Paging the Tank Bag Owners

Your silk shirt? I don't think I'll ever forget that and I wasn't
even there.

 

The haemorrhoid years.

 

And Orange.

Christ the 70s were ghastly.

 

Bay City Rollers, Yes, Sham 69 and Japan.

Yeah, fucking great.

 

Only in our little gilded cages

Don't most people have a fond memory of the decade that they grew up in?

 

you weren't really there though, were you?

 

That would be the 60's around here then mate, which were pretty cool IMHO

 

yeah - flares, fair-isle tank tops, mullets, shitty 3 cylinder
Kawaskis, "The Liver Birds"

all good, eh?

Actually, the latter half of the '70s wasn't ao bad after the adoption
of bondage trousers and incorrect tartan.

 

For which I'm eternally thankful.

 

they weren't *all* bad.

Just mostly.

Actually, the only good bit I can remember was the SLF "Suspect
Device" cassette debacle.

That was amusing.

 

Fair enough. Yes were shit.

 

shang-a-lang!

 

Oh, I don't know if that's entirely true. The extended video for 90125
with Shannen Doherty in it wasn't too bad.

 

McClaren?

Well, that **** /might/ have said it, but only about 50 years after
Diana Vreeland did so in the 1920s.

Anyway, you're still not getting off the hook for that time you turned
up wearing a skinny-rip t-shirt a the Penderel's Oak...

 

my mum used to run a "boutique" in the late '70s/early '80s.

no chance.

 

Crickey, you're older than I thought.

So how do you explain yourself given that you're too old for a mid-life
crisis?

 

I was born 1960. By 1970 I'd grown up. HTH

 

Well, it certainly explains some things.
