Take me back to November 3, 1990

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is November 3, 1990, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Scorpio. People are currently enjoying their weekend.

Halloween has just come and passed. It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice is at the top of the singles charts, while "Unchained Melody" by Righteous Brothers is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Jacob's Ladder is at the top of the box office. Margaret Thatcher is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "'Allo 'Allo!", "Sherlock Holmes", "Family Matters", and "One Foot in the Grave".

Texting is not a thing yet. Instead, people are using landline phones and pagers. Furthermore, most people have never heard of the Internet. In fashion, many of the trends from the late 80s are still popular. Colored tights, denim overalls, leotards, flannel shirts and shoulder pads are all fashionable at the moment. It's 1990, so the airwaves are being dominated by music artists such as Sinéad O'Connor, Paula Abdul, Janet Jackson, Vanilla Ice, Mariah Carey, Stevie B, Madonna and MC Hammer.

Despite international condemnation, economic sanctions and demands from the UN Security Council, Saddam Hussein's forces are continuing to occupy Kuwait. A civil war has broken out in the African nation of Rwanda. In Europe, the Soviet Union is continuing to dissolve.

In Irish politics, Tanaiste and presidential candidate Brian Lenihan has been dismissed from government by Taoiseach Charles Haughey amid allegations that he lied about asking President Patrick Hillery not to dissolve the Irish parliament in 1982. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Roald Dahl, John Bardeen, Miles Davis, and Freddie Mercury would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Super Mario Land", "Golden Axe", "Batman: The Video Game", and "Phantasy Star II".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "The Real Ghostbusters", "21 Jump Street", "Round the Twist", and "Art Attack". Children are playing with toys such as Cabbage Patch Kids, the Nintendo Entertainment System, Popples, and Fear Street books.
