Daft crazes remembered.....

[Mosaic]

Chicken in a basket - what the blazes was that all about?
Does anywhere still serve 'inna basket' meals?

[DrFilth]

Mosaic remember them from carolines disco, deansgate and manchester city social club, there were lots of other places that had them

[boxtops]

Clackers - I got so many bruises from the damn things.

[Mosaic]

Pip's? Pip's near the Cathedral?
The Bierkeller, corner of Deansgate and St peter's street....
George Best boutique, Bridge street......

[Mosaic]

Cabbage patch dolls
Bullworker

[DrFilth]

Mosaic was in pips the night it opened we use to do a lot of work for the company that owned it ( and tramps on cross street )

[rowanwitch]

black forest gateau and camp coffee which wasn't
Coffee or camp in any way
Stylophones and betamax and 8 trackstereo
so few survive in memory today
Lyons corner house and wimpy bars
That thai lady all in blue
The crying boy that had a curse
It was crap so will that do
Orange tiles and lime green walls
Avocado baths
And vulgar comics on TV
How did they make us laugh
Babycham, and Cherry b
in special dish like glasses
knickers that had proper legs
And mad dame edna glasses
Pan stick, mascara blocks with spit
And california poppy
Party seven and party four from the local offy

[Prudie]

And the Christmas you couldn't get a cabbage patch doll for love nor money.
Remember the craze for those framed boxes of coloured sand that fell into mountain scenes.

[Zeuhl]

[Buenchico]

lol hc I've still got my bullworker.............

[Brenden]

How about trying to get teletubbies, still never got mine.

[EcclesCake]

Cheese and pineapple was mentioned. I get so excited in a post-modernist-ironic kind of way whenever I see them at a party. If they also have silverskin onions on the cocktail stick I know I am at the hippest of post-modernist-ironic parties. Or not.

[Zeuhl]

ok - eating

that stuff that popped on your tongue

[Mosaic]

Rowanwitch - so deep - thank you.
Ecclescake - only truly ironic if served stuck into a foil-covered half turnip 'hedgehog'. With draught australian sherry from the local offie.
