What "thing" from when you started, would be out of place now.

I think that's a Raleigh Lizard: when I started high school these were what the cool kids rode. They had an impossible number of gears: I recall was 21.

They also had that exciting new technology of quick release wheels. I remember one kid at school would always lock his through the back wheel on the basis it was harder to take off, and you couldn't ride it away. Unfortunately another kid always locked his through the front meaning that you could have a complete bike fairly quickly, if lime green and about 30kg was your idea of the ideal bike.

Yep it was a lizard. I remember my Dad getting it along with a Raleigh Coco for my sister and then winding up my mum that my Dad had bought us exotic pets.
