    Any tv series/movie made in the 80's

    Minder/The Sweeney/The Great Bookie Robbery

    It's their eightiesness (yes it's a word) that makes them classics.

    Say what you like about Denis Waterman's later stuff, but don't be dissin' the eighties.

    " 'ere guv, we've got a joker over here who doesn't like the eighties."

    " What slaag said that ?"

    Classic. Shame on you sir.

    I love the eighties but I was just watching MacGyver recently and I can't believe how I used to swallow that stuff :D

    Was a singer in the 80s called Owen Paul who I used to drool over, sang "My Favourite Waste of Time". Actually it could have been his only song. In the video he was all long hair and walking down a beach, strumming his guitar. Googled the video in recent years, and OMG, dunno what I ever saw in him:eek:His jeans are nearly up under his armpits, (think Simon Cowell but a million times worse), he's a scrawny little retard! Still love that song though:D

    Nu-Metal. Went on a blast to the past one night looking up late 90s / early 00s "metal" music. Good grief there was so much shìte I listened to I cringe thinking about it.

    I think I got to about KoRn's 4th album when they released it and just thought "Fùck this whiny, moany shìte!".

    So many of my childhood cartoons definitely weren't how I remembered them. Dreadful animation, crap jokes and non-sensical plots seemed to have just flown over my head in those days..............simplier times :(

    I used to think wrestlers were cool.

    Then I came to my senses, and see them for what they are. A bunch of grown men who shave their bodies, cover themselves in baby oil and constantly refer to themselves as the third person.

    Sounds like Pighead

    I'd say you had a thing for the lead singer in Showaddywaddy too.:p

    I don't know which one was Peters or Lee, and looking back now, I'm not sure which is more embarrassing to admit to fancying.:(

    I also had a thing for one of The Nolan Sisters.:o

    Ha, ya know what, I actually did:D. " Lets go for a little walk, under the moon of love...." God how retarded now!
    My surname is Nolan, and I had all my friends convinced I was related to the Nolan Sisters! Now THAT was retarded:p

    Football / soccer. Well retarded is possibly too strong, but I used to be infatuated with the game, watched every match, read every article, talked all the shíte, etc. Now in the last few years, I just cant be bothered anymore. My boyhood heroes have all retired to be replaced with preening, diving, cheating ladyboy mercenaries, who earn more in a week than I do in years. I realize there's a bit of the rose-tinted specs about this too. Isnt everything great when you're young and carefree?

    Its really only the exploits of Trap and the boys that keeps me interested now.

    I had a lemon leather pin-striped tie. It looked particularly well, with my Bowie box-jacket, and my flecked trousers. Although, an "ensemble" like that would never be complete without a pair of snazzy grey leather shoes that laced up at the side.

    Heres a few of mine: Adam sandler movies, skateboading, Bo selecta, The Fratellis, Nu-metal,

    I always thought Bo selecta was retarded. I remember once back in 2003 or so being stuck in a room of people watching it. Torture.
