I've been singing a mum-remixed version Calvin Harris 'born in the noughties, the noughties' to my kids all week too...<br /><br />I completely with you on Bros=love gods. My parents had a pub so I supplied many friends with Grolsch tops for our DMs for a small fee...I was a budding Junior Apprentice-esqe entrepreneur who also sold Flying Saucers, Hollywood Chewing Gum and Flumps at school in the 80s. <br /><br />Best thing about the 80s was having a cool older sister who could cut my hair. I had a daringly on-trend haircut that was actually a combination of 3 styles:<br /><br />1. Spiky and fluffy on top<br />2. Cut to sharp points around my ears<br />3. Nape of the neck length bob<br /><br />I have a photo that only extremely close friends have ever seen. 'That Haircut' plus MC Hammer pants and a rolled up sleeved white bomber jacket. So bad it's goooood!Michellehttp://www.aftertheparty.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-975937413222776555.post-67074579769306213102010-05-17T10:44:53.880+01:002010-05-17T10:44:53.880+01:00Ah the 80s...you've made me feel all reminisce...Ah the 80s...you've made me feel all reminiscent!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-975937413222776555.post-66249646740185586142010-05-16T10:27:51.876+01:002010-05-16T10:27:51.876+01:00@Belgravia Wife.........I agree with the cynicism!...@Belgravia Wife.........I agree with the cynicism!

I know the fashion was ghastly and the phones ginormous and this might be down to my rose coloured spectacles but I thought it was a far more optimistic time, more forward looking than now. I worry about the cynicism I see everywhere. I want my children to feel that anything is possible I did feel like that back then.

I loved the 80s, in fact I think I have reverted back there some of the time.I really do believe that I am 18, however the body tells me otherwise. As for Bros,please, Madonna was the girl for me, I can still see the posters.Thanks for the reminder of how old I actually am.<br /><br />The Organ Grinder.<br />xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-975937413222776555.post-59654518358982466722010-05-12T06:28:26.371+01:002010-05-12T06:28:26.371+01:00How funny is it that we both wrote 80's-themed...How funny is it that we both wrote 80's-themed posts? I love it!<br /><br />I loved my rubik's cube. No, I couldn't solve it the "correct" way. I did know how to take off all the pieces and put them back together and <em>voila!</em> It was solved! Somehow I never could quite figure out why the pieces got really loose after that though.
