young lad:
fireworks seemed better back then, louder and you could stand feet away from the bonfire..
