It's what would take place before anything else, I think. Been so long now I wouldn't know where to begin.

HATED-absolutely HATED all the 'chat' as you refer to it,Donal.

'Do you come here often'...'what music do you like'...'can I walk you home'. Ugh. Half the time the girls didn't know if you were just out for a quick shift or really wanted to get to know them.

I do remember the unspoken rule was,the first slow set you could dance,the second,if you brought your face close enough and she responded by bringing hers to yours,it was OK to kiss.

If you could walk her home,it was a date,and if you asked to go for a walk in St Annes the next day,you were an item.

Hiya June, hope you're well!

We danced for the slow set but it was pretty obvious that we werent really compatible - should have guessed from the garb she was wearing - pinks and pastel colours - very "saturday night fever".  Anyway, it didnt become too much of an issue because she "went to the loo" and didnt return!!   (saw her at the end of the night, leaving with some other bloke!!)

I used a "just going down to my mates" excuse once (and only once!) and I felt so guilty after.  The guilt was compounded later when I went up to the stage close to 1pm to ask Cecil to play a song and, as I was leaving, I saw the girl I had scarpered from standing on stage, giving me daggers!  If you're reading this, *girl in question*, sorry about that!

Jaysis Mel it was you! remember that night well, thought you were the bees knees and that things were going well, until you said you were going down to see a  mate for a moment and you'd be back.

Waited through two slow sets all by myself. Then spent the rest of the time on the stage alone. Took me ages to recover from that rejection, been in therapy for years after...

 

 

sorry only pulling your leg

Ah - why did nobody explain these "unwritten rules". Too late now Martin. So when I asked three or four question and tried a mooch, I was an entire slow set too early? Explains a lot

The "chat" was a vital necessity. Many moons back I "got off" with what I thought was a fine thing on a Saturday night in the grove, only to be greeted by huge laughter on the Monday morning. The friend we had in common informed that this girl was three years younger than she had let on. she was a second year or some such.

After that, there were a few extra questions thrown into the "interrogation" to try and ensure that didn't happen again. The cunning ask the same question in three different ways and see does she trip herself up with the answers.

Remember another night very early in my grove days (or maybe even a social in Paul's?). Must have been very early because the auld fella gave me a lift home. He noticed something, turned out it was puke on the shoulder of my jacket.

Now, I can understand the girl in question (I assume a slow set was the lost likely place to get someone puking on you?) feeling a bit queasy, but puking on me. Was that really necessary

Uggghhh at that story Whipper!!  Did you start asking them to quote from whatever play was on for the Leaving or something to verify their age? 

THose unspoken rules are interesting - the wait till second slow set for a shift rule was well gone when I was there, sometimes the lads didn't wait till the end of the first song!!!

Think I know someone who can better that,'Snapper (or 'worse' it)...we'll call him Kev (cos I know he doesn't be on here) was slow dancing with someone who he had his eye on and,as she was drunk she too puked during the dance.

Trouble is,they were snogging at the time...

Don'r mean to lower the tone or anything but this did happen-I know this was an urban myth for a while in the 80's but poor Kevvy-it happened to the poor sod.
