great stories guys,and they brought back memories,so tanx for helping me remember.My pet hate back then was(and it happened regularly),a really good looking girl would come up and start talking to me,and l'd be thinking happy days,then the bombshell"will u dance with my friend?",and point out a girl that was lets say,in a different league,and when l'd say no,they would call u mean and storm off,at least l had a few mates with no standards,who would dance with "the friend",as they used to say it was a guaranteed snog,ha ha

I NEVER asked anyone 'would you like to come out to the compund?' as that (in my head) sounded like I would have been after only one thing and I didn't want to frighten anyone off. In fact if someone did say yes to a dance I was grateful enough for that. I had a HORRIBLE experience in the compound one night. I was going a with a girl and it wasn't going well,not working out and I didn't really want to go any longer but didn't know how to 'break it off' (God-isn't that a real teenage expression?) And just as I was rehearsng the words in my head she said 'wait-before you say anything,here's your birthday present' and gave me a watch! Gobsmacked,I took it and thanked her,and then (you know what's coming next) she said 'what were you going to say?' and I then broke it off! Terrible. Who'd be a teenager. |
