My first recollection was 1968 when i was 12yrs old & used to wear flower shirts with penny round collars & matching flower ties plus bell bottom trousers!  :o

Great for going outside in the garden with my girlfriend for a kiss & cuddle amongst the plants cos no bugger could see me as i blended in so well with all the flowers!!  :D

My first girlfriend was a girl called Liz Short who was 5'10'' & i had to stand on a box just to kiss her!  :-*

And if u think thats strange i then went out with her best friend who was called Liz Long & she had to stand on her tip toes to kiss me! I swear on my kids lives that thats a true story - u just couldn't make it up  :-/

Such clear memories, my best 'pulling' shirt and tie were green flower patterns on a white background and brown flares, school disco 1971, won prize, with Maureen Gibson, deep brown eyes :D :D for best dancers..... ;D ;D ;D :y
Stop this, taking me back to far.... ::) ::)

Hey where would we be without the glorious memories of our 1st true love ...... it's the only thing that gets me through my last true love..... and on that note 'she' is calling out (more like howling like a werewolf!) to me to get me to come to bed as she's reminding me that i have to take the kids to school in the morning, make breakfast, wash up, hoover ....... oh what joy it is to be married!!!!!  :( :( :(

That would of been hard to reach from the back seat but if you had longer arms then you might of done ;D ;D ;D ;D

 ;D ;D ;D That's true.

Mind you, Maria, you didn't mention hot pants. Whilst in my loft I found a programme for the John Player European Grand Prix at Brands Hatch back in 1970-something. The JPS team hired load of leggy blondes wearing black T-shirts and tight gold hot pants to hand out free fags. :yIt was all a bit too much for an innocent boy like me.  ;) ;D ;D


1973 iirc, cos I was there, and took the fags...... :D :D
Free transport and entrance, went when I was at HMS Ganges, so 15 going on 16 at the time........... ;D ;D ;D

Bloody Hell! I was in the 1969 Intake! How Ancient am I ? :-/ ;)

Nickbat, the first 100 issues of Tiger all are worth a few bob (a non-mint issue one sold at auction this year for around $900 in the states - first appearance of roy of the rovers) i'd reckon on getting £10 for anything in good condition from issue 2-10, then maybe £5 each from 11 to 100, any annuals are worth money too, even up to the 80's but not the kind of stuff I sell...unfortunately  - I'll keep a look out for anyone who's interested in them  :y

Very kind offer Pitchfork but sadly I think it would be a waste of time nowadays. I think what talent I had must have disappeared with my hair. :'( ::)
