I was thinking about a conversation we had in the Den last week where some of the gang were taking a nostalgic walk down memory lane (except for Leanne who came to the sudden realisation that she had a deprived childhood...) and remembering the good ol' 80s.
My favourite 80's cartoon show by a long way was the
Thundercats! I used to totally hero-worship (or should that be heroine-worship?) Cheetara and wanted to be just like her when I grew up (although it's fortunate I didn't or I'd have probably wound up behind bars in London Zoo). I even had a little Cheetara action figure which would have been worth a small fortune now if I had kept it in its plastic rather than battering it to death in make-believe apocalyptic battles and tearing off its head ... oh well...
And, stranger still, some of the other kids and I in primary school formed a little "secret Thundercats gang" or something like that! I was the only girl in it so of course I got to be Cheetara and since I was meant to be the fastest Thundercat, if any of the boys tried to outrun me they ended up in the staffroom face to face with the trusty Dettol and cotton wool. Yup, the 80's sure were violent!!
What did the 80's do for you?

Well!! I am well and truly BAFFLED! I just can't understand how my work PC (running Windoze '93 or 2000, one of those crappy ones anyway) has been sounding like an Airbus A380 for months now (almost a year)...but someone elses' PC (running the same crap as mine) just makes a little churning noise, barely detectable by the human ear I might add, and voíla..... Windows XP appears on her machine. I will not call names as that's not my style *cough...Genki..cough*
