Go to the chemist all excited to see the pics and find 12 have no heads on people, 4 are over exposed and the rest have red eyes people on them

You had to watch a tv program in real time so as to chat about it at school next day. e.g Monty python .

Respect, even if it is through clenched teeth, until they’re over 40.

I can remember playing a lot of Madonna and MJ.

I had a couple of their albums. Couldn't find them in my Dads collection - so don't know what's happened to them. He had a pretty good collection, himself.

Got a portable player last year, started collecting again.

Playing out with friends, away from home. Coming back when mum told you to be back, because there were no mobile phones.

"When you needed arms like Garth to carry your portable music player !"

Or you had to go around holding your discman bloody flat in your hand or else it wouldnt play. And carry your discs around also in a holder. The things we had to endure!
