Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Well.... I'm a girl. I confess it was a pair of shoes! They were sort of petrol blue/grey shiny leather and I loved them,

I still have most if not all of my teddy bears so kinda hard to forget them!

Pete, just read your poem and have to say I really enjoyed it!
Here's something along the same 'nostalgia path' which I submitted in my creative writing degree portfolio last year:


Adolescence

Grey offices, wooden shelters,
rotten signs, the 74 bus,
the music hall, the gothic club,
they were all the making of us.

Shiny records, broken tapes,
The Cure, Duran Duran,
a game of football in the road,
kids playing kick the can.

Acne cream, homework logs,
Girls with love bites on their necks
from kisses behind the sheds,
teenage kicks, first time sex.

Falklands War, Maggie Thatcher,
all the things we were against,
loss of jobs, closing pits,
the strikers became our saints.

But we all grew up and changed,
without any knowledge put to use,
and we all reminisce on those
forgotten days of our youth.


I didn't grow up in the 80s- was born mid-november '89-but for some reason I've got an obsession with it!
Things I remember from the 90s though?

- The Oasis vs Blur debate
- Painting your front door/car red if you supported Man U or blue if you supported Everton
- Penguin bars with jokes
- When cheese and onion Golden Wonder packets were green and not blue (Smokey Beckham and Cheese & Owen Walker packets!)
- Spice Girls everywhere
- Pogs and trolls
I could spend a good few hours here...

Green made so much more sense...


White dog poo.

Buying computers but not knowing what the point in them was.

Using public telephones.

Making tapes of the top 40.

Power cuts.
