Come on, spill the beans - I won't tell a soul. tee hee.
What are you doing up at this time? Shouldn't you be in bed with your cocoa?
Yes I think a 'bit off the rails' springs to mind.
As if I would tell anyone here what I do now for a job!!!!! Do you think I am mad? .... no don't answer that one!!
i had a pair of those shoes but in brown and sort of brogue patterning on them, i never wore them coz they hurt but still kept them.
Have found your blog really interesting. Week 2 Jan 1978. Sunday Jan 8th we all met up in the Railway to celebrate my 18th and went back to our house in Liverpool road to party. Bouncers on the door at Railway didnt want to let me in - Robinsons(landlord) - mates of parents - had to tell them I was 18 and vouch for me.
By the way I was later the DJ at Tiffanys with Phil Watton and others. Ran the Bali Hi and also did all the private functions as well as the Jazz Funk nights.

Hi E
Glad you like the blog.
Funnily enough I never had any trouble getting in the Railway... the only trouble was the teachers from my school drank there so had to be careful.
Bali H hee hee great nights. Tiffanys was so good. It is strange that you where there when maybe I was, you playing the music and me dancing lol ... do you have any photos of Tiffanys back then? If so I would love to see them :)
