I was under two months old then, no memories for me. But at least I can say I am a chlid of the 80's. It seems really funny to think I existed in the 80's, can't get my head round it, ha!

I remember the border crossing opening in, I think, Hungary and lots of folks driving into Austria. I was amazed. I can recall thinking, "this looks interesting, I wonder when the Soviets will send the tanks in!"
Then a few weeks later the Belin wall was ripped down. I was still expecting the guards to open fire but they didn't. History in the making.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

Neither can I. Whenever I see the bricks of plastic of those days considered “hi-tech” I can't help but shake my head in disbelief: did I live through all that?Originally Posted by Rhyfelwyr

Heh, the thing that gets me is seeing those 80's songs on TV, then realising I was around when they were in the charts.
That, and looking at a map, and seeing the USSR. By the time I was about 8 I was fascinated with maps and was very familiar with the post Cold-War looking world, seems bizarre to think the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was around when I was...

Oh my days, I just looked up what song was top of the charts when I was born, and it's Ride on Time, even I know that one!
