January 1979 To Present Day

7/6/2008 - February 1983

 

TV AM is ITVs breakfast TV show launched to rival BBC'd Breakfast Time.  I'm not really bothered about either as there are only five minutes u=in the morning between me getting up and leaving for work.

Tony and me go to Cavershams in order to pull a women each.  After a couple of hopeless attempts Tony spots a couple of crackers when the slowies come on.  I say they're out of our league but he says I've got no bottle so we ask them to dance and they say okay.

I dance with Selina who is gorgeous and is the nicest girl I've ever met in a night club.  Tony's is called Jackie would you believe!

We steal a kiss when it's time to go and they say they'll see us here again some time.

Kip the night at Tony's

Shock news on the back page of the Sunday People... Leeds fans haven't rioted this week!

*

Davina at work owes Sue 10p and throws it at her as I happen to stroll past and it hits me on the head.  Everyone except me thinks this is hilarious.

*

Sandy at work asks me a question and I shake my head to say no but forget I have a beaker of coffee in my mouth so spill it everywhere.

Also I dodge back to avoid being hit by Clare and tred on Davina.  They have re-named me Disaster Area.

*

Go to the pub and score 70,000 on the bloody machine then have an arguement with Drover about unilateral nuclear disarmourment.

*

Mandy and me agree to buy each other Valentines cards so she can make her Davis jealous and I can show off to the lads.  Except I forget.

*

Perce, Bones and me get the 10 am bus to Victoria so we're in London for opening time.

We visit many pubs in the nations capital then Bones insists we visit live peep shows in Soho.

The peep shows aren't live they're crap and seedy.  We are shown into a private cubical where thirty seconds of porn is projected onto the back of the door and that's all you get for your 50p.

Eventually arrive at Bone's uncle Len's, have a fag and a cuppa and dinner then spend the evening in Len's local, The Midland.

*

Len takes us down the Load of Hay at lunchtime and we get a few down.

Tonight is the scouts valentines do at Hendon and we go with Den, Mrs F and Bones's aunties Meg and Ollie.  You get a plate of grub and all you can drink for a fiver and it's a bloody good do.

After the dance wqe go back to a complete stranger's house for beer and charades. You can't beat cockney hospitality.

*

Bones's uncle Ed has a strict rule that he must fit in ten pints at the Load of Hay of a Sunday lunchtime.  Then he drives us to Meg and Ollies for Sunday lunch.

Den drives us back to Wally and we're drinking in The Knight by seven.  Mum and dad are away so we go back to mine and watch The Sting and other videos and when the beer runs out we open dad's home made elderberry wine.

When I go to change the video I accidentally switch to BBC1 and Breakfast Time is on and when I open the curtains I discover it is day and we have been drinking all night.

We have taken the day off as Laz is coming back.  We have breakfast in Parslows then meet Laz up the Knight for a lunchtime sesion.  We arrange to meet him there again tonight but the dick doesn't turn up.

*

The water workers have won their strike and get 11% pay rise.  Graceful in defeat Thatcher taunts them it will take a year to earn back what they lost whilst on strike.

*

Laz's mum and dad hold a surprise welcome home party at their house which must be hard as he lives there.  Perce, Bones and me roll up with Den and Mrs F and a bagfull of beer.  It's a pleasant evening of chat and charades (Laz's dad doing the Sound Of Music is painfully funny.)

At midnight they all wish me happy birthday and we leave at three.
