what I find funny is that since Andy revived the Grove,I've been going 15 years now,as opposed to 4 years when I went to St. Pauls

Lol, that's good point Sean. Mind you, I've only been at this "new" Grove since May this year, but I have no doubt, in 15 years time when they finally get me into "the big house", I'll still be ranting on about stuff - it'll probably all be telepathic by then!
 We'll still be trying to find ways to entice people on to the show

Haha - good point Sean. I went from 78/79 until around 1984 or 1985 on a regular basis (that's about 7 years or so). Been going to the reunions since 2006, so that's 12 years right there. Mad! Never thought of it like that.

Mel,when I went to St. Pauls,I went with the same mates all the time,and cant say I ever made new friends ( girlfriends excluded ) but since the revival,I have made new friends,from different eras of the Grove...so in my opinion,the 'new' Grove is far better than when we were teens,dont get me wrong,I loved St. Pauls,but we never had meet ups like we do now,its more a social club now than ever

I remember that my circle of friends - both lads and girls - widened considerably after going to the Grove. Some of our crew had other friends and we grew into a bit of a mob (for want of a better phrase) and we hung out down the back of the hall and then hit the park on a Sunday or went to someone's house (usually Bugzy's house down near the Shieling). Some on here will remember Bugzy and her "Goon room" - basically a den/room where there was a record player and records upstairs and we'd all head in there, smoke cigarettes and draw artwork or write poetry/songs on her walls - the room had no wallpaper and she encouraged us to be creative. Great, great days.

Toys! Toys?...you are lucky. All we had to play with was a stick and bicycle tyre...Soccer Ball! Soccer Ball/...our soccer ball was made out of newspaper!
I'll be using that every time my wife gets upset– "Hey!---don't throw your toys out of the pram"

So sorry I missed last nights show.
Where I am had no wifi working at 5.30am when I tried to tune in. The signal can be erratic where I'm staying. Hope the show was a success as the theme for the show was a great idea and I had a song requested. 😢😭😭😭 |

May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.
