I was two months old when you were born Suzanne so here goes

Great TV, Blue Peter with Valerie, John and Peter
The Banana Splits.
TOTPs
Tiswas
The Young Ones
OTT (see Shanes link :-D)
Friday and Saturday night live.
The Tube

Great music singers and groups and the clothing which went with it
Glam Rock
Punk/New Wave
Two Tone
New Romantic/synth/goth

and you could see groups play at smaller venues and see the whites of their eyes unlike groups/singers nowadays who play huge stadium venues.

Im reliving my youth next month seeing on two seperate occasions but still in smaller venues, Suggs and his one man show and Simple Minds :-D :-D :-D :-D

I think I had my first kiss round about the time you were born! The boy who delivered our milk walked me home from the coffee bar - but my Dad wouldn't let me see him again! :-(

My daughter liked JohnBovi.

Year you were born I was 17 and started work :-( :-( Had my first girlfriend ie went to pictures and held hands with the first girl. And got terrible cramp in my vain attempt to get my arm round her shoulder.

And I think it was all Del Shannon and Bobby Vee on the juke boxes and dansettes - but I stand to be corrected. And Mandy Rice Davies and Christine Keeler in newspapers - wow, that Christine Keeler was attractive.

And I already knew everything about anything - even in 1963 :-D

I remember the year you were born :-)

Rolling with the Stones and screaming at the Beatles (how sad is that) but seriously the old "Life begins at 40" is now life begins at 50 or even 60 so make the most of it. :-D
