Re: 1980'S BOARD

Re: 1980'S BOARD

"i love it when a plan comes together"  8)

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Ahhh the 80's, my favourite time, remember new years eve 1979 and the show kick up the 80's to bring the new year in.  Remember going to see Hazel O'Connor in Breaking Glass at the piccies and thinking she was soooo cool. Gary Numan in concert, Soft Cell, Japan, Siouxie and the Banshees, Spandau Ballet and many many more, didn't have a favourite band would listen to anything and still do.  Had a great time in the 80's, as a new school leaver (1984)  but having an even better time now, it's great to remenisce though. :-*

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

i am to young to remember the 80s

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

to drunk you mean ;D

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

God, where do you start?? what an era!!!

Wham, Bros, Culture Club, Wet Wet Wet ... all those girly groups.
Fame! I wanna live forever.....

Apart from rara skirts and legwarmers, anyone remeber those knee-length cord trousers, pedal pushers??   ;D

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

i am too young to remember a lot of the 80's, but i know a lot of the songs, i also had an atari.  I remember the a team.  Also eternal flame by the bangles (was that the 80's?  ???)  I love that song, brings bakc a lot of memories.  as i said, bit too young  :-/ , but love the music from back then.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

I think you hit the spot there Lettie, no-one had just one fav band everyon liked lots of stuff! and of course there's some of Lar-de's originals on here! didn't it open in 82/83? we used to go on a Thurs night then get up for school the next day! and I think about once a month we used to hit the cats wiskers!

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

its nice to see you all take an interest in the 80's :)
i enjoyed the new romantic era but i still have a folder full of 80's on my comp that i listen to when i'm a bit peeed off.
if anyone wants to see any pics of the 80's(music,films,tv shows,clothes etc)then let me know and i will post some on here for you!
you never know it may bring back that special memory for you.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

superb film starring molly ringwald,emilio estevez & ally sheedy.............if only detention was like that when we was at school.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Did you enjoy st elmo's fire, also starred, ally sheedy.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

i loved the 80's......all the new romantic stuff....great thread jason.....keep up the good work!
any pics of pop bands in their heyday?? omd,erasure,soft cell,depeche mode etc.?

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

st.elmos fire wasn't a bad film but not as good as the breakfast club.
sorting the pics out for you becky! ;)

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Littlemo, have very fond memories of Lar de Dars, and having to get up for school the day after. Was supposed to be for over 25's when it first opened but we always used to get in (I've always looked haggered) ::)  My dad once caught me up there and went mad [smiley=cursing.gif]

New Era was cool in the early 80's and all the new romantic stuff. Went to see Human League last year, and they are still brilliant. Kim Wilde was playing and Altered Images they were quite good. Dollar, Visage, Belle Stars and 5 Star were also playing, and they were so bad they were funny [smiley=lol.gif]

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

some good bands mentioned there lettie.

early depeche mode pic for becky.....

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

omd..............

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Loved Depeche Mode and OMD, but never got to see them live. Went to see Madness, Squeeze, Soft Cell, Numan, also saw Erasure down at London Docklands but that was in January 1990, so doesn't really count. Love 80's music, but really will listen to anything, have a very varied collection of stuff, ranging from Nat King Cole and Nina Simone to the Manics. I rarely get time to listen to my cd's they mainly gather dust, but would not part with any of them. ;D

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

i should be going to bed but what the hell............i listen to allsorts,i was a dj for 13 years(mobile)so i have quite a collection of vinyl and cd's.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Thought you might have been, as you seem quite knowledgeable about music.  80's will always stick in my mind, as I was becoming old enough to be interested in music, dancing, make - up, and generally loafing about and having a good time. Went to school with a few hangovers, and how I ever passed any exams is beyond me. Will always have a soft spot for 80's music. ;D

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

THAT'S why you are so good at this jason. I have to really think about it , but it's second nature to you.lol ;D

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

lol........i do have a head start,but this is why i start these boards,for a bit of fun and to test your knowledge...lol
i must admit though i can struggle on the film one! :-/

