i was the epitome of cool
My first Album:
Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet (age 10)
Micheal Jackson - Bad (i dont actually remember liking this (i just recall owning the cassette tape)

mind you, the first tape i actually listened to was "BBC sporting theme tunes". I used to LOVE ski sunday and would play it top blast on my Cassette Player (which was a pile of shit) whilst assuming the "franz clammer" position in my bedroom.

I also went down the M&S Shell Suit path like many others it seems.

I also had a purple one, which i took to america when i went to school there. The yanks had never seen such shimmering material and crowded round to stroke it.

i told them it was like a thermos flash, in that it kept me cool when it was hot and hot went it was cold. This was of course bollocks, but they lapped it up as though Velcro had been reinvented.

When aged 8, my friend and i also decided to start our own Kettle designing company (why?) and proceeded to shout "YOU'LL BE LAUGHING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR FACE WHEN WE'RE MILLIONAIRES" at anyone who laughed at our plans... which was pretty much everyone.

We only designed one kettle. it was a beauty... but alas, it never went into production.
