June 30th 1986.

On the exact day of my birthday The U.S. Supreme Court rules that states could outlaw homosexual acts between consenting adults.

2002 - Brazil win the World Cup
2007 - The terrorist attack at Glasgow Airport.

Grew up watching tv shows like DJ Kat

Rocky Rockstar

Retro

Big Movies for my age group that I remember (rough age):

Star Wars trilogy (7, 10 & 13)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (11)
ET (12 - didn't like it though)
Rocky III (12)
Gremlins (14)
Back to the Future (15)

Which leads me on to another thing:

Videos - I was a young teen when they became popular. Probably seems quite mundane now - but it was huge at the time. Video Parties were great (for getting off with girls at least).

The 'classic' video movies were:

Exorcist
Friday the 13th
The Holy Grail
Life of Brian
Halloween
Entity
Porkies

Retro

...Airplane
Animal House.

Just to add to that last list.

Animal House \o/

D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.

H.O.V.I

Agree with purivs about that era of cartoons although i am a few years younger.

Video games really took off in the 90's so i am glad i was part of that from a young age.

also the internet taking off in a big way was great.

Back To The Future is ffffb!! </BLOCKQUOTE>

actually I was watching it the other days and discovered something new! In part 3, when Marty and the Doc are in the cemetery, his dog Copernicus ran away to Doc's grave. Marty went to get him and shouted "Spartacus! come here Spartacus"

thought that was brilliant \o/ </BLOCKQUOTE>

Best thing about the whole series for me was in the first one.

When "Chuck's" cousin Marvin phones him up and says.

"Chuck, Chuck, it's Marvin, your cousin Marvin, Marvin Berry, remember that new sound you been looking for....listen to THIS"

June 1984
I remember waking up on saturday mornings to going live and live and kicking. Gordon the Gopher was just the best thing on television. (Roland Rat coming second)

I remember my the internet hitting off for a more personal use. When CD's were brought out. And the massive change of 5p coins everywhere. The gameboy revolution. Everyone had one!

Was also there (aged 6) to see Scotland win the grandslam nations with my brother on the bench in 1990. I still have his shirt in my treasure box.

I was around for Take That mania that took over every girl i knew. The crying and the near mass killings when they broke up.
