More for my 80s post....
I was browsing online and found this at an 80s website.This chick has the same wish I do, that she could have been born a little before the 80s so that she could have truly experienced the culture. Right on!
"Why I Like the 80s
I was born in 1990, but I know a lot about the 80s because of my older brothers. I'm in love with the 80s.. that's all I think about! I don't care wut ppl think about me... Nobody can hate the 80s anyway.. I've always wished that I was born a bit before the 80s so that I could have lived through the 80s... I luv the movies..I luv the music...I luv the TV shows...I luv the fashion...I can't wait to be an 80s chick for Halloween this year...!!!!"

You know you are a true child of the 80s when...
· You never questioned why the A-Team were always imprisoned in places that had sufficient tools to build an armoured tank.
· Dungeons & Dragons was your favourite cartoon.
· Your lunch times were spent perfecting swan dives and backspins.
· You fell out with friends during heated arguments about the relative merits of Matt & Luke.
· You owned, or wanted a "Frankie says..." T-shirt.
· You have ever danced (or even worse cried) to Kylie & Jason.
· Cerise pink, electric blue and banana yellow have ever featured in your wardrobe or make-up collection.
· You ever did the top toggle of your coat up around your neck without having your arms in the sleeves, and knew you looked like a super-hero.
· You remember when the A-Ha video was the pinnacle of modern technology, and you can still sing all the words.
· Parachuting Action man was your favourite toy.
· Your best party dress was either a ra-ra or puff-ball skirt.
· You ever owned a thin, black leather tie (and were proud of it), or worse it was patterned like a piano.
· You wondered why a popular kids TV programme told you to "Turn off your TV set and go and do some less boring instead".
· You cried at Zammo's funeral.
· You wanted to be either Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys.
· You ever said "It's my ball, and if I can't be Kevin Keegan I'm going home!"
· You remember the aerobie scare.
· You have ever po-goed or space-hopped.
· You remember when Keith Chegwin & Maggie Philbin were the hottest romantic couple.
· You wondered why your walkie-talkie didn't have the same range as those in the Red Hand Gang.
· You were shocked by the controversial plot lines in Degrassi Junior High.
· You tried to set up a "Famous Five" or "Secret Seven" gang with your school friends.
· You tried to convince your Dad to fit a strip of red lights on the front of his Capri so it looked like KITT.
· "Ca-vey Wa-vey!" means anything to you.
· You ever had more than 10 sweets in a 10p mix-up.
· Not only did you wear luminous clothing, but they were mismatched fingerless gloves and towelling socks.
· You remember when Betamax was at the cutting edge of technology.
· Conveyor belts regularly carried washing machines, deep-fat fryers and a cuddly toy.
· You could have got away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids.
· (Girls) You owned a pair of Pixie Boots, generally worn with leg warmers.
· (Boys) You owned a pair of pale grey slip-ons, generally worn with white towelling socks.
· Shiny grey flecked suits.
· You rolled the sleeves of your suit jacket up
· Ooh, you could crush a Grape!
· You went to school with Pogo Patterson, Gripper Stebson, and Ro-land.
· Fingermouse.
· You were proud of your picture appearing in the Gallery.
· You remember Look In magazine, and when it was only 20p
· You wondered why you and your mates never encountered diamond thieves whilst out on your BMXs.
· No 73?
· You can remember what Quatro tasted like.
· Your best mate had a soda stream at home and you were jealous
