to think that 1996 was NOT 18 years ago!

[Bogeyface]

It cant be!

Watching the Adam and Joe show on the Sky thingy, and everything on there, including the show itself, is only a few years old.

Please tell me it is, otherwise I am watching a program that I watched as an adult but is almost 20 years old.

Oh and 1984 was only 5 minutes before that, because if it isnt then I am officially old and my record collection is laughable!

What is this "year 10" of which you speak?

Surely you mean "fifth year"? :o

I left in 1990 and I was in the lower VIth, we all wore Heather Shimmer (its a stayer!) and some wore Dewberry but most of us wore Impulse Hint of Musk!

YANBU. It cannot be. It cannot be.

It cannot be.

Walk Amnesty!!

We had years 7-11 and then randomly Lower 6th and Upper Sixth. Not sure when it switched to that way of numbering the years - no idea how it works today!

I have a serious case of Rose-tinted 90s High School spectacles now!

Yay! Peter cook and the 'player of the pink oboe'; rowan atkinson in white gloves on darkened stage playing imaginary piano - all like yesterday!

DH (when he was my boyfriend) and I went to Ibiza on a Club 18-30 in 1996.

I am only 25 now, so no way was it 18 years ago!

Not to mention 'will this wind' - cracks me up every time!

I had a reunion with my mates from my PhD. It's apparently 20 years since we matriculated. How the fuck did that happen?

Where the Pythons in that? At least JC, MP and JT iirc!

It's apparently 20 years since we matriculated. How the fuck did that happen?

Dunno, what is matriculation? It could be something you did!

Ive been rewatching Edge of Darkness on BBC Four It was originally broadcast in the run up to Christmas 1985.

But was actually filmed in the summer of 1984 EXACTLY 30 years ago.

I was 12 when I first caught the final 2 episodes in 85 and my dad had to explain the plot to me

Dubstar Not So Manic Now.

It's still 1996, right?

I'm still 2 years old, right?

Im older than the rest of you on here

I was overdue with DD1 who's now in China!
Without me. Sob.

I know. It's bollocks, isn't it? I have a very good friend who lives in America. Yesterday, I worked out how long it is since we met face-to-face.

Seventeen years!

It can't be. We're still only 21, surely!

I left school in 1996 in a cloud of O2 by Impulse (i'd forgotten about that! I was yet to discover Charlie Red or Moons and Stars by Lagerfield ). I think I still have a heather shimmer lipatick somewhere...

*lipstick

I just found a pair of evening shoes that I bought in 1987 and have never worn. Obviously, they can't be 27 years old.

Vintage!

eBay.

Common People was not 20 years ago! It was 18 years ago... that's still a fuck of a long time though eh.

The Time Thieves strike again!!! For the past few new academic years I have a traumatic couple of hours coming to terms with the fact that the children I will be teaching weren't born when we were celebrating the Millennium. We can't be discussing appeasement, you were only born a maximum of four years ago, surely! Surely?

Oh shit.

I went out in 1988 - The next thing I remember it was the year 2000 - My lost decade - but was fucking wicked!!

Bloody hell Hee It must have been good.

Christ was just starting Uni.
Met my good friend who I'm still good mates with and she was my bridesmaid 10 (eek!) years ago.
OK -
Blur vs Oasis
Lime green
doc marten boots with everything (I still have mine! and they still fit!)
that awful layered 'rachel' haircut (had it and it looked totally hideous on me. Never again)
slip dresses with t shirt underneath (Julie Delphy from 'Before Sunrise")
that awful 'mushroom' haircut
Ash and Garbage coming (big deal for lil' old NZ)
Many more I'm sure . . .
