They were hip in the 70s.  Came back in early 90s then fizzled out by 1993 except for skateboarders.

Recently I caught a guy whereing them still, but it was a bit retro 90s styleee.

Pirate discs were swopped by snail mail or via mass copying sessions at ‘computer clubs’.

Shops got to rip people off, because you couldn’t price compare so easy.

And I couldn’t get a job.  But it’s all different.  Thanks Internet!

That Ferrari – which was actually a replica because it cost so much.  I thought it was cool how Sonny Crockett wore Armani suits, drove a Fezza and lived on an expensive boat.

Back then the 80s were cool – UK and the rest of the world were so far behind.  The Americans hand cars, brightly lit cities, cool clothes and hot chicks.  Miami Vice encapsulated this perfectly.

I haven’t watched the film remake in disgust.  It’s apparently trash.

Crockett – Tubbs – your my heroes!  Just like Starsky and Hutch….but flashier.

What a great series.

First if you needed the A-Team, you couldn’t contact them.  They weren’t in the phone book, there was no internet and they didn’t have a Yellow Pages advert.

Secondly, they’d take out your enemies, blow stuff up and of course construct some sort of crazy machine with weapons, yet hurt no one.  Especially when they fired several thousand rounds, not one bullet would hit home.  But the bad guys would give up all the same.

Hannibal went on to be an alcoholic.

Face and Murdock disappeared.

Mr T showed his true colours and is full on gay icon now.

  I’ll never forget dinner time on a Saturday afternoon…ah I love it when a plan comes together.

A-Team, we love ya!

It was a fateful day in 1991, when Marathon was no more…the chocolate bar with peanuts and nougat became Snickers.

A stupid name, Snickers sounds more like Snigger or Nickers.  They must’ve been smoking crack that day in the brain storming session.
