Whatever happened to Rick Astley?
Spangles made a huge loss when reintroduced several years ago. Doubt they'll ever returm.
Spokey Dokeys were discovered to be very crap.
Rick Astley emigrated to Venus where he lives with a purple polar bear named Jacob.
Whatever happened to good clean fun...:twisted:

What happened to Wham bars and jaw brackers?
You can still find them in small newsagents in really remote areas of the country. I think it makes you appreciate them more when you find them :)
what happened to Pokemon? :O
I stilll play pokemon stadium, colloseum and the gameboy games... and I'm 25. Great games tho! Shame the cartoon sucked after the first series.
Whatever happened to those lil plastic circles we used to bunch an oversized t-shirt in one corner?

Somewhere, Miss Tigs.... somewhere... The Jaw breakers is out there.
Whatever happened to the flintstones?

Whatever happened to 'Spangles'.. the sweets? What are they?
Whatever happened to.. those clicky multi-coloursed things that went on bike spokes? I haven't a clueyyy what you're talking about..
Whatever happened to Rick Astley? Who?
First thing that comes to mind, for no particular reason is Adam Rickett :cry: Who?
What happened to Wham bars and jaw brackers?What are they?
Whatever happened to Sinclair C5's :eek: What on earth are those?
ooh, the pokeballs! The whatnow?
what happened to Groovy Girls? Who on earth are they?
What happened to the snood?????????? a hoodie come scarfe thingy ./me laughs at the funny word 'snood'
Whatever happened to those slap bracelets that were a stick until you slapped them on your wrist and they folded around it? Oh they're still around! ./me reccommends Toy Cupboard. I expect you can find them there.
whatever happened to Josh Hartnett? i haven't seen him forever. The name rings a bell but I wouldn't be able to recognise him...
what happened to Pokemon? :O Who cares? Pokemon was ruuuuubish!
Whatever happened to the flintstones? Doesn't Cartoon Network show it anymore? xD
and whatever happened to Leg Warmers!!! Still going very very strong...! Pretty much everyone I know owns a pair.. Well.. except me. :D
whatever happened to the power rangers? Mehh I was never interested in them! They are surely still around!
then the pokemon/digimon/yu-gi-oh! Bleauuugh. Good riddance!
then the beyblades? As above :eek:
what happened to Spice Girls? Well.. Most of them have children. One is pregnant. Most (all?) of them had failed solo singing careers xD
whatever happened to fully clothed teenage girls?
/me waves
There are one or two around. But.. literally one or two. And I'm one.. Maybe gracie is two?
I wonder what ever happened to Hop Scotch..
or POGS!! hahaha.. or four square.. or cats in the cradle (String game)
What ever happened to our childhood!!
I swear.. kids these days..the other day i seen a 8 year old with a CELL PHONE! :eek:
Hop Scotch! Oohh! Pogs.. have heard of them but don't know what they are.. look like little bits of plastic that don't do anything to me..
Foursquare! I assume it's the same as what we called 'corners?' A box of four squares, and you stand on the corners, with one in the middle, and have to run, knocking other people round to other corners.
Cats cradle ooh I remember that! I have a pink & white string xD
Most of those things you mentioned may well still be going strong in primary school playgrounds.. how would we know? o_O
Pshhh giving mobiles to kids that young is stupid. I got my first one when I was 12. I also know an 8 year old with one but her parents had it so she could only play games and use the camera on it, not call or send messages. Which just proves she doesn't need one.

01-03-2007, 05:39 PM
Yeah, I've heard you say that. I hate when they don't have any self respect. I also like when the guys throw bits of paper down their pants.

Ahahaha very nice gracie!
We had to do a freeze frame of a convention of a sitcom today in media, so I told this ♥♥♥♥♥ in my class that she could do stereotypes and be a slut. She just looked at me like.. "You actually said that?"
Oh, and the smurfs must have made some recent appearance: as it happens one of my friends has a smurf as their msn picture at the moment, and their name reads "Hehe woot woot smurrrrrrrrrrrffffffff!"

Actually if you play Rick Astley's 45's at 78 speed or Kylie's 45's at 33.3 speed you will realise that Stock, Aitken and Waterman have been using the same artist and marketing them as two.
