Started an apprenticeship at 16 in '88.
Discovered cars/beer/women/money. Was fortunate enough to experience probably THE biggest explosion in music since the 50's/60's too, the appearance of house music. Fantastic times. And people said it wouldn't last.

Bought my first car, a Mk.2 Escort 1.1 POP PLUS

92 onwards was when i was in my prime, just going into first year ready to cause havoc, usual stuff drinking cider smoking single skinner joints thinking i was a ticket, dreaming of owning my old mans mk1 rs 2000, usualy had a sling shot in my back pocket too, altho my mum always found it and burned it in our coal fire and made me watch every time, generaly not giving a shit about leaving school or working until i had to sit my exams, luckly altho i was a terror i still had a decent brain ( dont no why ) and did ok , BY FAR the best time of my life, and altho i caused alot of grief i dont regret any of it as im a far better person now, WOW I LOVED IT BACK THEN, dont get that any more, kids are too busy taking crack and trying to rob old grannys, long live the 80`s and 90`s (in our minds anyway)

Man in 88 I was 6.... So I was probably in infant/junior school?!?!?!? In that case I was probably listening to Michael Jackson, playing with Action Men and watching cartoons

What was I doing in the late 80's and early 90's? Pretty much the above Started secondary school in 1993, so shortly after that I was learning to smoke, drink, and convince your parents you were drunk, and it was "the older boys" that was the reason you stank of cigarettes
