i'm a 90's kid and never done any of them!
omg! :eek: you never did any of them, not even one?
I'm a 90's kid, born in 1991 actually! And i did/had most of them
specially the fresh prince of bel air theme!
'i walked up to house about 7 or 8 and i yelled to the cabbi go home smell ya later, looked at my kingdom i was finally there to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air'
:lol:
~charlie-lou~
13-01-2006, 00:22
Ooooh, there are a lot of us born in 1991 who did most of them! He he, know I did! The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is particularly nostalgic for me and my sisters. In 2001/2002, when I was 10/11 I used to watch it, and my sisters where only 7 or so and weren't allowed to as the parents deemed it to old for them, so they always asked me to sneak them into the living room to watch it. I used to laugh at them when they got the lyrics of the rap wrong! Aaah, good times! Life was so much easier then! :(
Another weird thing is that Willow on SB is nearly 30, if you think about it, and some of us are only kids, and yet some of our generation overlaps. Tis weird.
I remember all of them - who remembers the C64 and the Sinclair Spectrum and thinking they were the coolest computers going!! :rotfl:
I remember all of them - who remembers the C64 and the Sinclair Spectrum and thinking they were the coolest computers going!! :rotfl:

me... hahahaI used to love going over my grandparents house of a Sunday, just so my brother and I could play on their "cool" computer. And then there was our betamax video! Ahh the memories :rotfl:
I was a 90s kid and did about half of them things!

~charlie-lou~
13-01-2006, 15:30
Yes, I remember Tigs!! And those Dip Dab lollipops. They still do those! I remember in 1998 my best friend at the time Grace and I walked to the corner shop near her house in the cold and the rain just to get those liquorice straws with all the sherbet. We were only 7! Aaah, the memories! This is fast turning into a nostalgia thread! :D
i did all of them i. Was very nearly a 90s kid. 1989 to be precise. I watched saved by the bell last night on nickelodeon, how weird.
Angeltigger
13-01-2006, 15:34
yeah- my sister went to the shop and found all the things we used to have when we were little- now they are abit to sugarer

17-01-2006, 13:01
Well, considering I was in my 20s (born 1970) in the 90s (Oh, happy days!) I still managed to do quite a lot of them, although my memories of the 90s were more to do with being a student and drinking too much.
And I can remember Fresh Prince when it was on originally in about 1991

17-01-2006, 16:49
I was born in 1991 and did nearly all of them I especially remember the pogs craze and live and kicking on saturday mornings

Continuing from the latest and last thread which was here: http://www.soapboards.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=57069
I remember the tamgothi things.. they used to really annoy me as mine used to die at night :rotfl:.. They are making a come back now as my sister got version 3 and my brother got version 2.. he's to young but it was my sister's old one.. so she gave it to him.
I now look at them and think.. how on earth do you do that?! :rotfl: + To think I used to have one myself..
di marco
14-06-2006, 11:48
i did all of these:
You know you're a British 90s kid if...
- You've worn leggings and felt cool.
- You used to love playing with your "puppy in my pockets"
i had puppy in my pocket, kitty in my pocket and there were some other ones as well i think
- You remember when it was actually worth getting up on a Saturday
morning to watch live & kicking or sm:tv.
i loved l&k but smtv was the best, it rocked! it went downhill though after ant, dec and cat left, do you remember chums on it and eat my goal, it was a brilliant saturday morning show, unlike the rubbish thats on now!
- You remember reading and watching "goosebumps"
yep i had loads of goosebumps books, i liked the ones that you could choose the ending for, and i watched the tv show, the only one that scared me was "the scarecrow walks at midnight" that one even scared my mum lol!
- You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.
yep i had a red 101 dalmations one!
- You know the words from the shakey jake milkshake adverts
*sings* "im shakey jake, wibble wobble wibble wobble, im a real milkshake, wibble wobble wibble wobble, for godness sake shake jake!" that wasnt that long ago was it?!
- You remember the craze of yo-yos and tamagotchi's
yoyos, i had loads of them, i could do a few tricks, like the cradle one, round the world and walking the dog, but couldnt do much else! i was never allowed a tamagotchi, my mum wouldnt let me have one! :( though i stole my cousins a few years later so it looked like id had one lol!
- You still get the urge to say "not" after every sentence....not.
haha i did that all the time, and also said "never" in like a really sarky voice lol!
- You played and/or collected pogs.
we played pogs every breaktime, again, i wasnt allowed to buy many of them :( but me and my friends used to make our own as well lol!
- 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 had 3 of them, 2 came in the same pod and one came separately, i remember being really pleased when i got them in my stocking at xmas! i never really tried to make them have a baby lol! i never understood how it would work! and while on the subject on getting things in stockings, does anyone remember fart gunk? lol! my dad bought us some of that for xmas, i thought it was great at the time!
- You watched the original postman pat, fireman sam and ninja turtles.
i watched them but never liked them
- Yikes pencils were the best!-what happened to them?
- You remember when the new beanie babies were always sold out
i had a few beanie babies but not many, i have a snail, a spotty dog, the rabbit one (for the chinese new year you were born in) and a few others, do they still sell them now?
- You used to wear those stick on earrings, not only on your ears but at the
corners of your eyes
yep i had those, i thought i looked really cool and grown up when i put them at the corners of my eyes lol!
- You know the macerena by heart.
doesnt everyone know the macarena? even if they wont admit it lol!
- "talk to the hand" enough said.
yep i did that too, and "talk to the elbow cos youre not worth the extension" haha!
- You remember the time before literacy and numeracy hour existed.
yep i dont think i ever had literacy and numeracy hour? actually i might have done in year 6
- You thought brain from "pinkey and the brain" would finally take over the
world
- You remember bum bags.
yep i had 2, one was from legoland! i used to wear them when i went on holiday with my pocket money in!
- You always wanted to be on fun house!
omg that was a brilliant gameshow! it was really cool, and i always wanted to go on there, and play the gokart game and go in the fun house at the end!
- You collected tazos.
- 2 words, spice girls.
i remember the spice girls being really big, especially when i was in year 4, people had different coloured puffa jackets that said spice girls on the back, and the spice girl photos you could collect and people swapped them to try and get them all, i remember one girl in the year below me managed to get all of them and everyone was so excited about it lol! though i didnt really like the spice girls (i think i was like the only girl that didnt!). oh and there was spice girl choccie bars, cos when my sis was in hospital, my uncle bought some for us!
oh i didnt add the power rangers thing on there cos i remember them but i didnt really watch it

di marco
14-06-2006, 12:06
Lol my mate came up with a classic one lastnight them book tokens on back of crisps...come on own up how many volenteered to cut them out just so you didnt have to go out to break :rotfl:
lol! i remember them, on the back of walkers crisps and your school could get books with them! i hated cutting them out, i much prefered to go out to play! another thing we had to take it in turns to do at lunchtime (which i hated) was water the plants in the classroom and sharpen the colouring pencils, i always got blisters on my hands after that! :(

We got told bulldog was dangerous :eek: :rolleyes:
Remind me of redrover again...:cool:
yeh we were told bulldog was dangerous but we were allowed to play it as long as we didnt play in big groups (which was then pretty pointless lol!) redrover was where you had 2 teams facing each other and you held hands and stood in a long line, the first team shouted "redrover, redrover, we want (persons name) over" then that person had to run from their line to the other line and try and break their way through the joined up hands, if they did then they went back to their team, if they didnt they had to go to the opposite team. we were told it was dangerous cos people (mostly the boys) used to try and dive over peoples hands onto the concrete lol!
They forgot Betty Spagetti, best doll I ever had :p
