Speaking of Simpsons we always watched it on sky one. We had sky from the very beginning, I remember my friends wanting to come round all the time because they just had “normal” tv. But a vivid memory I have is lying on the living room floor watching the simpsons, I was lying on my stomach and my brother came in and jumped on my back and winded me 🥹🥲 the joys of growing up in a house with boys. Battered to a pulp on the daily

I remember this about watching new simpspns episodes too! Even now when I hVe seen them all a million times I love them (series 1-12only the rest are crap

All this Simpsons talk has reminded me of the classic song Do the Bartman!

I had that on cassette. 'Because I put mothballs in the beef stew.'

I bought some impulse air and 02 oh my god the smell took me right back!!! Wish they bring out the vanilla range!

I really want impulse goddess to come back that was my fav.

I was in next the other day and saw just pink which brought back 00s memories for me too

I had just pink but didn’t like it back then. But have tested it recently and i liked it!

Out of air and 02, 02 is definitely the better one.

BBC2 in the late afternoons used to be Fresh Prince of Bel Air, The Simpsons and The Weakest Link.

The Simpsons then moved to Channel 4. So I started watching Channel 4 in the late afternoons after school, with Richard & Judy, The Paul O'Grady Show, The Simpsons and Hollyoaks.

I remember the actor who played Little Cook in "Big Cook, Little Cook" going on Richard & Judy and talking about being enjoying sex despite being ginger, and my childhood was ruined.

I had an episode guide of The Simpsons called Beyond Forever, and used to read it whilst watching I lost the original copy but I bought a new copy for nostalgia a few years ago.

I loved habbo hotel! Does anyone remember Girland? I used it all the time but struggling to describe it, it had forums where you could ask for and give advice, and you used to be able to make these dolls on it - I loved making them and would spend ages designing them

I remember those dolla from a chat room called dollhouse it was full of pedophiles.

I downloaded tiktok. Slightly OT I know but this thread is millennials reminiscing and adapting to new technology

it’s not THAT addictive but I don’t think the algorithm has got me yet. It’s worked out I like cats and funny videos after an hour, but the videos are quite generic, like I don’t find people falling over funny etc think the recommendations get better the longer you spend on it

 

[cryptix]

I don't have tiktok but I get sucked into the reels on instagram which are basically all from tiktok anyway and oh my god its so addictive I've always been someone who scoffed at people being 'addicted' to their phones but its actually becoming a problem for me
It's truly quite disconcerting how many platforms are pushing this type of content because they know its so addictive but soon it will be unavoidable.
I don't want to totally avoid them either because some of them are genuinely interesting or comforting but mixed with a lot of other crap and the way you end up endlessly scrolling I swear it's rotting our brains. And then you open up the comments and that's a whole other can of worms!
Sorry for the ramble but I've been thinking a lot about this recently!

Yeah Snapchat is popular with teens as well. It’s all going to be short form videos in the future

That Mizz magazine took me right back I've just been reading through this thread and remembering some of these, the 'tampons give you toxic shock syndrome' one used to give me the fear

Maybe ivershare but I never use tampons and I think it is literally because of mizz and sugar the embarassing stories were always hilarious

There was always a story of a tampon falling out of their bag in front of their crush who was usually the lushest lad in school . Looking back they were probably all made up by the magazine people.

Yeah so true I'm sure mizz started shaming people with what they thought were fake "cringes" too but tbf they were over the top stories. I can even picture the cartoon drawings they used

 

[unwanted.opinions]

Who remebers these sketchbooks? They where the go to sketchbook when I did GCSE art. Do they still make them as I think they where pretty decent.

My friend and I always read those stories in a breathless commentary to each other, agreeing that most of it was likely made up. And then one day, we proceeded to make up our own and send it in Can't remember if it was printed, but I do remember how we over-embellished a story about taping up boobs and then puting off a sweater over a t-shirt in class. Of course the t-shirt rode up exposing the booby-tape in front of the dreamiest, lushest and most likely dumbest of all hearthrobs. Whatever would we do to relieve the embarrassment and get a chance with him again?

I firmly believe that either the people from the magazine made up all those stories about cliff-jumping tampons or it was people like my friend and me making up such stories. Nobody in their right mind experiences these things, writes them up in cringing agony and sends them to a teen magazine expecting help!

Do any of you listen to the Boy Meets World rewatch podcast? I assume it would still be classed as noughties nostalgia as it ended in 2000.

There was a lot of questions why Ben Savage wasn’t included and then they revealed recently he randomly just cut them all out of his life and stopped answering their calls

I loved BMW
