I actually stole this off a friend's Xanga, but it made me feel SO nostalgic that I simply had to share.

ANYBODY UNDER THE AGE OF 13 SHOULD NOT RE-POST THIS.
JUST CAUSE YOU WERE BORN IN '93' OR '94' DOES NOT MEAN
YOU ARE A 90s KID.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU COULD REMEMBER SOME OF THE ORIGINAL SIMPSONS.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A BRITISH 90s KID IF...

YOU CAN SING THE RAP TO "THE FRESH PRINCE OF BELL AIR" - Yep, but I learned that when I was a teenager!

YOU'VE WORN LEGGINGS AND FELT COOL - I *was* cool, dammit!!

YOU USED TO LOVE PLAYING WITH YOUR "PUPPY IN MY POCKETS"

YOU REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY WORTH GETTING UP ON A SATURDAY MORNING TO WATCH LIVE & KICKING OR SM:TV.

YOU HAD A HUGE FRINGE AT SOME POINT IN YOUR CHILDHOOD. - I have photo evidence

YOU REMEMBER READING AND WATCHING "GOOSEBUMPS" - they were actually dreadful, but it was light entertainment

YOU TOOK PLASTIC CARTOON LUNCH BOXES TO SCHOOL - 101 Dalmatians. Mine kept popping open, though.

YOU KNOW THE WORDS FROM THE SHAKEY JAKE MILKSHAKE ADVERTS - Wibble Wobble Yum Yum.

YOU REMEMBER THE CRAZE OF YO-YOS AND TAMAGOTCHI'S - *winces* Ohhh yes.

YOU STILL GET THE URGE TO SAY "NOT" AFTER EVERY SENTENCE.

NOT. - Squee!

YOU KNEW THAT KIMBERLY, THE PINK RANGER, AND TOMMY, THE GREEN RANGER WERE MEANT TO BE.

YOU COLLECTED POKEMON CARDS. - I let my brother do that one.

YOU PLAYED AND/OR COLLECTED POGS. - I gave up. I was a useless POG player and I couldn't afford more.

YOU HAD A WEIRD ALIEN THAT LIVED IN GOOEY STUFF IN A PLASTIC 'POD' AND THOUGHT IF YOU STUCK 2 BACK TO BACK THEY WOULD HAVE A BABY! - I did try.

YOU WATCHED THE ORIGINAL POSTMAN PAT, FIREMAN SAM AND NINJA TURTLES. - I wanted to *be* Donatello!

YIKES PENCILS WERE THE BEST!-WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM? - those were the days...

YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE NEW BEANIE BABIES WERE ALWAYS SOLD OUT - *cringes*

YOU GOT YOUR MUM TO BUY 'BN' BISCUITS. - *hums their jingle*

YOU USED TO WEAR THOSE STICK ON EARRINGS, NOT ONLY ON YOUR EARS BUT AT THE CORNERS OF YOUR EYES.

YOU KNOW THE MACERENA BY HEART.

"TALK TO THE HAND".

YOU REMEMBER THE TIME BEFORE LITERACY AND NUMERACY HOUR EXISTED. - damn right! I'm proud of it!

YOU THOUGHT BRAIN FROM "PINKEY AND THE BRAIN" WOULD FINALLY TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

YOU REMEMBER BUM BAGS. - I totally had one. It was "Forever Friends" - is that another 90s kid thing?

YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ON FUN HOUSE

YOU COLLECTED TAZOS. - well, the cool kids did...

2 WORDS,
SPICE GIRLS.

RE-POST THIS IF YOU ARE A BRITISH 90s KID AND CAN RELATE TO ANY OF THESE
(Or don't! I'm sure LJ doesn't need every 90s kid to repost this...)


Am up early - riding is at 11 cos they finish at lunchtime on Good Friday, so we've booked a morning lesson. Need to finish this tea and get my jodphurs on...

I'm with you on that. I didn't recognize/understand 95% of it. Now ask me about growing up in the 50's, or being a hippie in the 60's, then I'm your slayer. Hmmmm...it probably would have made a difference if I wasn't a Yank, too. Ya think? Image

Interesting anyway, even though I am clueless. Image

From my side of the pond to yours, have a safe and blessed Good Friday, Eni.

I still look for Yikes!pencils - just in case!

And ohhh fun house! Suddenly I miss that!

Do you remember gear boxes? Those were really 90's too... I had a shiny purple one...

ROFL. I was sort of late to the nineties, but then I was behind all the trends back then :)

SPICE GIRLS

Tell me what you want, what you really, really want!

Oh, I remember most of those things!! My kids did all this!

My son has a huge POG collection still... anybody wants it? :-D

What in the world is litteracy and numeracy hour??

Oh, it's this bizarre government initiative to improve children's literacy and numeracy - the statistics seem to show it's caused a bit of an improvement but not much, as far as I recall. As I understand it, it decrees that kids of a certain age have to spend one hour a day working on basic literacy and numeracy skills. I never fell victim to it myself, so I'm not an expert!

It's a response to employers moaning that all the young people they were taking on were incapable of spelling, punctuating and adding up!
