Hi Bimpy,
I miss the past (the 80s & 90s mainly), but I guess there are thing's that have happend since i'd not know of etc - but would I swap them for the past!!?, let's just say that that is too tricky to call I feel.
I mean I loved growing up, loved the 90s - that is still fresh in my mind even now (say 17/18 years since - 1994/1995). Though thing's seemed more simplistic in them day's - like College and School (and boy's own stuff, like Phil Redmond created with Tucker in Grange Hill in the late 70s/early 80s), I just love and so so rate how simplistic thing's where then. Now it just seems like everything is to "the max" with the Internet/24 hour shopping etc, but I guess sadly this is change and happens from any era to the next etc.

It is just a shame I guess we can not have bits of both era's properly (I know we can through like Forums like here etc), but if it could be more like connected say (more say 50/50) that'd be great I think
Though i'd hated to of been any older growing up as a Kid with what Kids have had to go through - as the years go on and life got worse with society etc, but it would of been nice to "taste it" too, I feel, as in a way the younger generations have had it way easier but by contrast they don't know some of the stuff we know and vica-versa.
be interesdting to see if we where put slap bang in both the eighties and nineties as kids to see which we preferred.
i wonder what sort of a split it would be. 50/50 60/4 the one on the left 60 meaning the eighties.

As a lecturer at a local college, and having turned 50 back in January, some of my students are fascinated with all things 1970s at the moment...the music and clothes mainly...and they seem very jealous that I was around at that time. I try to tell them that it wasn't all cool David Bowie tunes and glitter balls, but their eyes glaze over when I mention three day weeks and power cuts...they genuinely seem sad to be teenagers now, which is sad in itself. And looking back I AM glad to have been a teenager when I was.
i as a teenager in the late eighties and im glad i was a teenager then as opposed to now.
i think being a teen then was far more fun than being one now.
in afct back then people had more time for each other.
yes in the seventies and eighties there were plenty of troubles but things where more exciting as well compared to now.

Totally agree with that, things were so much simpler at that time,
Of course we all had our own teenage problems, but it was a great time.
I loved the music of the era & I had a lot of amazing times with my friends.
Good days !
groups like the bangles bananarama,abba etc etc.
a time when music was not manafactured no need for realityb shows.
ive some wonderful memories of long hot summers in the eighties building tree huts.
i still think of those great days yes northern ireland where i live had the troubles but back then we could leave our doors unlocked and we knew nothing would happen.
back then neighbours really knew each other and looked out for each other.
is it any wonder im still stuck in the past.
