Ahhh.. the 90s - I seem to remember spending an inordinate amount of energy sniffing around girls like this:
Ten 1990's Man points to anyone who can name the band with out tracing back the link or googling the Sir George Robey - Saturday 07 July 1990.

f
king hell I would break her.She had a Chinese type name, Michelle wing or something.
Passing my test in 1990 aged 17
Passing my IAM test (in a Cavalier) in 1992
Having the use of a company car in 1993 for 6months when it should have been a few weeks. It was a 1992 Cavalier SRI.
Petrol at around 75p a litre
Non complicated cars. My first 3 were a 1980 Fiesta, an 86 Cavalier and an 89 Astra.
Long journeys to England affordable due to the cheaper petrol
The BTCC racing at its peak
The 1993 crash at Donington between Nigel Mansell and Tiff Needell. We were there!

Pre digital age journey planning. Such as driving to Donington, no satnavs, mobiles and relying on the tourist info to find us accommodation when we got there!
Blur v Oasis
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
The Usual Suspects
Dress codes for bars and clubs (was never really a fan of that). Much better now most places let you in however you are dressed.
When it was the fashion to fasten the top button on your Saturday night out shirts!
Rolling Rock beer
Miller Lite, sold in white cans
When Caffreys was sold in Irish theme pubs
Working in an office with computers which weren't P.Cs but mainframes with the black screens and green text. (Or Amber text if you were lucky).
Carphones. Drove my bosses cars which had these phones installed with removable handset ( to avoid theft) but the phones only worked when plugged in the car.
Dim dip headlights. Put your sidelights on when engine running and the beam would be brighter than sidelight but dimmer than dipped beam. Actually introduced in the late 80s and phased out by mid nineties. (Outlawed by the EU).
My first T in the park in 1999. A lot different to what it has become in recent years.

The first T in the Park, Cypress Hill were late and the ended up playing a shorter set, but jamming with Rage Against the Machine. Just awesome.
I went to that, some of the other bands were pretty good, Levellers, Chumbawamba, Bjork. I only realised a couple of years later Oasis were somewhere near the bottom of the bill on the st tent and I couldn't be arsed going to see them The first 'V' festival, V96 was it? In Warrington park, Pulp and Cast, beer and very hot weather, don't remember much else....
Seeing Shed Seven at the Town & Country in Leeds along with Brutus Golds 70s nights that were on there too.
Hearing music for the first time i'll enjoy for the rest of my life.

Episode 1, part 1 focus on Birmingham, reminds me just how strong our club scene was back then and they only just scratch the surface in that show.
Best part about it was the bulk of people at the time had no idea what was going on with it all, no corporate influence at all. It really was a secret world being run by people who were part of it and were in it just to have a good time, it was alive and exciting back then.
