Should we do this as we are in the second division , how we go about it ?
-
How do you mean, Boil in the Bag Vestas thrice weekly and relying on local shrubbery for pornographic needs ?
-
There never used to be 99p donner meat n chips deals in 1987. Perry common v Stockland green was a regular occurrence, gypsy lane the meeting point
-
Any idea where I'll get some stonewashed Pepe jeans?
-
I'm going to have to find a large ball bag to live in.
-
8 cans of woodpecker cider and vomiting on the pavement and getting the bus home? No ta.

I'm sure I have my Casio calculator watch somewhere.

Be nice to be taller than Damon again.

That's every home game for me
-

LOL. nice one
-
If there's one year I don't ever want to see again, its 1987.
Nothing to do with Villa. I had virtually no interest in football back then
-
Let's see who really is dedicated, 4 tv channels, no mobile no Internet.
-
Ah fuck, The Smiths have just split up.
-
5p to do the whole 11 route.£4.50 Now disgrace.
-
And Coventry have won the cup. Why are we doing this again?
-
Cov were knocked out by non league Sutton United in 87-88 season in the 3rd round. It was humiliating
-
Did the number 7 stop at colmore row or corporation Street in 1987-1988. I might ask the driver to drop me there to give the 1987-88 experince.
-
Sinitta on cassingle!
-

So they were. I remember that.
I always (though not in 1987, when I was 9) wanted to write a novel that depicted the great storm of 1987 having no metaphorical significance in the lives of its protagonists. Couldn't be arsed in the end though.
-

88/89.
-
So it was.
87/88 was the last time I went on a football special - to Leeds in the cup. I'd liked to have seen Corbyn travelling in one of them. Then he'd know what being treated like shit was all about.
-
They definitely won it the year we went down. I remember we played them after they had got to the Semi Final and for some reason our Announcer wished them luck in the Semi Final which bought some applause from their horrible masses. Oh and we beat them again 1-0.
-
Are we still talking about The Smiths?
-
And iirc Sutton got smashed 8-0 by Norwich in round 4.
-
I could have given you the perfect plot Sexual. We spent three months digging the horse manure out of a chalk pit on the Arundel estate. Hundreds of cubic metres we were going to bag up and sell. Along came Michael Fish's hurricane and blew it all back in again.
-

Nah, Johnny Hates Jazz and Wang Chung.

Sold! As long as it didn't reflect any personal emotional turmoil, of course.
-
Must have been around then for Spagna.
-
SE I was a bit Hedley Lamarr like (churning, seething) but my crew were mildly amused. I too planned a novel with the big storm as its mise en scene. When Freddie Trueman was sued for divorce he claimed he knew exactly where he spent the night in question because it was the night of the Hurricane. I saw split screen flashbacks - one of Fiery Fred in his underpants trying to close the window shutters and the other of the plaintiff in her chemise trying to get him to leave the shutters and come back to bed. Should have written it.
-

Not sure about '87 but I remember getting the 7 from Dale End, before they tore up the map of Birmingham and redirected all the traffic.

Sounds more entertaining than anything we served up in '87.
And a darned sight more plausible than Bingo Billy keeping us up.

Do you reckon he'd have incorporated his legendary long run up in such a situation Brian?☺

I had ditched the Casio by then and was wearing a very colourful Swatch.

This was me circa 1987.

No way am I going back to earn £2.48 per hour.

I suffered from blurred vision all the way through the late 80s until I realised it was hairspray on my glasses.

Mate, this is a thread about the 80's, not the 90's. That one is For Tomorrow.
-
I Seymour Blur puns are starting to arrive.
-
Well strictly speaking it was released in the close season, but surely Appetite for Destruction has to be the most appropriate album for the Villa in 1987?

I actually listened to that whole album on Saturday on vinyl, whilst assembling some furniture. Rock n roll or what?

As long as it wasn't Ikea furniture, as that would have required some Swedish death metal, Ikea being the work of Satan!

Chinos, striped shirts and ties - for a 16 year old! I am OK thanks!

I Seymour Blur puns are starting to arrive.
The best ones were in the Music section (What Are You Listening To? thread), when after I posted a pic of Modern Life Is Rubbish/Goodish, there were some great Villa-related puns relating to the tracklist i.e relating to James Colins' Zeal, and Damon Green's view of Villa:Rosie.

I had my first job in this year. It didn't last long. I looked up the company recently to find it's still going. Alca Fasteners in exotic Darlaston.
-
Mel (RIP) from Mel and Kim had just appeared in a gentlemen's magazine wearing not much clobber, much to the delight of 17 year old me.
-
Football was just about football. No really daft admission prices. Still ha a chance of winning something and even then life was simpler than today and the villa were now on an upward spire

the 7 was stopping at dale end in late 90s from what I remember.

£1.50 to stand on the Holte as an under-16 :) :) :)
I remember a juvenile section on the holte end till 1990. Walk to the top of aston park, you could see part of the game.
-
Climb up the big elm tree (since succumbed to Scolytus destructus) and you could see most of the pitch.
-
I remember a chippy down the witton lane, not sure if it was directly opposite the holte end, where those houses are or if it was on holte Road??
-
It became a knocking shop. The three lovely ladies who ran it kept the chip shop as a front. Not that they were deficient in the front department.
-
These spectrums are great. Best graphics ever

I read that as blue or red knickers!!

Love the claret and blue paint work on that Witton Railway Bridge - looks like it could last decades.

How did I miss that? Be right back...

I lost my virginity with a girl called Jenny in a park in Exeter.

done up in 1985, Ellis paid for it. The paint hadnt even dried, before some local witton villa lads tarted it up with some villa graffiti.

I thought we'd got tired of colour clash by then but me Sega Mega Drive apparently didn't turn up until 1988. My first "big ticket" purchase with my own wages.
-

I was having the occasional twosome and an awful lot of onesomes in Morecambe.
-
Palmela Handerson in Morecambe, eh?
-
Just bought my first car, a 1975 blue mini. Now I am realising how fu**ing temperamental cars made in Longbridge were, carrying a dry cloth and WD40 everywhere because every time it rained the thing cut out at the lights or a roundabout, and I had to jump out and spray the distributor cap and spark plugs.
Also learning the delicate art of manual choke.

I left school/finished my exams on the exact day SGT was appointed Villa manager. I started helping a relative in his haulage business for a few quid a time. I went to see David Bowie on The Glass Spider Tour at Wembley and Maine Road. I saw Madonna at Wembley on the Who's That Girl Tour. I was earning £28.50 a week on a YTS business course in Chelmsley Wood. Myself and Nev started following Villa home and away. I went to Australia to visit relatives over the Christmas and New Year '87-'88. When I came back I got a job in an insurance office which took my weekly wage from £28.50 to the astronomical sum of £80 a week. I felt like I had won the pools.

I'd just left school and started my apprenticeship... I had a moped...
I spent my time moping about, playing guitar and smoking things which made me look like this:

-
5p to do the whole 11 route.£4.50 Now disgrace.
It would have been a bit more than that - reckon about 20p for kids at that time. Of course there was the added complication of peak and off-peak fares.

I had similar hair but mine was bleached blonde. I looked like the bastard love child of a crazy debauched night of sex between the snooker player Kirk Stephens, Just Good Friends' Paul Nicholas and Rick Parfitt out of Status Quo.

Obviously not '87, but what was number 1 when we won the european cup?
-
Was in my second year at college in Dundee having the time of my life...bought my first Satriani album, Surfing with the Alien, and loved it.
I do also wonder if Tawny is still stuck to that car bonnet...

It was one crazy night between me and you and I thought we had agreed never to broadcast it. But yes I do still think about you constantly 'Big Boy'.
Actually it was a girl called Karen who lived round the corner and we did it whilst my mum and dad were out at their social club on a Saturday night. I distinctly remember that Casualty was on the telly whilst we were doing the deed.
-

Without cheating and Googling it I would have three guesses and go Come On Eileen, Joe Dolces's Shaddupya Face or something by Bucks Fizz. As for 1987, when we went down I'm pretty sure we went down to the sound of Madonna's La Isla Bonita. Funny the stuff you remember.

Speaking of 1987 and the 11 bus route, I think it was that year that someone from my school decided it would be good for the kids to do the Walkathon. Bloody knackering

I suffered from depression. Not fun anytime.

It was a couple of years more before I went for the ST512 with a whopping 512K. Then my mate got a 1024 at some point and we all called him a flash bastard with his 1MB.

-
1987, probably the best year for black music since the early 70s. It was difficult to keep up with everything that was coming out of New York and Chicago and that's before you even mention the soul.
-
Bizarrely I also popped my cherry in May of 1987, on a grass bank behind the sea scouts hut in Tamworth. I remember it was cup final day (can't for the life of me remember who played) just it was a gloriously sunny day and we drank a few cans of breaker lager and did the deed.
As strange as it seems I think nothings gonna stop us now by starship was in the charts, I was in forever love and we went to my Aunts for a BBQ later that night, my forever love lasted about 3 more months

Just looked it up it was Cov vs Spurs

I've just tried on my 87 Hummel shirt - someone call the fire brigade I need to be cut out :-[

I got a Commodore Vic20 for Chrsitmas 1982. I was obsessed with a Pac Man style game called 'Jelly Mosters'. About two years later a got a Spectrum with the old style rubber keys and then a couple of years later got a Spectrum+. I used to love Football Manager and an F1 game called 'Chequered Flag'.

