I used to go most weeks but alas I was utterly shite at it... My mum and the neighbours ran a break dancing club at my old primary. Always had a good turnout basically because there was loud hip hop music to be heard and more importantly?, the use of some gym mats to put under the piece of lino you took around the neighbourhood along with your battery chewing ghetto-blaster. Kuriaki windmills were all the rage to master, so it was great to have that extra padding when the knees banged into the floor trying them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The last time I was down in London I saw a boy breakdancing outside the National Gallery- it seemed to have made a sort of comeback. I remember getting up early-ish on a Saturday to watch this pish- might have been on before Tiswas or whatever took over from Tiswas.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Ulysses 31 did have a catchy tune admittedly, but the actual plot / storyline didn't make a lick of sense. I was more of a Mysterious Cities of Gold kinda guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more of a Mysterious Cities of Gold kinda guy. I thought of Cities of Gold when thinking about the best theme tunes. Another favourite. I was too young to really think about what was actually going on in Ulysses. Likewise Robo Story. All I really remember about that was the bad robot always getting told off by his boss for being useless. YOU ARE THE LOWEST OF THE LOW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Another golden oldie. Chockablock - made back in the days when the BBC had money to spunk on fancy little cars to save presenters the bother of walking onto the set.

Kennboy1978 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Prior to that was Shoprite, can't find an image but I'm sure the logo was a pale blue and yellow barcode style S. It was like a cash and carry, everything was still in its transit packaging stored on racking rather than shelves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
