Right - last post far too self-absorbed and downbeat. NurseEvy and Badluck Brent have put me in a sentimental Eighties mood.
I wish I had a photo of me from 84/85, with long post-New Romantic hair, black eyeliner, diamante earring, long black coat and leather boots.
However, I have been rummaging through Youtube and come up with some ancient gems:

A wonderful track from The Jazz Butcher: Girl Go



A very moody House of Love video of Christine:



And my all-time favourite band, the Blue Aeroplanes with Jacket Hangs. I saw them at least five times; they were stunning live, especially the night in 1990 at Hammersmith Odeon, when they were supporting REM, and got them and some friends out for a stunning twelve guitar finale of Breaking in my Heart (sigh)....this song has arguably the greatest riff ever:



Hope some of you enjoy this little trip down Memory Lane. It brightened me up no end!

He truly was an amazing guy. My wife and I have become total anglophiles as we she drives a Jag I drive an old Range Rover, our favorite show is Top Gear. Funny you like Man City as when I would go to soccer camp as a kid our 5 aside team was Man City. Now I like Newcastle but I haven't watched a Premiership match in a couple of weeks. Looks like Newcastle is headed for relegation.
REM yes I did love REM too. I lived next door to a guy who went to school with Michael at U Georgia, their lyrics are truly incredible.

You can't just stick them through the wash. lol. They're not made like that. They stain and it's part of his uniform so if they don't look good he gets in trouble. He's a marine btw.
