My Childhood

[bluebaja]

We used to play with football cards against a wall, either knock them down or first one to stand one up wins the pot.

We used to sit down throw them against a wall, whoever got closest to the wall won the rest. Used to play it with 'Mars Attacks' and 'Civil War' cards. Both quite gruesome IIRC....

Radio Luxembourg: Teen and Twenty disc club (TTDC) with one J.Saville, not sure why the twenty somethings were included;
Stayblonde and Brunatex, Bidex because…., Pete Murray with DECCA.
The programs were recorded in London but broadcast from the Principality. Radio Caroline killed it with Tony Blackburn, Emperor Rosko, Ed Stewart et al. You could hear it!

Remember ( kids, look away now..) when you bought a 45 and the centre was missing, you then had to buy the plastic thingies that went in the middle so the record went on the turntable dead centre.....what in gods name were they called ????

10 years old, penalty, last minute of the final in a five a side tournament, score and we would win a huge fuck off trophy.
Wellied it for the top corner, the cunting ball just went up in the air in waves, just kept rising and i missed the goal by fucking miles, bet the cunting ball is still rising.
Lost in extra time, fucking placcy shitty cunting cheap ball

I'm a secret lemonade drinker. Spangles. Being in charge of the coal bunker and the fireplace. Ice on the inside of the windows. Hot water bottles. Toast Toppers. Cinzano Bianco. Charley says. Wearing nothing but hand-me-downs. Kick-the-can. Oven-bottomed muffins with a single slice of bacon for a treat. Sugar butties. Bob-a-job.

Oh yes, hand me downs. I was 13 when I first got summat new.
