Growing up in the 70s & 80s - off topic!

And I am proud to say I never permed my hair. (I guess I wasnt cool enough..)

I did it once and cried for 4 hours Never again!

I never have and don't really play around with my hair much although occasionally I will put a colour through it at home

There were some posts further back about perfumes......My school always smelled like Impulse body sprays.

Mine too! There must have been a hole in the ozone layer between all the girls and their Impulse and the boys and their excessive Lynx usage

Oh that's a classic.

Remember the "Gentlemen's Perm"?

It was a mullet (business at the front, party at the back) which had the long bit permed.

Oh those were the days....

Was line dancing popular in the UK? Because now I am picturing us all out at the bar doing the 'achey breaky' lol.

Oh goodness yes it was popular and I have to hold my hands up I loved it But was so bad that me and my friends ended up at the back just

All together ladies:

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone

You can tell my arms to go back onto the phone
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lilps to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lips
He never really liked me anyway

Oh tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows that I'm okay
Oh you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo
