STOP! HAMMER TIME!

Well I can say that half of these ring true tome, so I'm a a half-child of the 80's?

born in '89, havent heard of very many things except the TV shows

did that in the 90's

As if I wasn't struggling enough with my aging, you had to go and post this Goose. Thanks. A good portion of that list applies to me. I was heartbroken when She-ra went off the air. And I used to get up extra early on Saturday mornings to watch Scooby Doo and Richie Rich. Ahhh........the good ol' days.

a few of these apply to Britain only so you might not get them :}

that's probably why I didn't get them all! because I am truly a child of the 80's. I did all that stuff and was born in 1980!

I figured that, so I just ignored the ones I didn't get.........

Aloha !

Hehehe, most of it is true, but I didn't play with Little Pony's for example, I had Turtles !

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

yes, but it's funny, because there are some real similarities !
