As in thread 'oldie but goldie' DaisyDukes wrote '...i wonder what everyone else thinks of the 80's....good or disgustingly bad.......and why.....?'



Please write what you remember about the 80s!



My memories are: Cabbatch Patch kids dolls, the Nintendo Gameboy, punks on the King's Road, 'yuppies' and 'sloanes' with alice bands & huge mobile phone bricks...not to mention all the bands...what are your memories of that wild & creative decade?

I remember an unspoilt TRNC, or Turkish Federated State as it was then.

The 'Ancient Brits' who had lived there in colonial times.

Efes at 50p. A meal plus wine for a fiver.

Everyone being friendly.

Hunting out everyday goods that were in short supply.

One Turkish TV channel. Greek Cypriot TV if you could get the signal.

No internet. No mobile phones. No satellite TV.



Sounds boring but it was fun

Benidorm was not the centre of my ideal expectation!

Went once in 1970 and vowed I would never go again, and haven't.

The birth and introduction of the Macintosh computer - this invention of Mr. Steve Jobs and associates changed the world of printing, publishing, film making, TV etc. The Mac has changed the creative world, our world!

=> In Holland he was called "The Six Million Dollar Man", but he must be the same as "your" beautiful Bionic Man... Thousands of posters (many printable!) here:
