GENERIC NOSTALGIA TRIGGERS.

peruan panflute players on the street

Was wondering what happened to them recently

nobody really knows, i think they never really were peruan. just like the italian restaurants now are run by albanians pretending to be italian.

They should do a theme park/hotel experience called 90s world or something

No mobile phones (except shit giant ones that cost loads), no MP3 players, no internet, just the sun shining brightly and beers for 2 pounds 50

Ruel Fox. Tony Daley. Operation Wolf. Outrun. Mark One clothing store. Mrbyrites clothing store. Dickie Dirts clothing store. Beaded Curtains in doorways. Girlie Calenders in the offices of tyre fitters. Double Dragon. Blue Thunder. Street Hawk. Coca-Cola mini football. Italia 90 logo. Ice poles. Rumbelows. Athena poster. Aqua Libra. The Pasty Italiano. Tony Dorigo. Jet from Gladiators. Madhouse discount clothing retailer on Oxford St. Panda Pops. Smoking B&H Gold in cafes while someone next to you is trying to eat their beans on toast. rolling a copy of The Star up and putting it in the back pocket of your jeans. Pirate DVD street trading. Jazz mags in bushes. Percy Ingles with moulded plastic seating. etc etc

History repeats on a 2160 year cycle so fingers crossed

Pinking sheers or old wooden Sewing Machines. A reason to go up into the loft as a kid.

No internet?
Wouldn't be very realistic for me then unless you only went to 93, but I guess that would be fine with me.

i was on dial-up most of that time, but didn't really need more than that for what I was doing since it was mostly text stuff like irc, email groups, usenet, etc.
