Nostalgic 90s teen ....

[ButIWantedToBeYourValentine]

Just remembered 999 with Michael Burke. Gave me a lifelong fear of swimming after seeing an episode where a girl's hit got caught in a fan in the pool!

Impulse 02 gassing everyone.

Snatch the dog everything especially bedding!

Swimming badges sewn onto costumes. Found a cossie in a charity shop for 20p with 1000mt sewn on it which deluded everyone in my Y6 swimming class - I couldn't swim 1000mt 😂

Anymore?

Pics

*girls hair!

I remember that episode, I was equally terrified. I also will never go potholing after the episode where a guy got stuck in one and if my frisbee ever gets stuck up an electricity pylon then it can stay there thanks to the government safety advert!

I remember the magazines! Mizz, Just Seventeen and then later Sugar and Bliss. Also, those canvas lace up shoes with a rubber heel and denim miniskirts with buttons down the front!

The music was brilliant too, there's a fantastic thread on 90's music:

I remember the girl getting her hair stuck in jacuzzi. Also the one where the javelin went through the boys neck.

Police camera action was one I remember. They spent a lot of time over Blackbird Leys which was sort of local.

Dms all year round. My dds are now obsessed with 90s fashion!
Watching peak practice and discussing it the next day.

999 lifesavers has always terrified me
Of using a knife to separate frozen burgers. A girl did it and obvs stuck it right through her hand.

Watching heartbeat on a Sunday evening after a bath (ready for school the next day)

Not sure if it was shown anywhere else than Scotland, take the high road.

It made luss famous 😂

Bloody hell the frozen burger episode has brought it all back 😂
Heartbeat theme tune on a Sunday night was depression inducing , knowing school was looming the next day.
Always had tuna and salad cream sandwiches for Sunday supper too

Those addidas tracksuit bottoms with either just the three poppers at ankle height, or if you were brave enough the ones that went all the way up your leg.

I only owned the ones with three but great fun was had with mates that owned ones that went all the way up

The Bill.
Heartbreak High.
Browsing Athena for posters.
Mindless consumerism at the shopping mall in C&A then Pilot, Bay Trading, Dolcis, Faith.
Listening to CDs on headphones in Our Price, then HMV.

Skiving school to watch Saved by the Bell.
Shockwaves hair mousse.
Boots Natural Collection shower gel, scrub and soaps in bright jewel colours.
Blur vs Oasis saga.
'My so called life' about 6pm weeknights.
Those huge plastic rings and black cord necklaces.

Anyone remember sunset beach?

Radio One Roadshows every summer (there used to be one near me every year)

Smash Hits magazine every other Wednesday - was so happy when I got a letter printed!

Paddington Hats (like Blossom wore), Caterpillar boots, strappy flower print summer dresses layed with white t-shirts underneath

@ChilliChaos I wagged school all the time to stay home and watch the Sunset Beach cliffhangers . Especially the Meg/ Derek/ Ben saga. Literally couldn't sleep for thinking about what would happen next 😂

I remember 999 with Michael Burke!
I used to really worry about the situations in it and yet I couldn't not watch it
I used to always say to my mum when she put me to bed will this happen or what if that happens and she always used to be like I don't
Know why you watch it!

The 999 story about the girl getting her hair caught in the pool is the one that I've always remembered.

Yes to Snatch, I had cuddly toys, bedding and I think even Snatch slippers!

Making your own ripped and distressed jeans.
Getting into places easily without id or with really bad fakes.
The fresh prince of bel air, the crystal maze and reruns of prisoner cell block h.
Taboo and lemonade, tia Maria and coke.

My So Called Life - Jordan Catalano

Global hyper colour t shirts!! Nirvana, bootcut jeans, chokers, Morgan t shirts, Hooch, Reef, smoking in pubs, Lauren Hill, chunky boots, Spice Girls, Body Shop pink grapefruit everything and Miss Selfridge. Happy days

I still get Michael Burke's voice in my head if I'm doing something that might be remotely dangerous. Still terrified of falling into water in a car.

Early 90s was a trip to town for some Superdrug mega hold mega can of hairspray. Browse Topshop, Snob, Tammy Girl and C&A.

Yes to browsing Athena for posters. Admiring the man with baby merchandise.

Also just remembered everyone at college walked around with pagers on

I don’t remember the dog, but Jesus Christ do I remember the hair/fan/pool terror.

Noel’s House party and watching with the Argos catalogue circling what I’d buy with all the money from the cash grabber. I think the night before was Roseanne and Red Dwarf....ahhh the fun.

Skip-its. Sorry to everyone at my school for getting them banned by recreating with a big elastic band and a tennis ball and consequently injuring myself.

Wow I had that bedding!
I had totally forgotten till I seen this 😆
Thanks for the throwback lol

I loved 999!
Alcopops.
Dance music.
The best decadw for r&b/hip hop.
