I’m off out, I’ve got a carton of Um bongo and some opal fruits. I’ve got a wham tape in my Walkman and I’m wearing leg warmers and my best ra ra skirt.
Who’s coming and what are you bringing ?

Meet you round the back of the swings, I’ve got 20 B&H

20! You're rich, I'd buy 10 between 4 of us 😂

Pastlast · 26/06/2025 18:34

I’m bringing some 20/20 and wearing a crushed velvet jacket from a charity shop and some combats from the army surplus store.

Shimmyshimmycocobop · 26/06/2025 18:34

I'm bringing my bottle of Concord (£1.49) and wearing my fluorescent baggy tshirt, matching socks black leggings and big black belt. Make up wise lots of blue eyeliner and Miss Selfridge Iron Lady lipstick.

Hanovercrosse · 26/06/2025 18:36

Might put my perm up in a banana clip

Can't decide between my Brutus Gold jeans and my white rolled up dungarees. Hmm.
But I'll bring a bottle of Concorde my Mum left in the cupboard and 20 Silk Cut.

Stuckinthenineties · 26/06/2025 18:37

I've got a bottle of Chinzano, a can of coke to mix and some concord, oh yeah and some Malborough menthol. Meet you by the swings.

Screamingabdabz · 26/06/2025 18:37

I’m a 90s grudge Gen X-er, so I will be listening to angry girl music, dressed in all black and scowling at you lot in your ra ra skirts. I will be deeply jealous that you’re all having fun swigging the diamond whites and smoking camels, but I will maintain my aloofness because I’m cool.

You're the only person I know who's ever heard of Concord wine 😂

Stuckinthenineties · 26/06/2025 18:38

Oh looks like everyone likes Concord, the peach one is particularly nice...

SabreIsMyFave · 26/06/2025 18:39

I'll be along later... With some Babycham - and some cherry b and cider.

I'm on my CB radio at the moment. ('Whats your 20?') Grin

notsochattysue · 26/06/2025 18:39

Could we pool our confirmation money and buy a bottle of Rumpleminze. My mates big sister will get it if we don’t tell her mum she had her boyfriend in her room last night. Mind you I think there is a poster of Aha in “Jackie” this week so I need money for that and a bag of cola pips.

Brenda34 · 26/06/2025 18:41

If I feel swanky I'll bring 10 Sobraine. Black with gold filters if we're having peach Concord

NFItheawkardness · 26/06/2025 18:42

OMG! Im in!
Heather shimmer but lips over lined in beige! Some bourjois blusher and urban decay space cowboy eyeshadow.
mid 90s : denim hot pant cutoffs with black tights and dm boots, Kurt Cobain style cardi and huffy pained expression. Nirvana and pixies.
late 90s: kookai/benetton/morgan, strappy sandals and house music baby
turn of the century: baggy pants trainers and teeny vest, thinking I was street but more like wannabe allsaints. Drum’n’bass for the win.
tinted moisturiser mousse, fake juicy tubes, tiny Nokia!

NFItheawkardness · 26/06/2025 18:43

Pretending to want a peach schnapps and lemonade (on permanent offer in the dodgy club) but really want in on that 2l of diamond white!

strawlight · 26/06/2025 18:44

I saw someone’s got Taboo so I’ll grab the Mirage from my gran’s booze cupboard. Also got some Sobranies so we can look super sophisticated, and a pile of 10p coins so we can use the phone box when we’re done dancing.

My mum bought me a ra ra skirt. Day one I went out on my Raleigh 14 wearing it and got it caught in the chain, ripped to shreds. She was not best pleased.

AgnesX · 26/06/2025 18:46

Tana433 · 26/06/2025 18:11

Well i'll go mad and contribute a bottle of Lambrini and a 3l bottle of Diamond White.

I've never been so ill than the day after sharing a litre bottle of Diamond White...or it might have been White Lightning. Either way never again 🤮

Menopants · 26/06/2025 18:47

I’m wearing body shop dewberry and borrowing the heather shimmer lipstick. I have hair sprayed my fringe artfully into the shape of a fan

Hanovercrosse · 26/06/2025 18:50

My hair looks well nice, also pinched the curtain rings to use as earrings. Gary will deffo fancy me !

I’m in — bringing my Charlie Red, a packet of Transform-a-Snacks, and my mum said I could have a quid for the arcade if I’m back before Neighbours. And, a marathon, not a snickers
