    I guess its different between girls or guys, I think most guys will go with either Red or Green/White and most girls go with pink. The movie was awesome though! Ivan ooze and the ninjazords!

    Hang on now! even I don't remember Thunderbirds when it was first relesed.... that would be children of the 60s! I believe the first of the series (Stingray? I'm sure someone will correct me) was 1963, then the others came out through the 60s.. they have just been repeated and rerepeated since then.
    Thunderbirds the Musical, however, was 90s ;D

    Hehehe I remember everything off the 90s list. Scary!! Okay, I'm a gigantic nerd and I kept this forward from like 4 years ago. I think there are still a few redundancies but here's an 80s list for North-Americans:

    YOU KNOW YOU GREW UP IN THE 80's IF...

    * You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE".

    * You watched the Pound Puppies.

    * You wore biker shorts under your skirts and felt stylish.

    * You yearned to be a member of the Baby-sitters club and tried to start a club of your own.

    * You owned those lil Strawberry Shortcake pals scented dolls.

    * If you ever watched "Fraggle Rock".

    * You had plastic streamers on your handle bars.

    * You can sing the entire theme song to "Duck Tales".

    * When it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

    * You wore a ponytail on the side of your head.

    * You saw the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on the big screen.

    * You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

    * You made your mom buy one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side.

    * You played the game "MASH" (Mansion, Apartment, Shelter, House) with friends at school.

    * You a wore Jordache jean jacket and you were proud of it.

    * You remember reading "Tales of a fourth grade nothing" and all the Ramona books.

    * You wanted to be a Goonie.

    * You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off...

    * You still get the urge to say "NOT" after every sentence.

    * Barbie and the Rockers was your favourite band.

    * You thought Sheena and He-Man should hook up.

    * You ever owned a pair of Jelly-Shoes.

    * After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I know what you are, but what am I?"

    * You have ever played with a Skip-It.

    * You had or attended a birthday party at McDonalds.

    * You've gone through this list occasionally saying "This wasn't from the 80's!"

    * You remember Popples.

    * "Dont worry, be happy"

    * You wore like, EIGHT pairs of scrunched-down socks over tights with high top Reeboks.

    * You remember watching both "Gremlins" movies.

    * You know what it maeant to say "Care Bear Stare!!"

    * You remember watching Rainbow Bright and My Little Pony Tales"

    * You thought Doogie Howser was hot.

    * You remember Alf, the lil furry brown alien from Melmac.

    * You cried when Zack and Kelly broke up on Save by the Bell.

    *******************************************

    Birthday parties at McDonald's - such a simpler time - when throwing an ashtray at a pyramid of cups passed for quality children's entertainment....

    oh mash.....
    such good times
    Except I never used "shelter", we had "shacks"...
    and maybe you guys were more original than my friends and I were, but there was always the "carboard box with wheels" for the vehicles

    Ah yes, but children of the 70s would have phoned Noel Edmond's Multicoloured Swap Shop on 01 811 81 81

    Nothing changes apart from BT and their phone codes!
