Tamagotchis were the best though - i still want another one! I remember the good old days of 'getting off' too, none of this pulling business :p

Perhaps the one thing i should forget is my 5ive obsession....its still burning bright!

Apart from a lot of the female ones, I pretty much fit the bill.

Blur will always rule over Oasis. And I still "get off" with people, although I'm not adverse to "pulling" aswell now.

With shockingly few exceptions, I participated in all of those. To "get off" -what a cracking verb.

And as I was picking me teeth out of the gutter St Peter hisself appeared to me and said, "Sean, you wanker" he said.

Yeah Bramble, the only problem is you are still following them! Was that a wiff of Impulse I just got from our living room? I think it was!!

One thing they left out - the dewberry bodyshop line! now that MUST have been up there with vanilla and white musk!

Good grief. I need to go and lie down... especially on being reminded that I ever wore plastic dummies as necklaces. I think that the 'Take That' phenomenon is noticably absent from the list.

Oh my good god - I remember pretty much all of those far too clearly! Snapper bracelets are awesome - got one in a club in Leeds last year and was taken right back to the days of my childhood. 'Clarissa' is still, in my mind at least, one of the best shows ever created. Who could forget her bizarre fashion sense, neighbour Sam *guitar twang*, Fergus and uber-cool see-through phone.

Oh - does anyone remember Trev and Simon "We don't do duvets!" I remember when all the girls in my year at primary school simultaneously discovered Impulse - the gym stank like Vanilla Secret for weeks! The smell of Oxygen still makes me want to hurl though. And don't forget about the fourth Body Shop fragrance - the exotically named Ananya. I can't believe they still sell all those - they're so awful! Oh - black leggings with massive jumpers! Slinkies! In-line skates! I could go on for hours...

Ah, memories...

Ha, thanks for that, quite a trip down memory boulevard.

I loved Clarissa- especially the theme tune.

And i still have olfactory nightmares about the stench of twenty different cheap sprays in the changing rooms after P.E.

One thing it didn't mention was Gordon the Gopher. He had a vital role to play in my childhood. Damn Philip Schofield from trying to distance himself from the person who made him famous.

I maybe get 10 out of those. Does that indicate I spent my childhood on a different planet?

A lot of them felt particularly 80s to me too. Guess it does say if you were a teenager in the 90s tho...
