HAHA - you young whippersnapper you! Song words? playing the record over and over and writing them down, then later, playing the cassette and stopping and starting it! Occasionally 'Jackie' would have song words in!

 

As for Philip Schofield - he was in the 'Broom cupboard' with what'sisname

 

GORDON THE GOPHER!!!!

I knew if i said John or Paul you would have said Ringo or George!!! :o

Well I am a member of the awkward squad. xD However I would really have preferred George, honest. He always seemed to have that magical, mystical quality of a man that was so much more than you saw on the surface.

 

However this is all with hindsight of course - Beatlemania was just a bit before my time!

Oh for sure! Beatles? were they like Adam and the Ants?

Ah now Adam Ant! The first Mr HappyMaz and I used to dance to them a lot in our youth. We have an ant problem in our garden and youngest son went to tread on one I suddenly found myself reciting the lyrics to 'Ant Music' at him. :o

Move over ladies - you've got your own thread!

 

Well done jules01!

 

Smash hits, you betcha!! Fast Forward too (I had a Fast Forward sticker of Philip Schofield on my tv remote control!) I also bought Look In magazine too. I had a Gordon the Gopher puppet - loved it!

 

Penny Crayon - the Louie of its day! And let's not forget Happy, Sleepy and Dumpy - keep it a secret now please :o

 

 

My additions: Pigeon Street (coo coo), Henry's Cat (Who was Henry???), Sh sh sh Shoe People, Thundercats, Macgiver, I gotta throw in Happy Days too!

 

Ahhhhhhhh memories

and this seems to have been hijacked by "those of us of a certain age" :o

 

Beatles were a bit before my time... now Rolling stones on the other hand... along with Procal Harum, and Status Quo..

 

Elton John was starting out.. saw him at a local converted cinema.. in those days they had no seats on ground floor, only circle.. and had concerts in them... no multi-screens just the one large space... now I should return to 'our thread' and leave the toddlers to it!

bros where ok my mate was a brosette I was more into AHA, Wet Wet Wet and still morning the split of wham..... plus I was too tight to buy smash hits I was there taping the songs off the radio and then stop starting to write down the words

 

I was also a closet ABBA fan too but that was not cool to admit in the mid 80's

 

Im trying to think of TV I watched and I think of lots of american TV shows A-team, knight rider, kids from fame, The Fall guy, dukes of hazzard.

........oh then theres theclassics.... bagpuss, chorlton and the wheelies, Jamie and his magic torche

 

and not forgetting Danger mouse and trapdoor
