    I remember getting my first "continental quilt" aged about 21. It felt like something yer Granny would disapprove of and regard as no better than it ought to be like fondue sets and Black Forest Gateau.
    The problem of actually getting the quilt into the cover had me stumped fir a while and I distinctly remember using a cricket bat to get inside and flatten it out!

    We had an old record player and I came in with mungo Jerry's single in the summer time. It was in stereo and my mother wouldna let me play it and sent me back to the shop with it. FFS what exactly did she think was going to happen.

    What she did NOT think, Ian, was that you were going to end up cornering the market in the world's resources of Heavy Metal music, you great headbanger! :)

    Talking to my kids a few weeks back about Christmas presents when I was a similar age to them and I mentioned about one of my best Christmas presents being a Pioneer HiFi back in the late 80s, I was genuinely spoiled that year. My kids response - "What's a HiFi?"........

    Bruce Rioch, Joe Jordan, Kenny Dalglish. Or was Dalglish too young for 74?

    He was around but not sure if he played. Our group if I remember was Yugoslavia, Brazil and an African mob. Might have been Zaire

    Wasn't Brazil-Zaire the game when the Brazilian free-kick was booted absolutely miles by a Zaire player who came charging out of the wall?

    It was the Zaire player's way of protesting about human rights abuses at home.

    I wasn't born but have seen it.

    Not so long back I had to explain to my soon to be daughter in law who Simon le Bon was. One of those 'you know you're getting old' moments.
