Past "Crazes"

Been ill for a few days, but nothing that was keeping me down for long. For some reason got thinking about all the Fads i have experienced over my years, and feel compelled to share them with you. Random i know, but here they are:

1. Tazos - These things came and went so fast ! I remember Sylvester the cat being so very rare.



2. Pogs - I thought pogs were the bomb in the mid-90's. Now i detest them.


3. Football stickers - This was probably my favourite craze. The lads in my primary school went crazy for these things. The 1995 album was the first one i got. I always remember the West Ham team was so friggin' hard to find, but our teacher had all of them stuck on her board. I used to get so upset when Mum wouldn't buy me one 30p pack, but then Dad would come home with 10. Simpler times.



4. Pokemon Cards - The year 2000 was the year of these babies for me. Never new how to play the game, too complicated for folk like me. Just liked the pictures on the cards. How Prideaux managed to get the card above i will never know, that thing was like gold dust.




5. WWF - This one is questionable i know, but many were obsessed with wrestling. We used to make a wrestling ring in my living room, then throw each other off the sofa. My brother found out he was cool, when he picked up my 6 foot 6, 12.5 stone friend over his head and powerslammed him, when he was 11 years old.
