I don't usually post or forward this kind of c**p but for those it applies to (which perhaps won't be many :whistle: ) it's frighteningly accurate! I won't humiliate myself by confessing which ones apply to me, but shall we say I can count the one's that don't on one hand! :oops:

1. You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air".

2. You remember when it was actually worth getting up on a Saturday morning to watch Live&Kicking (you know the number - 0181 811 8181!) or SM:TV.

3. You had a huge fringe at some point in your childhood.

4. You remember reading and watching "Goosebumps".

5. You took plastic cartoon lunchboxes to school.

6. You remember the craze of YoYo's and Tamagotchis (and the subsequent banning of them in school).

Most of those apply to us from the 80's as well.

I would like to add one to number 45 tho. As well as NafNaf and Fruit Of The Loom, in summer everyone wore a Global hypercolour t-shirt but only once as it never quite when back to the right colours and always looked as tho you were a bit sweaty!
