people over 30

in the 80's did you wear a green jacket with orange inside? And was it  really grim and brown? Were all cars rubbish? Were you cold all the time?

I bet you did. All my memories of it are being miserable. Although I was and still am a miserable kid.

Were all the people who got into their teens in the 90's FUCKING MAD FOR IT!!!!!!!! I mean with the glow sticks and the sweaty pill raves? I'd love to be around then. I'd be mad for it, thats for sure.

You must have known Id answer this

I had one of those jackets when  I was a kid though I remember it as being Sunny all the time infact I remember a plague of locust sweeping the West Country (this seems stupid but I really do)

In the 90's I was mostly an indie kid though I did a fair amount of pill popping and dancing as well

Cheeky bugger OJ!

Yep, guilty as charged.

Friday nights were the order of the day back then, people from miles around - Cardiff, Brizzle, Reading - would make the trip to Goldiggers for the likes of Top Buzz and Rat Pack!

Pills and powders white, whahaaaay!  

Just say no Dave  :?

Nope, a DJ and an MC who used to be pretty 'hip' with the young 'uns.

They had nothing on DJ Ratty though - scratch-tastic!

God I feel old :roll:

In the 80's I had a couple of Saabs a bit like this

  I loved these motors, slow but great in cold weather with heated seats, and a curious declutching mechanism which meant you could disengage the engine and free wheel which was good in icy conditions and good for fuel economy.

Reg tell me I wasnt dreaming the Locust

the green jackets were kind of 'parker' or 'bomber' style, i can remember we used to wear them inside out to be a team of green or orange when playing football or 'army'

one time at junior school they banned footballs for some reason?!

we got round the rule by  putting a smaller ball in a sock and playing with that, claiming that socks are not banned.

the headmaster did smile, and soon footballs were legal again.

if you can remember the sweaty illegal raves, you weren't there. ektos,spiral tribe etc, there was a massive rave at lechlade once, think it was easter 1992, 48 hours of madness!!!

of course large illegal events like that led to the criminal justice act being brought in, in which it became an arrestable offence to congregate in a group of more than 20 whilst listening to music.  so the only events you will get now are stewarded and policed corporate 'partys' like homelands

i was certainly not miserable as a town fan in the mid to late eighties, the macari years were my grounding as a town fan
