Oh FFS, kids ...

The 80s were tedious the first time around. Can we stop it with the tribute already?

The riots are bad enough, but if they start bringing back poodle perms and blue eyeliner, I'm out of here!

I think everybody doing the rioting are too young to remember what it used to be like before.

To them it's just stealing in front of the police, who can't do anything.

It'll take until somebody gets killed before they all shit themselves and stay at home with their mummies.

I am beginning to contemplating setting a point at which I pack up and get the fuck out of here. The now-canned but at-one-point-imminent Identity Card BS had me contemplating my options, but that was mostly a matter of principle.

This is not exactly just up the road from me, like for a lot of other people, but it's still making me question my commitment to sparklemotion staying here.

OMG YES! There is a radio station in town here that does an all 80s weekend and they say like it something super special. Don't they know that the only thing good about hearing a song from the 80s is the "Wow I haven't heard that in years!" Factor, which is completely lost if it's heard every effing weekend. Worse, they'll play it in regular rotation during the week too. Drives me bananas. /rant

Heyyyyyyyy! *laughs* I was a teen in the 80's, and it was a fun time to grow up. I still love to tune in the 80's station on satellite radio. Heh.

Oh, but I do want to dig out my old Billy Bragg tapes.

If it gets rid of flares, hipster-cut jeans with attendant muffin tops, highly dodgy fluffy hedghog haircuts and pseudo-beehives, and polyester dresses and shirts in industrial green, goose shit yellow and pumpkin orange prints, I'm all for living in the 80s for the rest of my life. Mind you, I reserve the right to point and laugh at shoulder pads, the 80s equivalent to stuffing your bra in my opinion.

How can you malign a decade that gave us Back to the Future, Bros, Wham, corporate hair, poodle perms, pastel power suits, Banarama, The Cure, Mel & Kim, Dynasty, Moonlighting......oh wait. That's why.

Well it's one way to stimulate the economy and have infrastructure projects.

Hm. Your commenters distracted me from the fact that my 80s were always unlike what people now refer to (80s were punk and punk rock and hard core and the best brit pop, now whatever they play now) and oddly enough focus on politics: will the increasingly destructive and only bad-for-the-poor riots end in Cameron's downfall in the end? Or will it just produce better music (see all the anti-thatch greatness)? Doubt it.
