Friday evenings from 7 on Absolute 80s.
The Atari tennis game, Ghosts n’ Goblins on the Commodore 64, Matchbox cars that were made in England, Airfix Spitfires on threads attached to the ceiling, an Inter City 125 train set, finding a grass snake in my friend Andrew's shed, both of us running out thinking it was an adder. Me and five of my cousins in the back seat of my Aunt's two door Datsun going to the seaside. Our primary school having an adventure playground with climbing ropes attached to trees, and the headmaster keeping Bees in the school field (No one died). Crying when my Grandpa died. Gary Mabbutt's own goal in the ‘87 FA Cup Final, Zammo smoking heroin in Grange Hill. Thinking that the grown up kids looked cool in their 'Frankie Says' t-shirts, asking my next door neighbour if I could have my ball back, me and Simon being made to apologise to the newsagent for stealing Panini football stickers, and pay him back, and hand the stickers back. Building a bonfire with my cousin Richard. Seeing what happens when you put aerosols on it. Having to send one of my toys to the miners' children. Not being allowed to send a broken one. Swimming away from Jellyfish in the Med while on holiday in Italy, swimming out further than I was allowed to. Not drowning. Scout badges, Duke of Edinburgh award camping, the French lesson where all we had to do was listen to 'Voyage Voyage'. Kenny Everett on the radio (and TV), Daleks, A Team, Airwolf, and Metal Mickey. Angel Delight, Golden Wonder crisps, Hedgehog crisps. More fun than I can possibly remember.
I'm on with 4 hours of 80s classics to get you in the mood for the weekend, every Friday night from 7. You can provide your own memories.
