Pft, no mention of the two best 'kids' shows on in the nineties.

Still, I'm much the same as you there apart from the fact I had a money box thing and I have always, always hated the macarena.

I never ever understood how to play ****ing pogs. I had a nice Space Precinct (remember that?) collection as well, what the hell was I meant to do with them? And there were those fat plastics poker-chip pogs? I always thought you piled the pogs up and then chuck one of the chips at the stack :S

Oh, and Tazos, more pointless stuff I look back on now and think 'why'.

Each player stacks pogs up, you use a slammer to try and flip over the other players pogs, the ones that turn over are yours to keep. The key is to just nick the edge of the stack :)

I remember making younger kids cry when i used to win their pogs hahaha

That's how i played it anyway

That is how I remember playing it, but like everything else it got banned at our school.

Also, True Lies. Watched it the other night, aswell as predator, quality films.

^^ I wondered that too, I was born in 87, so was still pretty young in the 90s

Being born in the 90s does NOT make you a 90s kid. Being a kid in the 90s makes you a 90s kid. I'd say anything later than being born in '89 or '90 disqualifies you from being a 90s kid ;)
