The 80's and 90's, Great days!
Appoligies for the lengths of theses but i think there good and the 80's one hits the spot
In the 80's
According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the early 80's probably shouldn't have survived, because our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint which was promptly chewed and licked. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play with pans. When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip-flops and fluorescent 'spokey dokey's' on our wheels. As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or airbags - riding in the passenger seat was a treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle and it tasted the same.
We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy juice with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing. We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no-one actually died from this. We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem. We would
leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one minded. No 99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no DVDs, no Internet chat rooms.
We had friends - we went outside and found them. We played elastics and rounders, and sometimes that ball really hurt! We fell out of trees, got cut, and broke bones but there were no law suits. We had full on fist fights but no prosecution followed from other parents. We played
chap-the-door-run-away and were actually afraid of the owners catching us. We walked to friends' homes. We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on mummy or daddy to drive us to school, which was just round the corner. We made up games with sticks and tennis balls. We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of...They actually sided with the law.
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. This, my friends, is surprisingly frightening......and it might put a smile on your face: The majority of students in universities today were born in 1986........They are called youth. They have never heard of We are the World, We are the children, and the Uptown Girl they know is by Westlife not Billy Joel.
They have never heard of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Nena Cherry or Belinda Carlisle. (possibly not a bad thing of course....) For them, there has always been only one Germany and one Vietnam. AIDS has existed since they were born. CD's have existed since they were born. Michael Jackson has always been white. To them John Travolta has always been round in shape and they can't imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance. They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are films from last year. They can never imagine life before computers. They'll never have pretended to be the A Team, Red Hand Gang or the Famous Five. They'll never have applied to be on Jim'll Fix It or Why Don't You. They can't believe a black and white television ever existed. And they will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile phone.
In the 90's
10p Mr Frosty Ice Pops on long summer days!
Gordon the Gopher!
You owned or longed for an Adidas three stripe tracksuit

You had a pen pal
You could only watch the Simpson's on sky
On a Saturday evening you watched Catchphrase, Gladiators, Generation Game, Noels House Party and then Casualty
You taped the Pepsi Chartshow on radio one and tired in vain to pause the tape before the annoying guy talked and ruined the whole thing.

Going Live, then Live and Kicking was the place to be on a Saturday Morning - you know you remember the number 0181 811 8181
You knew every word to the theme tune from Fresh Prince of Bel Air
You collected Premier League Stickers and did swoops at playtime
Girls wore crappy lipstick such as - coffee shimmer, heather shimmer
and birthday suit!
You wore kickers and wallaby's with the tags hanging from them
You thought saying - "I know you are, you said you are but what am
I" to every cuss that that came your way!

A Message for Rich
Don't forget to ask your mates about who did the website for Team Clown.
For anyone else who hasn't seen it I suggest you take a look
www.teamclown.co.uk
Its a pretty dam cool website and possibly the way forward for 'the booze'. It would possibly mean our own .com or .co.uk site as well

The Mekon Regains His Crown!
I've put up a little poker league in place of the unused links on the left. As you can see I'm in the lead by 1.
Jacks luck seems to have dried up and wasn't ever a serious threat on sat. Perhaps a period of convalescence and reflection will bring him back to form.
Turkey played like his usual happy go lucky self, always worrying as he doesn't really understand the meaning of the word bluff.
Ric only seemed to have £50 in chips but always seemed to be still in. Work that out.
Shorty was drunk.
I always find it hard to remember what Dave did (apart from get a big lump on his head and I aint laughed like that in ages!) which means he must be a boring player, the Steve Davis of the poker world except Steve Davis plays poker so I don't know how that all works out in the end.
My worry is Andy "Dark Horse" Peacock. Never seen a poker face like it, and, although lucky at the final showdown, won a well deserved game. Kudos to you evil Andy.
A few good games and a good night, cheers lads
Burls over and out

The Things People Get in the Paper For

I've just been on a short trip to Vienna and I had a very disturbing conversation!
I was walking around an art gallery of 11th - 16th Centuary art, not understanding any of it, and mainly concentrating on the fact that Jesus was missing a penis in every single painting ( why?). Anyway, a seemingly nice man, started to describe some important features to us (except the penis thing), before suddenly stating that he was a firm believer in alternative therapies. He then proceeded to talk for ten minutes, telling us the benefits of drinking your own urine, and trying to persuade us to try it. Having never been in a situation like this, i had no idea how to make him stop and escape, and i spent the time thinking, this guy drinks his own piss! He also spoke of the benefits of rubbing it on your skin ( I couldn't smell anything dodgy), and I have to admit, his skin did look soft.
I knew there was a reason I tried to avoid being cultured and going to art galleries!

Logo (altered)
After getting hold of a copy of the one turkey had it turned out to be a scan of a label itself and would have caused a few problems when it was being used. I had a look on tinternet for a digital version of the one he used and couldn't find one. I used one quite similar (same brand) and used the ideas that turkey had which looked great. Don't know what you think but it has 2005 on it for when we started and im prob going to add the names of everyone involved either arround the edge or next to the red star in the middle. anways let me know what you think (igonre the blue it just means transparent)
