I must admit that I have pinched this thread from another forum, but it was a really interesting read.

Within my lifetime there has been:

Neil Armstrong setting foot on the moon - I just about remember that as I was only 5.

The three day week. Rubbish in the streets, power cuts etc.

Elvis Presley dying. My mum bawled her eyes out.

The Falklands.

Hillsborough, Heysel, Bradford.

The Yorkshire Ripper.

The Berlin Wall coming down.

Diana's death and the faux mourning the country went into.

9/11 - all in glorious live colour.

I've probably missed out loads. Anyone else have memories of major events in their lifetime ?

Palace playing in two cup finals... the biggest and most important... :-)

Don't remember all of them but, as well as the above:

Berlin Wall going up
Cuban Missile crisis
Kennedy Assassination (both)
Watergate
Aberfan
Vietnam
No such thing as mobile phones or the internet
Teachers at my school describing J Savile as 'a living saint'
Election of Thatch (the last General Election I couldn't vote)

Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

For me:

Peter Andre and Katie Price get together
Senna crash
Savile exposed as a paedo
Three very different pubic hair styles in vogue (full, nowt, landing strip)
Twin towers destroyed
Peter Andre and Katie Price fob it off
ITV+1
Wifi kettles
Eddie Izzard's beret gets whipped
Columbine
Christmas x 35

Not strictly in order but pretty much covers it.

I was born the year that happened, but I saw replays of it and even now Cheryl Baker makes my loins bubble.

He'll include that when he's finally suppressed the erection it caused.

Hell yeah, that's right up there with the November 1986 Freemans catalogue page 14 (bras for the larger lady) for pure filth.

Always a bit embarrassing when your mum found those pages stuck together, I recall.
