I went to an 80's theme party and the sad thing... I didn't have to buy a costume. This has done the rounds before, but it's cool, mainly for the Brits. * You never questioned why the A-Team were always imprisoned in places that had sufficient tools to build an armoured tank. * Dungeons & Dragons was your favourite cartoon. * Your lunch times were spent perfecting swan dives and backspins. * You fell out with friends during heated arguments about the relative merits of Matt & Luke. * You owned, or wanted a "Frankie says..." T-shirt. * You have ever danced (or even worse cried) to Kylie & Jason. * Cerise pink, electric blue and banana yellow have ever featured in your wardrobe or make-up collection. * You ever did the top toggle of your coat up around your neck without having your arms in the sleeves, and knew you looked like a super-hero. * You remember when the A-Ha video was the pinnacle of modern technology, and you can still sing all the words. * Parachuting Action man was your favourite toy. * Your best party dress was either a ra-ra or puff-ball skirt. * You ever owned a thin, black leather tie (and were proud of it), or worse it was patterned like a piano. * You wondered why a popular kids TV programme told you to "Turn off your TV set and go and do some less boring instead". * You cried at Zammo's funeral. * You wanted to be either Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys. * You ever said "It's my ball, and if I can't be Kevin Keegan I'm going home!" * You remember the aerobie scare. * You have ever po-goed or space-hopped. * You remember when Keith Chegwin & Maggie Philbin were the hottest romantic couple. * You wondered why your walkie-talkie didn't have the same range as those in the Red Hand Gang. * You were shocked by the controversial plot lines in Degrassi Junior High. * You tried to set up a "Famous Five" or "Secret Seven" gang with your school friends. * You tried to convince your Dad to fit a strip of red lights on the front of his Capri so it looked like KITT. * "Ca-vey Wa-vey!" means anything to you. * You ever had more than 10 sweets in a 10p mix-up. * Not only did you wear luminous clothing, but they were mismatched fingerless gloves and towelling socks. * You remember when Betamax was at the cutting edge of technology. * Conveyor belts regularly carried washing machines, deep-fat fryers and a cuddly toy. * You could have got away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids. * (Girls) You owned a pair of Pixie Boots, generally worn with leg warmers. * (Boys) You owned a pair of pale grey slip-ons, generally worn with white towelling socks. * Shiny grey flecked suits. * You rolled the sleeves of your suit jacket up * Ooh, you could crush a Grape! * You went to school with Pogo Patterson, Gripper Stebson, and Ro-land. * Fingermouse. * You were proud of your picture appearing in the Gallery. * You remember Look In magazine, and when it was only 20p * You wondered why you and your mates never encountered diamond thieves whilst out on your BMXs. * No 73? * You can remember what Quatro tasted like. * Your best mate had a soda stream at home and you were jealous
