In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court, for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team!
That's my ring tone!! (thanks Billy )

And nope, all that seems like yesterday even though I'm really old!!

Us lot of the 25 +/- a year or two, something generation, had a really cool sound track to are proper young youth, looking back.....

1994-2000

Oasis - Definately Maybe & Whats the Story Morning Glory, Verve - Bit Sweet Syphony, Prodigy - Jilted Generation & Fat of the Land, Blur - Boys and Girls, Pulp Common people, the beginning of trace before it going samey and boring, tracks like Beach Ball, and Underworld - Born Slippy, Guns n Roses as well I suppose in the school days.

....Brilliant!

I was thinking about this whilst I was out just now and thought of a couple of things that make me feel old:

1. I hold doors open for people and they look at me like my carer forgot to take me back to the sunshine bus
2. I talk to people at the checkouts in supermarkets and often in the aisles too
3. I see 16 year old girls out shopping with their mums and I fancy the mum
4. I try to trip small children over when I go out for a meal because the parents let them run around screaming
5. I smile and make faces at kids in prams, whilst trying to chat up their mums that are probably 5 years younger than me
6. I remember when it was a REAL treat to be allowed sweets and you'd buy them in quarters from an old guy that'd use his hand to get your aniseed balls from a big glass jar into a little paper bag and he probably spent half the day with his hand up his bum.

There's many other things that make me feel old, not least my age. But I agree with the guy above that said he feels proud. I think we have something that this current generation lacks, which is imagination.

They don't spend half a day in the woods making a fort out of sticks and fern leafs and beg their parents to let them stay the night in it. They text their mates on their mobiles and have their parents take them to go bowling.

Agreed Id love to go back , all you had to worry about was whether you could out wheelie and bunny hop your mates

How cool you were when you had a pair of Adidas KICK or Nike Division

If you owned a Nike cagool you were soooooooooooo cool you were frozen

Raleigh Burners were the BMX of the time , if you owned an Ultra , Extra or Super Burner you were doing well and if you owned at GT or SKYWAY you were simply GOD

Everything was so simple back then

Everything there is soooooooo true, I only worried about beating my mates on Outrun, no bills, worries or anything really...

Just remembered another classic game, WEC Leman!!! Got to be the hardest ever game!!! lol

I think there is nothing to get too depressed about to be honest, I remember when I was 15 a girl I knew got run over and killed, so thats 11 years of life i've had on that poor unfortunate girl (Kerry Horkey).

I know what the guy above is saying about single mums, lol!!!! Nightmare when your single, lol
