So it' time for everyone to tell what year they were brought into the world in. Also, do you rememeber anything major that happened that year in the news? Or what movies and songs came out of that year?
I was born in 1983 and it's interesting what the search for that year came up with:
-Red rain fell in the UK
-Seatbelt use for passengers and drivers became mandatory in the UK
-The Ash Wednesday fires in South Australia and Victoria killed 76 people
-Tennessee Williams found dead in his hotel room
-The final epsiode of MASH was aired and it became the highest rating episode ever
-Hooters opened up in Florida (w00t!)
Movies that came out were
-Star Wars Return ofthe Jedi
-Tootsie
-Flashdance
-National Lampoon's Vacation
-Risky Buiness

I guess that I am the oldest here as I was born in 1947, years 60 years ago. I cannot remember things that far back as I was too young to think about those things.

I was born in 1986. It was the year when the First People Power Revolution took place in the Philippines. I can remember nothing else except for that. I wish I can remember more.