I had actually been in Coventry on the morning of that final helping my uncle out in his haulage business. I remember plenty of sky blue flags being displayed. I watched that final sat on the sofa at my mum and dads with Nev. But seeing as this thread has partly morphed into a nostalgic look back on our teenage sexual exploits I would like to place on record that nothing happened.

I was obsessed with Bowie in 1987. Saw him live twice, got his new album that year 'Never Let Me Down' and starting collecting his back catalogue. On cassettes (remember them?). I got into Pink Floyd around that time too, bought some of their albums and saw them the following year.
-
Damo70 I would like to claim that I was some kind of sexual demigod and was at it for hours like a full time Dutch porn star, however I suspect it was more like a cough and a sneeze and it was allover.

At my age I would like to be able to claim I was like a part time Dutch porn star, let alone a full time one.
I should also ask how you seen to have some insider knowledge as to the working hours of Dutch porn stars. There is also probably the opportunity for a joke about fingers and dykes at this point.

i was spared the indignity of it damo, largely. I was on a coach load of school kids coming back from a French exchange trip. Word of it only spread later on the Saturday night. There were a few Pringle sweatered, Farah sporting, wet look mulleted kids excited about it on the bus; but most of us couldn't have cared less. Least of all me, as I was still doing action replays in my head of a romantic encounter with an older lady (she was in 5th yr from our school) on the top deck of the ferry as it glided into Plymouth harbour !

I had not long been posted to Germany and was discovering the
Reeperbahn cultural delights of Hamburg.
On the tangent, Lynn in her parents bedroom in Wood End.

I got my collar bone broken by Snowdrops (RAF MPs) on the Reeperbahn in 1959. On the tangent, on a pile of camouflage nets with Ingrid in the tank park Hildesheim.

Indeed.
'You without me is like cornflakes without the milk.'

Oh and it was Val Hopkins in a field opposite Norton Covet on a beautiful April evening in 1975 - watched by sheep...
-
I'm sure she'll be pleased to see her name pop up in a Google search.
-
Indeed.
'You without me is like cornflakes without the milk.'
Whilst I bow to your greater knowledge in such areas, wasn't 86 a better year than 87?

We had a school trip the Hamburg in 1985. We were supposed to have a meal at the top of the Heinrich-Hertz-Turm but it was closed.
Therefore the teacher decided to take us on a walk down the Reeperbahn instead. Not sure that he'd get away with that these days.
The next year we had a trip to Esbjerg (despite the school not running a Danish course) which consisted of seemingly endless hours on the North Sea and then three hours in the town. Whilst on land we never saw the teachers.
As I've mentioned before, I swear that we were unknowing cover for obtaining elicit chemicals/plant material.

Harwich - Esbjerg.
18 hours overnight, although DFDS stopped the route a couple of years ago. I hated that crossing. Only started feeling sea sick the first time I stood on terra firma after we'd driven off the ferry and would then be ill for 12 hours afterwards.

Harwich - Esbjerg.
I think I did that trip 1986 although it could have been 1987 with some friends from Bradford College believe it or not! Coach from Bradford to Harwich, ferry across to Esbjerg, 3 hours on shore then the journey in reverse. Must have been mad?
-
3 hours on shore sounds about right as it was a 6 hour turnaround in port to disembark, clean up and embark for the return trip and hold it to a 24 cycle.
The worst trip I ever experienced was when the crossing to England was delayed as they couldn't get the ferry into port because of the seas being so rough.
Our crossing was like a millpond, but everywhere you went on board was the smell of vomit and disinfectant as a reminder of how shit it had been for the poor bastards on board the night before stuck out in Vesterhavet.

On the "tangent bit from the previous page" I probably need to share the first two. I opened my account between the hockey goal at the top of the school field at Year 9 end of year disco to include being caught just after finishing the deed by a teacher.
Round 2 was a girl nearly two years older than me in a large metal container out the back of Cheltenham's premier sports store, Leisure Land (it was filled with cardboard boxes).
The wife wonders as to why I am not romantic! I should add that I also took a hiding from the brother of the second (he was my age) who later went on to be the gypsy fraternities shining light as a world class kick boxer.

Year 9!!! So that would be the third year in real money then...

I spent a fortune on Krunchy Puffs in there.
