Caretakers Strike N.U.P.E. (I guess the Winter of Discontent was still going)
3 pickets on the gate at college (wow)
Wrote to Sam
Washed my hair
Went to 'J's for an hour
Then went to Tiffany's for some tickets Got 20 (huh??? I wonder what these were for?)
Sam phoned he said the snow was really deep there
In my earlier ramblings I wrote about Tiffany's. It was a night club at the end of the road where 'J' & lived. Originally I think it was a cinema, then a night club called the Moulin Rouge, then Tiffany's. Sadly now it is a pub/restaurant.
But how cool it was ~ no expense on taxi's and if you forgot your lip gloss you could pop home for it.
The photo below of the then Moulin Rouge was taken from the top of our road
I thought I would have a root around and see what the top 10 chart singles were for this week I 1979. YMCA was still number 1.
Number 2 was Ian Drury - Hit me with your Rhythm Stick. I had a sort of love/hate relationship with Ian Drury's music. I think being a Shallow Hal type teen he just wasn't attractive ... I know but that is how it is when you are a girlie, but I did quite like some of his music.
Number 3 was Racey - Lay your Love on Me. No sorry I was never a Racey fan ... I know there is someone out there who has told me they are .......... you know it doesn't make you a a bad person! lol
Number 4 was Earth, Wind & Fire - September. Love E,W&F so great to dance to, later in 1979 I went to see them on concert, fabulous.
Number 5 was Olivia Newton John - A little More Love. I must admit I thought Olivia was gorgeous and was so jealous of how she looked... she was so skinny. (One the You Tube clip I have linked to there one of the comments that made me smile was 'Olivia helped me reach puberty' I bet she did lol)
Number 6 was Paul Evans - Hello This is Joannie. I had to look this one up as I didn't instantly recognise it ... I do now !
Number 7 was Chic -Le Freak ..... no didn't like this at all
Number 8 was Elton John - Song For Guy. Gosh I can't believe this is 29 years old !!!
Number 9 was Funkadelic - One Nation under a Groove... what a great dance track
Number 10 was Driver 67 - Car 67 . Not a favourite but I have not heard this since 1979 I think ?
I am smiling to myself as I am rooting out tracks on You Tube & typing this ......I am in competition with my Teens 'tunes' currently it is this........... perhaps Racey wasn't that bad after all lol

Funkadelic had some amazingly talented groove--and some amazingly gravity-defying hair!!
Confession--I luv Soulja Boy. Don't ask me why. I'm still puzzled about it.
Okay, this makes me feel old. My ex had to explain the expression "superman that ho" to me ... I really had no idea.

CGB- don't tell any one but I quite like it too ..... don't ask me why either coz I can't understand a word of it
tNb you actually could make some words out of it???? what does that mean or don't I want to know!!!!!! >-)
Dp - you are talking rather strange ... you lost your teeth again .
I tell you the thought of you dressed as a priest is way to scary for me to even think about .... thank goodness I am awake imagine that happening in a dream arrrrrghhhhhhh!!!

Write a sentence that contains 'to' 'too' and 'two' correctly, and then see me after class.
