medicinebox Posted October 15, 2004 Author Share Posted October 15, 2004 BTW - Was 'Garbage Pale Kids' the American name for what us Brits called 'Cabbage patch Kids'? No, they were a sort of vile parody of the original 'Cabbage Patch Kids', In the uk in the mid 80's. Chewing gum with collection cards. Full Collection here And we think Thai comic books are morbid... 'British Knights'Wow I'd forgot all about my BK's. They were cool as <deleted>. Where did they go??? Sky divers crisps(pickled onion flavour) mmmmm Rock'n'rollers crisps. "Salt 'n' vinegar, flavour, no wonder they call em rock 'n' rollers!!!" song.

kayo Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Flashdance and Footloose were killer movieWham! Excellent... I was about 8 or 9 years old, dancing around my bedroom the the Wham Rap! Wham, Bam, I am, The Man... Or dancing with a broomstick to Careless Whispers.. "I´m never gonna dance again, Helpless feeling I´ve got to know the rythm, Though it´s easy to pretend, I know you´re not a fo-oo-ool. Should have known better than to cheat a friend, .... And then that wonderful bridge in the middle: ... """ToNIGHT the music seems so loud, I wish that we could lose this crowd, Baby, it´s better this way, We´d hurt eachother with the things we want to say, Could´ve been so good together, Could have built this dance forever, But no-oooow who´s gonna dance with me... Please stay! """ Ha, what a trip. And what was with all the Dance movies in the eighties anyway?? BTW, somebody mentioned the guy on Rollerskates from Fame... If I remember correctly that was a Character called Leroy (the black guy) real name I believe was Anthony something or other, and he died a few weeks ago, aged 41, after a long and succesful Broadway/off Broadway career.. RIP, Leroy. Cheers for the memories... BTW, you don´t catch me dancing with broomsticks anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
