Childhood

Ok, the music thread got me remembering a few things about the old days.

So your mission is to make a 5 picture summary of things you loved as a kid. Like things you ate, listened to, watched, played etc.

Quite interesting to see as there are alot of different ages on here. Plus nostalgia is fun.

Maybe a little discription too

I'll start off

Im 22, born in 1984

First off, these guys. They were the biz, I had to have anything to do with them.

I collected all 100 issues of this magazine

Never got one of these, so I stole a friends and threw it down a drain in guilt of been caught.

I had my Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles bed sheet till I was about 17, then I got a bigger bed and couldn't use it no more :(

I think it might be knocking about unless my mum chucked it. Which I bloody hope she didn't!!

My Mum ran over it with our Range Rover one day. I'd left it on the drive one night right in front of it, the following morning, "crunch".

Born: 1985

Age: 22

MyLittlePony.jpg

Favourite TV programme when I was younger was My Little Pony. I had al the toys, videos, school bag, lunch box/flask etc.

PollyPocket.jpg

I loved my Polly Pockets. I saw a 'modern' Polly Pocket set a few weeks ago - it was huge! No way it was fitting in anyones pocket!

CabbagePatchKids.jpg

My next door neighbout had a talking Cabbage Patch Kid doll. If you got two of them together they could have conversations with each other and sing together and stuff. I was desperate to get this for Christmas one year, buit got a non-talking one instead - I was devastated! (Sound like a spoilt brat - I wasn't!!! Honest!)

Boyzone.jpg

My earliest music memory was listening to my brothers New Kids on the Block tape, I was really young. But one of the first tapes I remember buying myself was Boyzone. I saw them in concert twice (still have my glow sticks!!!)

PeterAndre.jpg

One of my first loves was Peter Andre :blush: I had posters all over my walls.

Ok, I know it was meant to be 5, but I'm going to cheat ...

Grifters were so heavy. The Sturmey Archers were mint though.

never went low enough to power you up hills on somethign that weighed more than you did but the top gear was so huge you could peddle down the steepest hills, brakes weren't much use slowing you down though lol.