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

The 80's were crap - I slept through it all- if you wanted decent music, proper clothes (i.e. real flares, not like this nonsense the kids wear today) and a good time there was only one place to be  - the '70's.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

I have to say that the sixties was the best era, only a lot of you are to young to remember it unlike me.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Got to like Paul young in the 80's.Before it was all heavy rock.Deep purple and Rainbow and the likes.must have started getting mellow in the 80's. LOL! Left Blighty in 1982 to make my way in Europe.Will admit one thing though.Wherever you get on the continent its English speaking groups that make the top 5 all the time.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

I would av liked to have been a teenager in the 50s loved 60s and 70s but cant say has i cared for the 80s much.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

80's was when mortification set in...

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

i was born in 80. i remember my mum watching prisoner cell block h on a thursday night. the80s wernt a good time for me but the 90s were the best time of my life

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Prisoner Cell block H, Brookie, Home and Away. Oh yes some good things came out of the 80s. They wern't all bad I suppose.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

well i loved the 80's and that is my opinion,if you didn't like the 80's dont post on here!! ::)

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Drivel music - who remembers George Michael, and looked what happened to him -  drivel TV (brookside) drivel piccys...so bad I can't even remember one

Give me the 70's anytime.....great music - Rolf Harris, Middle of the Road (Who can recall the all-time classic, Chirpy-Chirpy Cheep-Cheep...), Bay City Rollers.....Great TV - who can ever forget Jason King - (10 million men wore their shirtcuffs rolled over their jacket sleeve until the guy who played him was caught doing the dirty in a gents bog in Bristol.... ) and the piccys? Jaws..Star Wars...the Godfather..Last Tango...Emmanuel...classics, the lot.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

The Smiths...... the name says it all..... dismissed by many due to stevens vocal talents as being "miserable and depressing" not pausing long enough to absorb the lyrics of a giant nevermind john on the guitar......oh bliss.......well jason probably not your cup of tea from the 80s but you got me thinking about it! ...nice topic cya!

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

The Smiths? Never heard of 'em

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Definately wrong board for you then teabag if you haven't heard of the smiths ::)........cya on another board!

Re: 1980'S BOARD

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

yes teabag doesn't like the 80's :o

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Tealeaf is a sweetie, he does things like this to wind you up, he's a very naughty boy. If we see him at the christmas party I'll make sure there's 80's music on the jukebox all night. The 80's are important and significant to us, cos that's when we were growing up, I'm sad I missed the 60's and I was too young to appreciate the 70's (loved Bay city rollers though) Most of my brilliant memories are from the 80's

I'll give you a  [smiley=kiss.gif]  big kiss if I see you at the party tealeaf and a couple of dodgers, but you have to save some for Anne. ;D

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

anyway back to the 80's

Re: 1980'S BOARD

The Comic Strip Presents
A Team
Some films I remember, Desperately Seeking Susan, Beverley Hills Cop, Dirty Dancing, Return of the Jedi

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Prisoner Cell Block H and Dallas.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

prisoner.............classic tv show...........did you know the woman who played bea still does personal appearances in the uk?
i wonder if lizzie is still alive?
vinegar tits....lmao
freaky ferguson........big butch and would crush your balls with 2 fingers.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

woman who played bea, has lived in the u.k for quite a few years now

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

i know............did you see the documentary on it a couple of years ago?
i believe lizzie was still alive then........im going to have a search on the net and tell you what they are doing now....if you are interested?

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

bea smith-Not long ago nobody wanted to know about former Prisoner star Val Lehman.  But like a fine wine, her appeal has grown with age.
The actress, who played 'Top Dog' Bea Smith, is currently enjoying a renaissance Down Under thanks to a regular segment on a talk show in which she talks about antiques.

Val, who now runs a bric-a-brac shop, has become such an authority on antiques that there's talk that she might front an Aussie version of the Antiques Roadshow.

....well i never....antiques hey!

