Let's relive the 1980's

Tainted Love.......people flocked to the dance floor whenever that song came on......great song @eth

When the Fine Young Cannibals album come out I think just about everyone had a copy......they were everywhere......

Oh dear Norman Gunston.........he was a different cat that is for sure.......but so many people thought he was a 'real' person......lol!!!!!! Kiss Army yep great way to start the day lol

How great are Hunters and Collectors @Bunniekins great track and they are still going strong

Mark Seymour brother of Nick from Crowded House.......

I watched that wedding in total awe @Bunniekins

She was so beautiful..........it was like a real life fairtytale........sad it never stayed that way...

I am a sort of royalist.....I do love British Royal History, especially the war of the roses and the tudor era.......

thanks so much for posting that pic.........

Hiya @Maggie

Glad you are enjoying the thread. It is fun looking back, remembering things that we have forgotten, and having a chuckle.

I am so glad I started this thread, been such a hoot!!!!!!

You and everyone @Scarecrowe . It’s good to see everyone enjoying themselves. Good on you.

Hope your day is ok after the mowing. 💜

that is brilliant @CheerBear

thanks so much for finding her and posting her here.........what a fantastic part of your childhood to share.........she still looks great.

your mission in the garage was well worth it..................

Thanks @Maggie

not a fan of mowing the lawn when the mower is working, really not a fan when I have to do it by hand on my knees......................but gotta do what I gotta do...........let's hope the grass grows real slow because I am not looking forward doing that again lol

We have been having a blast here Maggie.......and we have only scratched the surface of life in the 80's!!!!!!

My friend had an Atari which I loved playing when I could @TAB but yes no computers in the household back then.

I used to save and search for 20cent pieces to take to the shop to play pacman and galaga and caterpilla lol......

loved playing computer games then and now

@Scarecrowe my mum had a poster of Norman Gunston on the back of her sewing room door. Always wondered if she pashed it, like I did my Bay City Rollers posters! (confessions here!)

@CheerBear the barbie I remember best was the hiking barbie

the joke was that inside her sensible boots she still had the high heeled feet!! My bub came in 1988 and this was the only barbie I let her have. Other than that she had action figures - hard to get female ones in those days

LOL @eth Barbie and her high heeled feet.......hilarious........nearly choked on my tea when I read that........................

Wow love Wonder Woman doll......I loved that show as a kid.......of course we all wanted to be like her........................I don't recall Lady Slither though, she is rather scary lol.

I was not into barbie that much, I did have one but hardly played with her. My sister and I had heaps of matchbox cars and we played with them all day.................

But I did have one of these which I loved......and I would not let my sister play with this no matter how much she begged me.....................and she begged often!!!!!

The Bay City Rollers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was a huge fan of those when I was in primary school.............................Do I remember correctly, did they have a TV show on the ABC back in their hey day because I seem to vaguely remember watching them .....

That is funny of you wondering about your mum and her Norman Gunston poster
