The ole, ole song from World Cup 90*


*Yeah right-the frigging song is played constantly to remind ourselves how we got to the quarter finals of the world cup 20 YEARS AGO :rolleyes:

We're even sadder than the Brits who harp on about the 1966 World Cup (at least they won!!)

Oooooooh.

There was never a week where more than three of the Dance Top 10 had an actual video, the others were just record label screensaver efforts. The three with videos would all feature fat tattooed squaddie types dancing topless in Eye-beefa.

the purple tin

Only having one television in the house (no remote control either:()
I have a theory on why people had more children in the 80's and 90's-it was so fathers would always have a voice activated remote control at their disposal.:p

What I hated/do not miss from the 90's...

Being a teenager (treated like a child but expected to act like an adult)...No win situation!!!

The fashion at the time...horrific! Please NEVER return (all other decades have!)...Fingers crossed!

All those rediculous songs, mainly pop and dance that just made no sense at all!

Ectasy! (never took it but saw many off their heads & they looked like twats!)

How did we survive without mobile phones?!!! (i did get my 1st in 1999 though)...i used to live in a denim jacket and kept my giant NOKIA 5110 in the pocket, I looked so stupid but thought I was cool...Cringe!