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

There are loads of cell block related sites out there.
Did some surfin the other day. Lizzie was my favorite.
Brill actress.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

yeh she was funny.....just been on about 5 different sites and there wasn't much on lizzie. :'(

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Remember watching Kenny Everett video show with Sid Snot and Gizzard Puke.
Remember the first series of Blackadder,
The Golden Girls
French and Saunders
Films included  - Gremlins, Ghoulies, St Elmo's Fire, Ghostbusters

Some great comedy came out of the 80's.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

"Great" is a relative term, i.e. immensely better, stronger or whatever than the norm.

The stuff (lets call it culture) that came out in the 60's and 70's can be called truly great in comparison to what proceeded it: What came out in the the 1980's was meaningless drivel in contrast to the 60s/70/s and to discuss it's merits is like discussing your favouite colour of toilet paper.

Nevertheless, you do have my sympathies. Anyone who "grew up" in the 80's deserve all the TLC they can get

[smiley=cool.gif]

I do realise that

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

There were good and bad bits in all eras mentioned. lol

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

I think the 80's just got the bad bits.....mind you, not as bad as the Naughties......the music now must be the worse ever, by far.....I do feel sorry for the kids to have to put up with this crap

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

i suppose people have their own opinion on the era that they liked or disliked.....this board is the 1980's and a lot of people on the forum grew up in the 80's.like i keep saying if you enjoyed the 80's then post,but i dont think people should be castigated for loving the 80's......if you enjoyed the 70's then go and start a board on the 70's,if you enjoyed the 60's then go and start a board on the 60's,and leave us new romantics to it!
;)

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Ihave to say that i love all kinds of music, 60s music sticks in my mind the most because i was a teenager then, but i have allways kept up with the times.I love all kinds of clubland music, my nieces and nephews love it that i buy the same type of music as them.Just because you are getting older does'nt mean you have to stick in the past. moving with the times is what keeps you young. ;D

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Well said Janet, applaud for that one. I too love all kinds of music and like a lot of older stuff, but do try to keep up with the times. I think I will probably grow old disgracefully :D

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

well as you know i also listen to all kinds of music......the charts in the past 5-8 years as been rubbish.........i suppose that is why i love the 80's music so much,because i went through a lot of changes in that era..it holds good memories and i keep hold of them through 80's tunes.
;)

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Cheers Lettie. [smiley=ban.gif]

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Hey, Tealeaf why don't ya start yer own 70s board.  ???

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

I will......but I shall depart this 80's one with this observation:

Mathematical Theory, specifically that pertaining to Random Numbers, says that if a million monkeys sit down at a million typewriters for a million years, one of them will produce the complete works of William Shakespear

The same theory states none of them will produce one word in relation to that crap masquerading as music and films from the 1980's.

I rest my case.

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

what was that crap he just wrote??

how many posts has this thread had??

now he has his own board we can carry on with the decade we love.............THE 80'S. ;D

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

Hey Jason
you got a rubicks cube/furry dice hanging above the dash of your 1981 Ford Escort?

Re: 1980'S BOARD
 

My sister could do the Rubiks cube, but I couldn't. Was never patient enough really. She used to spend hours messing with it, and I just thought it was a total waste of time (cos I couldn't do it) :-/

Re: 1980'S BOARD

Ooooh Chips,
Was determined to marry Eric Estrada [smiley=mar.gif] never mind, he would've probably turned out to be a git anyway. Me and my sisters used to play at Charlie's Angels when we weren't singing into our hairbrushes. Took my youngest sister who's only 13 to see Charlie's Angels 2, she doesn't remember the original, she didn't know there even was one. She loved the film, but I have to say, it was not as good as the series I watched as a kid. 8)

Who had a slinky?  You remember, those coiled spring thingies that used to walk down your stairs.

Also anyone remember slime?  The horrid green stuff in a tub, it always felt cold to touch and it would stick to stuff. I once put a blob of it into my hand and after coughing, showed it my mum, to try and get out of school. Told her I'd coughed it up.
Went to school with a thick ear. ;D
