-lmao! ahhhhh those were the days!

Was too young to remember what was going on socially and a few years away from discovering the beatles still. 

One of the few programmes i remember watching then was Bertha and having found the intro on youtube realise it has a beatle connection: Roy Kinnear, who played the role of Algernon in Help!, did the narration and some of the voices in Bertha. Just cannot escape those pesky beatle connections.

Steve Smith of the Edmonton Oilers shot a puck off his own goalie to score a goal for the Calgary Flames to keep the Oilers from winning five Stanley Cups in a row. They won in 84 85 87 and 88

Nice thread, Von.

The Smurfs? You'll have to explain the appeal sometime.

Right - as soon as someone explains it to me. It's all just a hazy blue blur.

BOT: This thread made me look up events that happened that year. While taking the proverbial trip down Memory Lane, I kept thinking, "I can't believe John was gone 6 years already when that happened."

I'm three and like Fraggle Rock?

I'm going on twenty-three and skip past Fraggle Rock to get to the Smurfs. I'm also married for a year and a half and am dreaming about someday living in Arizona. My wife is dreaming about watching shows for grown-ups. 

The Monkees celebrate their 20th Anniversary Reunion Tour (yay) and The Clash disbands (boo).

An up-and-down year to be sure.

mmm. times haven't changed that much have they?

Anyway, there is one irregularity about the year... George was alive back then, and now he isn't. Similarly, I'm alive, but wasn't back then. Quite depressing.

Why is it exiting that the US bombed Libya?

Also, if it's 1986 then does it mean I'm not allowed to post in this thread becuase I wasn't born until like fifteen years later? If I'm not then I'm real sorry about that.!

Are you seriously only 10? You'd have to be a pretty cool 10 year old if you are!

Yeah, A'm ten, and Thanks!

-Major nuclear reactor disaster in the Eastern Hemisphere!

-USA bombing Libya!

-A much-hyped Royal Wedding!

-Space Shuttle mission!  (Good news: The Endeavour was supposed to launch today, but it's apparently been postponed until Monday at the earliest. So I guess they're giving it an extra-thorough inspection to avoid a Challenger-scaled disaster.)

 

Happy silver anniversary, 1986! Feels like no time has passed at all. Can't wait for the Ferdinand Marcos ouster, the Whitney Houston comeback, and the revelation that Obama sold arms to Iran and funnelled the profits to the Contras!

Everybody have fun tonight; everybody Wang Chung tonight! 

Stop reminding me! I’m not ready to turn ...]]> Sat, 30 Apr 2011 05:54:20 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/its-1986/#p34044 All together now http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/its-1986/#p34044 StrawberryLakiesha said:
