Hi everyone,
Just following on Warren’s current thread on 90’s being retro, I thought it would be fun to start a thread on what we thought was memorable and fun in our day (be it 60’s,70’s 80’s etc).
The 70’s for me was pining over John Travolta, and Eric from the Bay City Rollers, saving up bubble gum cards of ABBA and walking a million miles to get to school (Albion to Windsor) and enjoying a “Fresco” ice block or a bag of mixed lollies (at 1c ea) after. And like every other eight year old kid in ’73, raced home to watch Skippy.
The 80’s for me were much about Princess Di. Those high necked shirts nearly choked me, and of course I had to have a wedding dress like hers too (didn’t I).
Disco’s were discos with massive dance floors, and who could forget the revolving dance floor at Imagers in Brisbane. I loved Australian music which ruled the charts, and I hated that silly Rubiks cube that I could never figure out (anyone get it?).
Not getting Halley's comet in Dad's Tasco 70mm reflector.
And greeting Supernova 1987A.
