O/T - 36 Years Ago Tonight ( 11-03-1986 )

[Dubbag]

It was around March 1986 that me and Dubs were searching the skies for what was supposed to be the return of one of our brightest comets. Halley's Comet, but after 76 years since its last glorious appearance it simply turned out to be a damp squib.

Anyway nice one Mick, hope there are many more good years ahead for both of ya.

Thats true.......but never really found it....(never found that "One for me" girl either)..
Mind you I probably spent more time looking for H. Comet then any future wife thingy!!!!

Nice story Mick.......often wondered how I would have turned out if I had of gotten married........I like your story...it is romantic....and I like that....

Met my wife in June '86, we were both in our late te ens then. In some ways it seems like yesterday but we have a twenty one year old son.

So in effect I went to bed aged 19, we have a son who's now older than I was when I went to bed yet I woke up aged fifty four lying next to a fifty two year old woman.

Must have been one wicked night out, it's just a pity I don't know where the time went. And to make matters worse my 17 year old girlfriend woke up in bed with a fifty four year old man 😊 .

Edit: Tell a lie. Just remembered we met in June '87 and NOT '86. My 17 year old girlfriend still woke up with a 54 year old man this morning though, just the same as my 19 year old self woke up beside a 52 year old woman. Nearly 35 years gone seemingly overnight..... in a blink.

In the blinking of an eye......I was living on the Isle Of Wight at the time...........all those years....so strange how some people still "think" like their ****agers....when they are over 50....and I know young people (****agers) who are unbelievable old in "thought".......
Well done the lot of ye for holding on to the good thing in your life.......
