Well you should've joined in on our vegetable pun thread then.

Little bit too '90s for an 80s party...

As in, the Oz kids thing about a lighthouse? Or was it New Zealand? Meh,
miles away from here anyway. 

Loved the theme music to that...

I have a feeling that watching any of those for a long period of time
will bring back repressed childhood memories. With the exception of
Duckula, because I was a big boy when that was on. 

I watched an episode of Button Moon a few years ago. Freaked me out
somewhat. It really hasn't aged well!

Ohhhh. It was all going well until that! Suppose it depends on how much
alcohol is floating around at the time.  My dad always seemed to enjoy
Music Man much more than I did after his 18th pint...! 

> various 80's compilations

May I suggest you also head off to tv.cream.org and grab some telly
themes to randomly insert throughout the night. The percentage of people
who would stop talking just to sing along to the Different Strokes theme
is quite staggering.

Aw, couldn't get the beef ones, then? :)

Of course, Alphabites could also be substituted by Birds Eye Potato
Waffles, seeing as they're waffly versatile (cuck-oo) 

> Dessert:

No Angel Delight? For shame! This does remind me of one of the nicest
desserts I had, and god knows what it was called.... 

Lemony Angel Delight type stuff, but you got a packet of ginger biscuit
crumbs to serve over the top. Serve warm. Absolutely divine.

Everyone knows that Fruit-Tella are far superior!!
 
> I'm really looking forward to this :)

I might have to arrange my own at some point... though I might have to
base mine around a Connect 4 knockout championship, or something like
that..... hmmmm, wonder if my "Operation" still works.... 

Though, knowing the people I'd invite, the whole lot would end up on the
barbecue by the end of the night. 

Have a good night!

alphabites.

not a bad selection, any A-Team and Star wars stuff would be worthy 
additions too
