A few memories from days gone past
 

There must be some nostalgic memories for everyone here:

WARNING: there are a few 'adult' words if you listen carefully.

Very, very clever. Thanks for sharing. I noticed it was a British view of the 70s/80s, but it is very interesting how many of the items metioned cross over between the US and UK. Considering I recall events/people/places/things from the 50s/60s, I am indeed a very old "git"...


<O>

Said video not available for my device.<------- iPad :hmmm:

I recall the '50's too! Dinner was an adventure!:Dhttp://www.bearfabrique.org/Catastro...ods/tstand.jpg

Time to regress a little.:yep::03::haha:
I raised kids during the 70's and 80's.

I was a teen in the 80's. I would live it all again. :yep: I like the video!

Best TV before it went all to pot, just glad I was around to view the 70's & 80's.

I'm unwilling to point out just how much of it I can relate too :smug:

Seems UK specific, but there's a lot in common with the US that I remember quite well. :up:

NICE! :up:


I miss the late 80's and early 90's. :O:

Nice! 80's rules!

pa: the casio calculator watch is back in fashion...

I was born in the 90's and the only thing I really remember from it are the great cartoons that used to be on Nick. Also Animaniacs was the best show during that decade.

Pff, typical sentimental nostalgia of old geezers...oh, wait a minute...:oops:

Of course we had ipad-like devices in the 80s, one is shown at 2:55. The more sophisticated Casio's were able to show the time, calculate and store phone numbers - without being able to actually make a phone call; sounds a lot like the ipad today :03:

What I find interesting is that the Brits have fond memories of the 1/2 p coin, while us German obnoxious kids loved the Shilling/5p coin. It had nearly the same dimensions and weight as the 1 Mark coin while having only 1/6th of its value. Worked great on the older vending and cigarette machines here. So late apologies to the UK for exporting many of your coins to Germany, leaving you unable to play at the penny arcade. :D


Get off my 70's/80s lawn, kiddo - the original Billy Joel song was already dedicated to you! :O::D


And for the even older Brits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NPxbKMvn9w :smug:

80s child here, hitting the big 30 next Friday :dead:
I remember the Berlin wall coming down, Teenage Mutant Hero/Ninja Turtles, Cabbagepatch dolls, Transformers, X-men, Dallas, The Sweeney, Minder, Bread, Highway to Heaven, and all the others. There's a lot of things about the 1980s that make me nostalgic, the electro-synth music wave, the fonts, the derelict underdeveloped docklands of London (the difference with today is astonishing), old rattley slam-door trains, cars with angles and minimal electronics, phones that weighed almost the same as a car battery.

Seems like a different world when comparing now and then. :hmmm:

I prefer Ultravox's version... :03: Although it still doesn't sound right to me without a crackling and popping in the background from the needle against vinyl. :haha:

I thought he spent his time in the 80s on the phone: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1w...-calling_music :smug:
