Herself came out with a good one last night. On the news they announced that Martin O'Neil had been sacked. Her response was "They only did that so that they don't have to pay his wages over the holidays!" <laugh>

I was part of the liberated sexual generation. Skirts were short, knickers were made of paper, booze and ***s were cheap and substances were either free or cheap. Oh and antibiotics took care of any ISD's you may come across

Funny innit really. I kind of missed the second summer of love ('88) but lived the wave of the ecstacy generation that followed....from The Roses right thru the good rave stuff when we actually went out and had a top buzz instead of snorting coke and twatting people <laugh> My first live gig was The Roses at Spike Island and R Kid had to drag me there because I never had a clue how good they were....second was The La's at The Parr Hall in Warrington, third was The Prodigy in town. After that I spent my life between The 147, The Crazy House, The Cavern and The Picket.

My early teenage 'highs' were all around football but then I found sex drugs and rock and roll (I'd started the ***s at 10) just in time to go off to uni. So most of my adventures were outside of Liverpool - Stoke, Sheffield, Leeds, Brum, Bristol and London.

I feel sorry for the kids now because we've already been there and done that and all that left for them is to be nerds!! BUT It was safer in my day.

I've always said the massive kick off in the music/drug/ecstacy scene was down to how mobile we were from the late 80s onwards. Probably the first generation (and last) where every teenager could buy a cheap motor, fill it with petrol AND have spare change to do the rest. Mobiles were just coming in so arranging random raves was possible anywhere within a 50 mile radius. Suddenly we could travel to Stoke or Manchester or Leeds, party hard and still get home early the next day......the plod couldn't keep up (or couldn't be arsed) until The Sun and The Mail started declaring it didn't like people having a good time (certainly not unregulated and tax free anyway) <laugh>

You've gotta watch this Dave, the copper in it is funny as **** <laugh>

Now here's THE gig I wish I'd been at:

Most definitely the one that kicked it off for almost every teenager in late 80s/early 90s north west engerland....on which note I'm gonna crash Dave <ok>

Been a pleasure as always.
 
Very few of us had cars but trains and buses were cheap and you could hitch quite safely. Nobody cared if you didn't attend lectures so there was little need to get back for the next day. We didn't have raves but 'happenings 'somehow happened with regularity. Clubs were still accessible and there was always the Top Rank if you were desperate. Oh and Glasto had already started. We felt we had it all and we did. Not for US the draft that the US kids faced or even the violence in France and Germany. We were dismissed by 'the system' as students' and allowed to just be - so we did!!
