80’s were better……..

50's were better.
I wasn't there. but then, neither was the chap who live's in his imagined utopia of what the 90's were.

I was a teenager in the 90's. all I remember is hooch and pinching girls bums in night clubs.

All I remember is pinching girls bums in night clubs.

Where did you put them? I kept mine in a basket under the bed.

Now, IF I were fernickerty, I'd be asking about the surround sound system, digital video cameras, MP3 player, DVD player and so-on, it was all about in various forms, Win98 PC, Sega, SNES, Playstation, widescreen TV etc etc etc blah de blah de blah

We were not stoneage in the 90's

(as for me, it was weed, alcohol, cycling, recreational pharmaceuticals, cycling, sunsheeeeeeine, cycling, Ozrics, Eat Static and, er cycling)

Oh, and cos I was super posh, I had a DAT Walkman, ner! (and a lot of AA batteries)

 

[novocaine]

97, passed driving test. car had a CD player in it.
ok, it was a portable CD player that plugged in to the cassette deck, but it had it.
everybody was getting aluminium frames, I was still riding a steel british eagle with garbage components and a rigid fork.
DAT walkman, pa, 98 I bought my first minidisc player. a sharp MD-MS702 (I had to go look it up).


perhaps the recreational phama is the reason I don't remember much of that time.
I met my wife then. it took another 15 years before we reached anywhere near that point though, and in the middle was a lot of erm, stuff.
I kept the bums in a cardboard box I got from Ikea.
