So true about 80's music (check out Synthecide by SSQ, ultimate 80's sound)

It took us until well into the 90's to get a microwave but we did have a VHS recorder in the 80's. A top loader of course, which would launch something into the ceiling when eject was pressed (should we have inadvertantly placed something on it).

How did you manage with setting the timer?

I got quite adept at it after a few weeks.

Around 1980/81 is when rock music really hit the mainstream and not just for headbangers. Also home computing in the uk thanks to Sinclair.

Great choice. Marc Almond has a an amazing voice.

There's one I mentioned earlier which I never heard back in the day. It's only been a few years since I first discovered it.

SSQ - Synthecide.

It sounds soooo 80s.

Whichever you chose, much thought had to be excersised before you broke off the little plastic tab, otherwise you'd find yourself in sicky tape land.

"Space dust.

Was that the stuff that popped in your mouth?

And some where else."

I decided to get creative one night with some space dust and go down on my partner with a mouthful of the stuff.

Let’s just say it was a sticky ending but not the one he was hoping for!

I'd worry about getting some stray space dust inside you.

It might be a pleasant sensation but I have a feeling it would be the opposite.

No devices, few toys, plenty of outdoors time and using our imagination. Loved being kid in the 80s.

That sticky mess wasn’t going anywhere near me. Had to be showered off and play was cut short.

Not my best/most erotic idea ever!
