[loveallthingsitalian]

[Julius]

20 years ago I was at junior school in Hove. I used to love watching MTV, riding my bike and listening to the radio. It's funny because in many ways I haven't changed that much. I suppose I have matured somewhat in adulthood but I am much the same person and still like the same things. I used to LOVE this video

Such a great song and a great singer. I liked him very much. I also liked Sade.

[Brissles]

Twenty years ago ........

I made phone calls from a landline only
I sent mail via a postbox only
My eyes were corrected by spectacles, not laser
My computer had a blue screen with white text
I took photographs with a camera only
My 'meal' in a pub was a packet of nuts, porch scratchings or crisps
I only had Baileys at Christmas
I only had a video player
Everyone wore Youth Dew, Poison and Anais Anais ! (except me)
Smoking was still allowed at work.

and I was only 44, a lot slimmer and certainly without the curly perm that JR appeared to have sported at that time !!!!

[Akimbo]

20 years ago I was just divorced and planning (in less than 6 weeks from proposal to walking down the aisle) my wedding to the current Mr Akimbo in November 1993. My favourite memory was telling people at work I was remarrying and better yet who I was marrying as we'd managed to keep us a secret until my decree absolute came through. The look on *Fat Carol's face was a picture and all her horrible bitching couldn't touch me in that moment. Small-minded but wonderful!

*Sorry for this nick-name being sizist but the other epithets used in the office I wouldn't use in polite company; she was a nasty piece of work!

I was making bad decisions which I am still living with to this day.

Yes had that crime of a hairdo myself but surely it was at least a decade earlier?

I remember Poison perfume by Christian Dior. It came in a purple bottle and was a very distinctive, heavy frangrance. My mother had a friend called Monica Mary Mander (she was a bit weird and had all her clothes monogrammed "MMM") and this woman absolutely reeked of Poison. She used to have a dog called Comfort. She would call out to her: Come, come, come, come comfy! Even as a child I was quite sarcastic and I said to her: "did you name your dog after a bottle of fabric conditioner?" She wasn't terribly impressed!

That's a funny story Julius.

Possibly, but QVC keep showing the trailer with old JR with that fuzzy hair do when she first started, and THAT as we all know is 20 years ago !!!

20 years ago just now I was still at school and my health issues had just started.....little did I know they would still be going on now!

 

[Sydney Starlett]

I wasn't making any real money as a model but as luck would have it I ran into George Clooney at some party ................ oh hold on that was Lisa Snowdon

I was just re-couperating from my third facelift ........................ no wait that was Lulu

20 years ago I was actually a moody teenager annoying my poor mother x

 

[nicnac]

20 years ago i would have been sending my youngest son off to his first day at school. He couldn't wait to go and join his brothers, i cried all the way home!

 

[ERICS MUM]

1993 was a very eventful year for me, I'm still waiting for my next one !

My office building was bombed by the IRA in April, I sold my house in May, had an offer accepted on my next house in July, spent Nov in Oz and moved into new house in Dec.

 

[srhgts]

I was in primary school. In September I believe I had both chicken pox and the first of many bouts of tonsillitis, that's all that comes to mind.
