Loads of work, loads of beer, loads of drugs, loads of women, great music, felt safe crawling across the pub car park at night, always woke up somewhere different, always found my way to work on time, always got paid with red 50 quid notes, always got paid on friday, never worked Saturday, never could and still can't do up my 501s right, bookies at 10 am, pub at 10:58 am, p1ssed at 3:05 pm, charlied up.... somewhere.... but always laughing....
We had a decent squad, international players, flair, guile, goals...
I wake up now and wonder why I bothered growing up...
I feel a bucket list coming on, only not things I ain't done ever, things I ain't done for 20 years!
1990 through to 1998 were, for me, the golden years.
Jesus I had some great times.
Always lived in Ealing and worked around West London / the West End / the City so I used to love that you could go into a boozer and it would undoubtably have someone in there you knew. Sometimes with mtes of mates you'd be a 70 strong army from a simple "couple on a Friday night" It's one of the things that I simply cannot get my head around. Where are the 17 to 25 year olds spending their time these days? Any pub back then would have a flock o long and lank haired goons in wallabies etc mooching about. It's no wonder social skills are gone
Blimey - even the violence was better back then.
Raindance, Club UK, Bagleys, Eclipse, Energy, The Living Dream, 1st Bass, 2nd Bass, 3rd Bass, Clockwork Orange...even The GIn Palace... the list goes on
Was there much violence in the 90s? I think I went years without seeing more than a minor scuffle. Obviously there was the odd bit of bother when the police came to shut things down but that's different.
If I was told I only had a couple more years left then a 90's style weekend would be on my list. E is back in the clubs according to the hip and cool radio 1 and X. Makes you wonder why they announce that sort of thing on the radio. BBC tv license doesn't cover all their costs then..
