Living your life to 1987 standards

[Damo70]

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:

[Jean Quereue-Quereue]

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.

I always thought you were between 28-35, German James.

I always thought you were between 28-35, German James.

I'm not sure if that reflects well or badly on me...

I have just had a threesome on a yacht in the South of France.

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

I love the old romantics on H&V, who can remember the name of the person they lost their virginity to.

I got the feel that you were near my age. You cool hipster muhfugga.

Obviously not '87, but what was number 1 when we won the european cup?

[CT Villan]

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
