Dee I was a child in the 40s and 50s so you are just a toddler!! films like The Robe amd musicals like South Pacific, Sound of Music, carousel etc. etc. were the thing to watch. And the songs from them were 'our' songs. No cult toys in the 40s/50s as far as I can remember (not many toys actually and pleased with anything). No top of the pops, but family favourites and housewives choice to listen to Frankie Lane, Johnny Ray, Frank Sinatra, and later Little Richard and all the 'new' rock and Roll stars. Jive ---- I couldn't!! but loved to watch it and hear the music. But I do remember the 60s, 70s and 80s when my children were young and wore all the gear and had all the records. (Donny Osmond etc. Grease!! OK I am Old but I don't feel it. ann glos

I keep trying to have a clear out Gwyneth, but somehow it all gets back in the loft!. (what are we like?).

I'm with Maggie and Christine, - why are WE storing all this? Can add a couple of Wuzzles to the list. Eleroo and Rhinokey!

Ultravox with 'Vienna' 1981 My all time favourite Kim

Having spent the day with a friend who I haven't seen since school .......... we had a laugh at the followng and I thought I'd share with you all........ Hello children of the 80's. Read this, it will take you back but be careful 'cause it will also make you realise that you are now actually quite old ........ Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo Friendship bracelets were ties that couldn't be broken. You know all the words to "Ice Ice Baby". You wanted to be on "Jim'll Fix It". You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before he had plastic surgery. You wore one of those slap-on wristbands at some point...or heaven forbid one of those T-shirts that changed colour with heat (Global Hypercolour). You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off". You remember Madonna in her cone stage. You knew "The Artist" when he was humbly called "Prince." You even wore fluorescent-neon clothing... (if you can call it clothing!) Not only did you wear fluorescent-neon clothing, but they were mismatched with fingerless gloves and toweling socks. You could break dance (ok, you wished you could) You remember when Amiga was a state of the art video game system. You remember M.C. Hammer. You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air".... You can remember when it was Jazzy Jeff and The fresh Prince and NOT just plain Will Smith! You own any cassettes. You have ever pondered on why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf. You ever had a Swatch Watch. You believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!" Big wheels and BMX's were the way to go. With your pink (or blue) portable tape player, you sang to Kylie and Jason. If you ever owned Polly Pocket or Micro Machines. If you ever made Ken fall in love with Barbie. You know what " Psyche" means. Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away. You wore a banana clip at some point during your youth. You actually thought "Dirty Dancing" was a REALLY good film. You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living in space. You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair. You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish. Somehow you still know all the words to songs played on VH1's "Big 80s" You still don't like going in the sea because of Jaws. You remember Now compilations that had the pig on the front cover. How old do you feel now ???? Esta :0
