Description
Being an eighties kid.
Let's be honest, being an eighties kid was the best. Playing out because paedophiles hadn't been formally invented yet. Computers couldn't talk to each other. They had to live, silent but next to each other, in places called arcades.
Findus crispy pancakes, Vianetta, or perhaps signore would prefer some Gino Ginelli's Toffee Fooodge?
Playing games on Ceefax. Bagpuss, Finger Mouse, Button Moon. Beat that. Looking at the world through your View Master. Being stressed about acid rain and the hole in the ozone layer (which are both OK now?) Five hours of cartoons on a Saturday morning, most of which were reverse-engineered adverts for plastic toys. 0181 811 8181!
New wave, post punk. Madonna! Taping the radio. The air heady with the commingling scent of Cool Water and Obsession. Though admittedly long term it wasn't a wholly positive thing, smoking was still cool.
Here, in quiz book form, is a celebration of those glorious years. Taking in more than 500 questions across Film, TV, Music, Arts & Culture, Current Affairs, Food and Drink, Games and Toys, Celebrities, Sport, Fashion and Design, Technology, Crazes & Fads, Idioms and Sayings, Books and Magazines and with one Super Dooper Impossibly Hard question per round, there's something for everyone.
And the best thing is, you don't have to have that haircut this time around.
