Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl," playing hide and seek on my cousin's Atari, toploading Panasonic VCRs where you can see the magnetic tumblers. Oh, and Commodore computers that you attach to TVs via coax. Love that thing...

my plushies and some rubbish (for example a tickect from my first amusement park trip)

I was born in 1988 and grew up in the 90's which was the best decade ever despite being bullied throughout most of it.

Spice Girls - days of dancing in the playground to their songs and they were the first band I ever saw live. The lyrics disturb me now though, not something a 7 year old should be singing, lol.

Pokemon - of course reciting all 150 in order, trading on the gameboy, getting up early to watch the episodes on tv (the only show I have ever gotten out of bed for) and collecting stickers and cards. It was the cause of some serious animosity.

Skipping rope - I am proud to say I was the best skipper in my class though 10 years has robbed me of my skill, lol.

Hand clapping - Chinese men, I went to a chinese chip shop, See-see my playmate etc

90's pop - Gotta love all those cheesy boybands we had and knowing all the dance steps to macarena and saturday night was a must.

Barbies - I stole my brother's action men so I could pair everyone up when I didn't have enough kens. Also it requred more imagination, all I ever got was a doll and clothes. Now they have castles, horses. Everything.

Crazes - Well I personally saw yo-yo's, pokemon, Alien pods, Warhammer, football stickers, tamogotchi, furby, pogs

Playing outside - I used to spend all weekend outside either on the streets, going around on my bike/rollar skates or walking the dogs down the brook. In summer the school would erupt into all out grass wars on the field. 1,2,3 and hide and seek were also played every day on the streets and in summer we had neighbourhood wide water fights (nowadays it rains all summer instead)

Sweets - Penny sweets like fruit salads, gobstobbers, 1/4 pound of millions or choc nibbs, push pops, fizz whizz, Hubble bubble. Seeing opal frutis become star bursts and choclate bars were 30p not 50p!

TV shows - Top of the Pops, Live and Kicking, Noel Edmond's House Party, Crystal Maze, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Clarissa, Round the Twist, Mr Blobby (how did he ever get to No 1?), El Nombre, Magic Pencil, Spot the dog, Fly Away, Fun house, Boy meets world, Sabrina the teenage witch, Grange Hill, Byker Grove, Blind Date, Shooting Stars.

Princess Diana dying - can't say I understood (I was only 7 at the time) but everyone was so upset. I guess I get it all now.

Terrible fashion - Boys had their hair in curtains (which I still kinda like actually, lol) and we wore leggings. I was about 12 before I first wore jeans, lol. Baggy t-shirts were the thing as well. Trackies were the thing to have as well. I spent my childhood in legging or trackies. Oh and your trainers lit up when you walked and in summer you wore jelly sandals.

Videos rather than DVDs and no one had a mobile. I was 11 until I got my first phone (Nokia 3210) and it was the best thing ever. I played snake all the time. I alo had a walkman for cassettes, not a mp3 player.

Stupid playground sayings - 'Talk to the hand cos the face ain't listenin', 'Whatever', all decisions were based on eeny-meeny-miny-mo, all arguments were ended by saying make-up make-up, never ever break up, all insults were responded with 'sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me',

Goosebumps books were the scariest thing ever and Are you afraid of the dark required at least 2 other people to watch it with.

Seeing exorcist for the first time (I was 12 I think) and we all got ourselves so freaked out.

Camping out in the Wendy house at the bottom of my garden.

I could actually go on all day but I'll stop here.

The pen is mightier than the sword...and considerably easier to write with.

My Beast Wars figures. A Zoid model that I never got around to assembling. A bunch of fads among kids like yo-yos, tomagatchi (those keychain pets), pokemon, LA gear with their light up shoes, etc. TV shows on the weekends I got up early to watch as well as those afternoon shows targeted specifically at kids (like Power Rangers, Spider Man, Batman, and Pokemon). Animated Musicals like Mulan, Lion King, Anatastasia. Soap operas my grandma used to watch in the afternoon when me and my brother would eat lunch (before kindergarten and elementary school). A bunch of random pop songs like "All Star" by Smash Mouth.

I love that song! 🤣

Anyways... Atari... everytime I play that sucker... reminds me of a kid playing Q-bert and Frogger... My baby blanket... yes, I still have my baby blanket. It's one of the few things I have left from my parents as a child... Got it framed and hanging on my wall. So everytime I look at it I remember my parents and my childhood... and the times I would be over somewhere and call my parents up in the middle of the night to bring it to me. 🤣 Lincoln Logs. Every time someone mentions them or see them I think of the time when I was a kid and got nailed in the forehead with one (had to get stitches 🤢 )....

If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.

I don't.
It won't leave my head!
Hasn't left for 6 years. >:-(
Okay, that woo-oo part sounds good...

Oh yea, the Spice Girls! Used to sing and dance to it all the time with my girl friends. I was Posh, everyone wanted to be Baby~ 🤣

Hm, I had a relatively weird childhood... trucks, the prison, rice fields, and rum cakes remind me of my childhood the most, I guess.

The Ice cream truck! with that little annoying catchy tune! and weirdly lemonade stands? maybe cause i tried that once and noone bought my lemonade 🙁 well my parents but they dont count 😛 anddd lets see, my 12yr old teddy bear. Rollerblades too >.< ahh i haven't roller bladed in forever.

"Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived."- Dalai lama

Let's see....

Anything to do with directing a flow of water, for example a few days ago I dug through a snowbank to get to the storm drain so the rain & melting snow could drain instead of turning the street into a lake, chipped channels through the packed/frozen snow to make sure the water was flowing well, etc. Takes me back to my childhood, playing with rocks, sticks, & dirt in the creek....those were the days.... 😀

The song "Nothing Compares to You" by Sinead O'Connor always reminds me of my first semester of college, living in the dorms - my roommate loved that song. 😃 (Also "Ice Ice Baby" but I hate that one, and thankfully it's been years since I've heard it.)

Hearing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" playing during a romantic scene in a Korean drama tonight just about fried my poor brain, though. The original scene with the song (yes, it really was the song from Monty Python's "Life of Brian", redone of course) and the scene it was playing in during the drama were so totally different, I had to wonder if they had any clue what the song was from or what the full lyrics were. 🤣
