    Its Hammer time.

    Its all Maggie's fault, she closed them pits and sold all the council houses.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      Blaming her for mc hammer is going a bit too far IMO
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        I used to wear pants called pegs. Do you remember them? They were baggy with a pleat that came all the way up the front of each leg to the waistline.

          In the 80s we were taking in all our jeans. Anything that could pull over your ankle with ease was 'flares'.

            I wore jeans and a donkey jacket. My more feminine counterparts were in ra-ra skirts.

              I remember jeans got baggy around mid 1988. Out with stonewashed, in with baggy... But not flares, no thanks.

                  Did you feel like you had 100,000 stony-faced union-card-carrying manual labourers backing you up whereever you went?

                    Is that white denim? There used to be this geezer at one of our local nightclubs (well, our only one actually - Oscar's at Longleat - long since closed) and he would hit the dance floor on his own before anyone else was pissed enough to get up and dance. He wore white denim trousers, white denim jacket and white gloves. He also had a hairstyle which I think was called a backperm - a bit like a mullet - really short on top and Kevin Keegan at the back. He would get up there and do this style of dancing which I seem to recall was called bodypopping. And while he was doing it he had a facial expression that made it look like he was having every sexual climax he'd ever experienced rolled into one. How the feck did he get away with that?
