This week it's 1996. 
M&Ms make a change, the first email address you had, my favourite lunch time show, a comeback for scary movies, Shakespeare & Travolta, the band everyone else loved and I hated, my favourite album, the best all nighters and
moving from primary to high school is too overwhelming for me when I'm asked to do something that shocked me. 

Thanks for listening everyone!

This week we're looking at 1995. Karate, what coffee has evolved into, the worst thing about Pizza Hut, being a Windows snob, the rap song everyone knows, a brilliant year for movies and the funniest bit in Toy Story. 

Oh, and the stupidest thing I said to my parents.

This week it's 1993. The best bargain I ever had, why we don't deserve technology, the best revenge a fired actress can have, the most peak 90s movie and a karaoke recounting that may or may not be leaked onto the internet at some point. 

Oh, and the sauce I wasn't allowed to have.
