Looking at profiles of new people on here I've just realised I'm no longer the youngest poster on here. Giggy - D.O.B. 20/10/1989 Age: 18 years, 9 months Nickster - D.O.B. 17/02/1990 Age: 18 years, 5 months I'm not sure if this discovery makes me happy or sad.  |

Just think how I feel Giggy, just when I find a nice new messageboard, where I can gossip about her to my heart's content, she signs up and spoils all my fun.

Isn't Smalldude the youngest registered member? Although it's been so long since he's posted I'm not sure whether he counts any more ;D

Neither Giggster; it makes you a Tinpot-anorak matey. ;D Or a potential stalker!!  ;D I find it difficult to comprehend the existence of people that don't have first hand knowledge of the 80s... How are you equipped to avoid making all those mistakes?!  |

They won't avoid them, it's the reason why we will end up with a Conservative government in a couple of years. The poor deluded fools! |

Ha! A bit of politics!
I'm not sure they can do a worst job, youth. After all, there isn't much left to shut down, privatise and generally bugger up. Anything that derails the current mob's plans to spoil my enjoyment of beer, food and socialising would even appear to be a good thing on the surface, but it looks like it will be a couple of years before I have to think too much about it.
Anyway, I was thinking more about such horrors as leg warmers, ra-ra skirts, Spandau Ballet and mullets - all of which I regret deeply. ;D

about it. Anyway, I was thinking more about such horrors as leg warmers, ra-ra skirts, Spandau Ballet and mullets - all of which I regret deeply. ;D Oh dear , that was bad. Not sure what was worse, the seventies or the eighties. On the other hand, the footballers had very tight shorts. A good thing IMO.  |

Somewhere there exists a picture of me in full-on, flouncy Spandau Ballet shirt, I was a regular at The Rum Runner in Brum you know. |

Although you have kept the mullet. Err, no. Long does not equal mullet. It s long all over - front, sides and back. I did have a superb mullet in the late 80s though. Shoulder length at the back, very short sides and spiky on top. |

ha. There HAS to be a picture.
As for the 80's. Only the briefest of memories but in terms of the politics one has to remember how utterly irrelevant the actions of the 1980's Conservative government are to people of my age and indeed how irrelevant they actually are to most people now.
Conversely the actions of the Labour government in my lifetime have had the single largest impact on my and most of my peers lives with the introduction of tuition fees and top up fees and general lying and idiocy throughout.
It's not really possible to put into words my dislike of the Labour Party what with tuition fees, taxation on beer, unelected leaders, rising living cost and the general inability to get anything right tied to the fact they're only clinging onto power because ignorant people cannot accept that the last Conservative government is not the same one trying to get into power now.
Argh.
Tight shorts are wrong too!

Dammit, medibot, do you realise that the old tory party were the driving force behind the removal of grants and their 'replacement' with a loan system (or more accurately fees)? Tuition fees were just a logical extension of that god awful system. That the new tories are all in favour of tuition fees, top up fees and the abolition of the grant also seems to have bypassed your radar. Effectively you're advocating replacement of a government of the centre with another government of the centre. Wonderful, that'll really have a chance of changing things as we continue to ignore the changes we need to make in the country to meet current and future challenges. We might have had a chance of change if John Smith hadn't died but the gruesome twosome who have since led the labour party were already agitating against him so might well have screwed the '97 election even then. Sadly, even if he had lived, it would probably still have been a bloody mess. Anyway, old tory led directly to its bastard offspring new labour which has created its own unwanted love child in the new tories. Whilst the rich continue to get richer and the poor continue to get poorer. Marvellous. Not that I'm becoming at all apathetic or disillusioned with our parliamentary system  |

It's all tosh - you vote for them, based upon what? National issues, or a promise to get that Tesco superstore plan shelved... Anyway; you poor deluded types, we civil servants actually run the country. Keep it ticking over while the politicos foam at the mouth and try to outdo each other with plans to build more and more houses, cut carbon footprints to the size of a pair of feet exposed naked on Everest for 72 hours; reduce unemployment, increase prosperity drone, drone, blah. I would like you to remember this. Each time a party in power is allowed to do things their way; we all suffer. Just leave it to us; you know it makes sense  |
