For all u 80's children...
I think it's been around before, but it's still quite funny!
All children of the 80's read this, it will take you back...
Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo
Friendship bracelets were ties that couldn't be broken.
You know all the words to "Ice Ice Baby".
You wanted to be on "Jim'll Fix It".
You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before he had plastic
surgery.
You had one of those T-shirts that changed colour with
heat(GlobalHypercolour).
You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off".
You were upset when She-ra, Princess of Power and He-Man got cancelled.
>>>>
You remember Madonna in her cone stage outfit.
You knew "The Artist" when he was humbly called "Prince."
You wore fluorescent-neon clothing... (if you can call it clothing!)
You could break dance (ok, you wished you could)
You remember when Amiga was a state of the art video game system.
You remember M.C. Hammer.
You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air"....
You can remember when it was Jazzy Jeff and The fresh Prince and NOT just
plain Will Smith!
You own any cassettes.
You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins, ALF or ET lunchbox.
You have ever pondered on why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf.
My Little Pony, Gummy Bears and Transformers are familiar to you.
You had a Swatch Watch.
You believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!"
Big wheels and BMX's were the way to go.
With your pink (or blue) portable tape player, you sang to Kylie and Jason!
You owned Polly Pocket or Micro Machines.
You made Ken fall in love with Barbie.
Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away.
You knew that Transformers were "more than meets the eye".
You wore a banana clip at some point during your youth.
You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living in space.
You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair.
You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish.
You recorded songs off the radio with your boom box.
You wore those wide, colourful shoelaces.
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 programme.
You said "bright light, bright light" in a strange high-pitched voice.
You fell out with friends during heated arguments about the relative merits
of Matt & Luke.
Cerise pink, electric blue and banana yellow have ever featured in your
wardrobe or make-up collection.
You did the top toggle of your coat up around your neck without having your
arms in the sleeves, and you knew you looked like a superhero.
Your new winter coat was best used to demonstrate that your wings were like
a shield of steel.
You still remember when the A-ha video was the pinnacle of modern technology
and you can still sing all the words.
Your best party dress was either a ra-ra or puff-ball skirt.
You remember watching a house inhabited by a jester, a pantomime horse and a
woman who sneezed, and thinking that this was perfectly normal.
You tried to convince your Dad to fit a strip of red lights on the front of
a Capri so it looked like KITT.
You had more than 10 sweets in a 10p mix-up.
You hid behind the sofa whenever you heard the word "Exterminate!".
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.
Ooh, you could crush a grape!
You held a chicken in the air or stuck a deckchair up your nose.
You wore legwarmers & tried to do the splits while jumping in the air while
singing you were going to live forever.
Your best mate had a Soda Stream at home and you were jealous.
Any elderly Scottish lady sounds like Supergran
You remember playing British Bulldog, When 'Computer' Tennis, Pac-Man and
Donkey-Kong ruled
You remember hearing the tune then running out to buy an ice cream cone on a
warm summer night - 99's, screwballs or a cider lolly.
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.
Important decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
Pass this on to anyone who needs a break - I DOUBLE-DARE YA!!!+
Brings back alot of memories that

Unfeasably poor computer generated maze featuring some poor lad with a horned bucket on his head being guided through by his incompetant school chums who don't know left from right and invariably end up routing him into a bottomless pit filled with boiling acid.
All this overseen by a cheap Alan Rickman lookalike who mumbles subtle clues to the boys, who then proceed to stare at each other blankly as the clues fly straight over their heads...

You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air"....
I still watch the Fresh Pince of Bel Air, and I still know all the words.
You knew that Transformers were "more than meets the eye".
AND I've still got my transformers... Robots In Disguise.
You never questioned why the A-Team were always imprisoned in places that had sufficient tools to build an armoured tank.
Although I did wonder why I couldn't build a working rocket launcher out of a pen a cereal box and some sticky tape... and theirs always looked so much more realistic as well.
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.
What do you mean "were"!?
You know all the words to "Ice Ice Baby".
No comment.
There's one missing.....
To show you were cool you bought a pair of flourescent yellow and a pair of flourescent green socks and then wore one from each pair together.
So many of us at school used to do that.
