Stabs 3 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Do you remember when buying 7" singles was exciting? A couple of blasts from 30 years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeHsAzj_b7U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1kqQHl5q6g...feature=related A nice early Shane number there too When wearing a parka wasn't just a fashion choice...it was life and death. When your hair being a quarter of a inch too long would see you with a black eye or worse. Sta-press, Freds, Bennies, bowling shoes, levis, boating blazers Ah...happy days Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Miss spent youth Once went to Skegness to a "meet" at Butlins when they used to let you in the bars without being a member. There were about 100 or so and **** ****** well I better not say. Needless to say from what we used to get up to the youth of today are rather timid in my opinion. I think we were just wild when we put the "uniform" on.
