A guy with a silly clothes and a badger that loves mash potato. Sounds like my school drama class at work again.
My favourite bit was when all the stupidity had stopped and they made stuff out of recycled bits and bobs that came out of a shute. I always wondered, though, how they got the […]

Remember being scared of the big bad wolf? Did you want to date /look like Jet? Remember when Shadow got done for using steroids? and the wonder of people fighting with giant cotton buds on elevated platforms?
Gladiators was a phenomenon of family viewing. Everyone knew someone who’s teacher’s friend’s brother’s babysitter had been a contestant […]

The names alone are enough to put you off. When I head the American name for these monstrosities I nearly fell off my chair. Never has fashion been under such assault.
Bum bags have never been cool for British 90’s kids. They conjure up images of the Pet Shop Boys and MC Hammer trousers.
A fad for […]

I heard “Hush” on Triple J the other day and it brought back a wealth of memories. (Sorry Deep Purple fans -this was my era -you’re welcome to hail the original “Hush” by sending us an e-mail or becoming a writer for this website.)
Kula Shaker were an Indian-inspired rock band with bizarre lyrics and an […]

Tapes were once the main form of music storage. People bought singles on tape because they were cheaper than records. The only problem was that if you loved a song too much, the tape would stretch and eventually warp leaving you with a melted, slow-motion version of your tune.
I remember watching the TV and hearing […]

In 1993, Blue Peter did a feature on the Thunderbird’s Tracey Island because many kids at the time had the Thunderbirds toys including Thunderbirds 1,2,3,4 and 5. So Blue Peter showed us how to make our own Thunderbirds HQ using the traditional toilet roll, washing up liquid bottle and papier mache. Due to the requirement […]

I love having mobile phones but there was a time before, when people could be unavailable, dates had to speak to the parents who answered the family phone and mates had to agree a time and place to meet.
Landline phones meant that nights out on the town were a nightmare to organise. If someone missed the […]

The whole reason we have 999 -the circular dial telephone took aaaaages to return to start before you could turn the next number in. People didn’t make so many phone calls because it was actually less effort to run round to your mate’s house or write a letter to your granny. I’m not quite of […]

The curtain hair-style. The bane of any 90’s male’s memory. Along with small circular sunglasses they were cool for a while but basin haircuts will not be missed. No matter how shiny and flowing your locks were.

Shag bands came in the form of jelly bracelets or nylon strips in varying colours. They were the must-have accessory of any 90’s child. They were cheap, they formed a currency in the playground and you could fit around 50 on one arm if you tried. Everyone wore them at school. Those daring enough would […]

Da Da Dum Da Dee Da Da Dum… More people knew the words to this than for the Macarena and the dance was very similar. A tried and trusted favourite for DJs nervous about filling the dance floor of the local civic hall. Here’s the dance as performed by a couple of yokes .

No-one understood the words. Few knew the dance. And yet, two old guys with a plucky young woman singing in a foreign language took British teen discos by storm. Part of the package holiday annual summer hits (along with Las Ketchup), the Macarena was a dance rather than a song.
The boys used to pretend to […]

Donatello, Michaelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo -the heroes in a half shell. Their mentor Splinter is a mutated rat and Shredder and Brains their enemies. Owing to the controversy surrounding whether these cretins were Heroes or Ninjas I have left the title ambiguous for now. Now all together:
Teenage Mutant Heroe Turtles

Everyone was jealous of those hallow’d few who had a Soda Stream maker. Make you own lemonade! Amazing. My next door neighbour had one with a pump action. They’ve come quite some way since then. Inordinately expensive when compared with the price of just buying a bottle of lemonade from the shop, but infinitely more […]
