An Extension to Kirsty's

Reading through Kirsty's blog was so true (!) but there are things that she just clearly missed during her time in the 80's.

Kirsty, Where were you?!


You know all the words to "Ice Ice Baby". Nope – but remember the song!Nope? What?!


You had one of those T-shirts that changed colour with heat (Global Hypercolour). Nope Where were you?! Mine was blue/green and turned purple.

You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off". Huh?! Karate Kid, Kirsty!

You sang to Kylie and Jason! Yes! Did you not have a t-shirt with there picture on? You really were not a true fan!

What?!You remember watching a house inhabited by a jester, a pantomime horse and a woman who sneezed, and thinking that this was perfectly normal. Nope! What was that? Rent a ghost. What are you like. No mention of t-bag though and fun house?!

Your best mate had a Soda Stream at home and you were jealous. Not my best mate – but my Nan had one and we seriously loved it! Those were the days when soda streams had glass bottles – none of this plastic rubbish! You mean YOU didn't have one? We did. Simply the best!

Thanks Dawn for enlightening me. I heard from someone else that wax on wax off was Karate kid. I have seen the film once and that was about a year or so ago!

I wasn't a big fan of Kylie and Jason - no!

Yes you are completely right about T-bag and fun house! Classics!
