Do Not forget the 90′s

I am now approaching 30 and beginning to feel old. I am recruiting staff that were born in the mid 90’s and they do not get my Saved by the Bell references! Life is so frustraiting!

So to keep my adolescence alive I have compiled what was best about growing up in the 90’s.

The forerunner to the iPad! The Origional Gameboy! It’s Greenscale graphics brought games like Tetris to life, and you only needed 4AA batteries for 30mins gaming! (I appreciate the advert below is from 89)

The Big Breakfast. Channel 4 had it right! Nothing would make an adolescent boy wake up quicker than the promice of Denise Van Outen in the morning. Productivity would certainly increase if such logic was brought back!

Easily the coolest Toy around were Boglins, the eyes glowed in the dark and they looked as real as Hollywood’s finest monsters as shown in Labyrinth!

Before “geek sheek” you used to get beat up a lot for wearing glasses and being intelligent, unless you had a friend like AC Salter!

Saved by the Bell taught me many lessons in life. A not to be missed show in the school holidays!

Hi, i'm John Funnell!
