The 90s

Post by Long slender neck »

Seems to be having a bit of a comeback.

I'm looking forward to Gladiators tomorrow night.

What are you looking forward to, or dreading?

Kids being able to gain meaningful employment without a university degree and £ks of debt and, after saving for just a few years, being able to buy their first home on just a 25-year mortgage.

^and, on a similar tip, if you opted for an "Italian" instead, Pizza Hut used to dim the lights at 8.00pm to help make things a bit romantic.

There was a good period on the 90s when you could buy a half decent property at a decent interest rate and it all worked out in the buyers favour as they were on the rise. Would be nice if that situation arose again.

Buying a car for £200 that, with the aid of a Haynes manual and tool kit you got for your 18th birthday, you could maintain as roadworthy all by yourself.

2023 was the year of the best gigs blur ever did, so in that sense it was the best year of the 90s

I think the misunderstanding here is that one of you is referring to the thread as being about stuff from the nineties that’s having a bit of a moment again, and the other is referring to the fact that pop culture is looking to the 90s for inspiration

He said "looking forward to or dreading". I note none of us has specified which.

I'm assuming that they're going to make some new shows with some new scantily clad Gladiators, not just re-run the old ones with Wolf, Hunter and Shadow?
