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.

One of my closest mates works there as admin.

Working tirelessly on our behalf?

I've just walked out of my job in Tyseley that I hated and bought an Interrail Card to go round Europe shagging on a cultural tour for a month.

Remember when you could get European train vouchers from Persil boxes back then.

1987 was an utterly shit year for me.

I suffered from depression. Not fun anytime.

These spectrums are great. Best graphics ever

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.



You guys are crazy. Have you seen how much memory the Commodore has got?! SIXTY FOUR K!!

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.

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.



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.

And I swore that I was on the pill. PM me to arrange a meeting with little baby Bono.

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

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'.
