Might I be correct in thinking that you procured your jeanwear from either Black Benny on the market, or from Talibs, Kebab? I have absolutely no recollection of anything even vaguely similar.

Nah, such was the demand of these jeans I got mine from that bastion of shopping in Chez Owd Mam Kebab, the catalogue. £1.30 for 30 weeks, they were. Very popular at raves, they were. Just like the aforementioned Global Hypercolour t-shirts and white Joe Bloggs long sleeved tops.

No, not the DIY store that used to be on Great Moor Street but things that were massive in the 90s for about five minutes each. A golden age of one-off nonsense that we all wanted a piece of...Not me of course - I'm far too sophisticated for that sort of crap but the rest of you did.
I'll start the ball rolling with:
Beavis and Butt-head.
'Saturday Night' by Whigfield.
The GameBoy colour.
Those confusing all-in-one vest things that women wore that fastened on the snatch with a couple of press studs.
Tracy Island.
The Hitman and Her.
Girl Power.
"yoof" TV.
Tamagotchi.

Any more for any more?

My girlfriend has several Tamagotchi's. New ones.

And I still rather like Beavis and Butt-head, in a turn my brain off-waste time-tv kind of a way.

Nirvana

Metallica's Black Album

The Wildhearts

Terrorvision

Pearl Jam

Soundgarden

Iconic sounds for a fantastic decade. Suddenly it was cool to like rock music again and wear black canvas jeans tucked into cowboy boots like it never went out of fashion. The early nineties was the favourite time of my life so far, in terms of selfish endeavour.

That'd be a hell of a gig

The nineties. Ten years spent wondering if the world of computers was about to end. Ten years of collecting fireworks for one hour of madness..

i THINK, it was Douglas Adams, when talking about the millenium bug, who said, "Computer people are the last to guess what's coming next. I mean, come on, they're so astonished by the fact that the year 1999 is going to be followed by the year 2000 that it's costing us billions to prepare for it"

Im drinking so this counts as an AA meeting, only my confession is music based. I somehow, despite my punk obsession, allowed everything i bastard do (as i think Commie will find is its official title) to become me n the missus' song.

"I understand the idea, that A.D.D. is an imbalance,
'depression', that is an imbalance of chemicals, it makes sense.
But couldn't argue that everything is? Joy, fear, anger sadness?
Can you diagnose love? Can you diagnose loss?
See, we find these ways to justify it all, but is it really working?"
