What POSTERS did you have on your bedroom wall as a kid ?

[Hamilton]

I had this...

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Went VERY generic

Music:
the backs of six (or 5) naked ladies with pink Floyd album covers painted on their backs.


Sport:
Signed Randy Duck poster

LADIES:
Rachel Stevens
Abi Titmus (think it was in a sale)

Novelty:
An elephant in a car stuck on a beach. (No, me neither).

 

[Hungry Joe]

The first proper boner poster I recall having up was the Bicycle Race one that came with Queen's 'Jazz' album.

 

[Easy 10]

My brother and I shared a bedroom for years and we had a Fart Chart, with categories ranging from 1 point for a 'Pip' up tp 10 for a 'Master Blaster Bum Rasper'. I once shat my PJs attempting a MBBR.

marvellous. That needed a whole new category.

 

[ManOfSussex]

I wouldn't dare emerge from under the covers until it was light again. A terrifying, bewildering noise that would leave my heart pounding in my chest.

It wasn't just the sound that was terrifying, there was also the realisation that the poster may have become damaged in the course of the fall. If it was in a crumpled heap on the floor, I had to jump out of bed to try and save it.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I had Maria Whittaker in a skimpy snakeskin leotard. A Ferrari 308. And I had Wendy James in a BRA.

I also had one wall completely full of Spectrum computer game posters I'd cut from Crash magazine (#geek). So what posters did YOU adorn your adolescent bedroom walls with ?

As a 15 year old in 1971, I had a big colour poster of Big Raddy on my bedroom wall, (John Radford the then Arsenal centre-forward). My dad was a life long gooner, and had a big influence on me in my formative years.

Indeed, it wasn't until the eighties, that I finally came to my senses and started following the Albion..

I initially read that as 'Big Daddy', and would have declared you as being odder than me.

 

[MattBackHome]

Excellent thread.

The first to pop into my memory (though I haven't given a thought in years) was this absolute beauty, in about A1 size, which was on my CEILING.

 

[SAC]

I had a The Who, Maximum R&B Marquee poster, a Jam poster from Smash Hits as well as a Blondie Parallel Lines poster.

 

[Gwylan]

A historical map of Great Britain
A map of Sussex in the 17th century
Barry John (my boyhood sporting hero)

Various things I cut out of magazines

 

[Buzzer]

I was in love with Keren Woodward from Bananarama (the one on the left) and had a poster similar to this.

Also had a similar one to this Madonna poster from Smash Hits

 

[Gwylan]

No Duran Duran then?

I was 24 when Duran Duran's first single came out - I was past posters by then

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Debbie Harry - the most beautiful woman that there has ever been.

Met her on the beach once. Although that was when she was 50 - still very attractive.

 

[KingstonSeagull]

Victoria Silversted Playmate of the Year and Buffy The Vampire Slayer

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Sian Adey Jones, Sheena Easton (this one) and a Lamborghini Countach.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

How come no one of a suitable age had a Susana Hoffs poster? I was too young at the time of the Bangles to realise but she was an absolute A grade hotty.

 

[Return of the Rev]

No posters just painted the room black tbh

 

[Normal Rob]

My Dad used to work for a video trade mag so i had loads of really shit film posters like this one...
