Child Of The 1980's

With the news that George Michael’s Faith is to be remastered and reissued later this month, it got me thinking about his earlier days as part of Wham! and just how many highly memorable songs he has been involved with.

Whether you love or hate Wham!, chances are you probably could sing along or at least hum many of their songs, so this week I’m asking you what your favourite Wham! song is.

So, earlier this week I wrote about the classic board game Operation, which is one of those games that I feel sure most people must have played at some point in their life, whether they were any good at it or not!

So, whether you owned it or not, if you were a super surgeon or less skilled than Dr. Nick Riviera, I want to know if you’ve ever played Operation at any time in your life, even if it was just once…

Leg Warmers were all the rage for a time during the 80s, and I believe they seem to be having a small renaissance at the moment, so this week I want you to let us all know if you owned a pair of these socks with no feet.

Probably one more for the girls this week, but I guess there might be a few lads out there who might answer “Yes”.

I’m sure most people are partial to a glass of fizzy pop every now and again, be it the ever popular cola, the simple but refreshing lemonade or the down right confusingly named Iron Brew.

With the news that the fizzy drink making machine SodaStream is going through a bit of a relaunch, this weeks survey aims to find out what your favourite flavour of carbonated beverage is.

And whilst we’re at it, lets remember those fizzy drinks no longer with us, such as Quatro, Tab (the clear cola), Corona (every bubble has passed its fizzical) and Cresta (It’s Frothy Man).

Who doesn’t love The Muppet Show? It was one of those shows that people still fondly and vividly remember today, thirty years or more after it first aired. But who was your favourite Muppet?

I’ve started this weeks survey off with just three options, but please add your own as there are far too many for me to list without missing out somebodies favourite.

So as not too disappoint my mate Phil, here’s this week’s survey!

Earlier this week I wrote about the good old “funny” comic book – you know the ones, printed on newspaper in just two colours (normally black and red, just like a tabloid!) and containing stories that were quite often about naughty kids or animals getting up to mischief.

I’ve started the survey off with all the comics I can remember off the top of my head, but if I’ve missed your favourite, you can add it on the bottom!

I wrote this week about the Cabbage Patch Kid Koosa dolls, which were sort of like pets for the proper human like Cabbage Patch Kid dolls, so to keep loosely with the theme this weeks survey is to find out whether or not you had (or wanted) a Cabbage Patch Kid.

Inspector Gadget was loaded up with a great many weird, wacky but also useful gadgets, but which of them would you most like to have for yourself?

I’ve picked out the ones which I remember most from the series (which I think were probably also the ones most often used) since there are far far too many to list the entire lot. Vote away!
