18.......I was going to raves and Brighton clubs, taking lots of drugs and having a great time. A-levels weren't a massive priority, although knuckled down in the second year.
It is brilliant what Ferguson is doing, he comes across SO well on interviews.

I was nutmegging Angelo Anastasio in a pro-am ‘sacker game‘ in Thousand Oaks, California, having just graduated from High School out there.

Had my 18th birthday in Hong Kong on the Ark Royal. Woke up on a sampan by the family who owned it. They wanted to go to sea, selfish twats.

My grandson sent me a tweet last Sunday evening from his student room in Newcastle Uni, saying he felt old! Ferguson was 18 last October and my grandson was 18 last June.
What hope is there for the rest of us?

Living in a shared house in George St, Brighton, constantly smashed, working shit jobs to finance getting smashed. That's about all the detail I remember

Trying to break the 10 pint barrier, not sure I was proud of that time

Started that year as a very naive 18 year old fresh out of school, ended it with six months traveling across Africa where I grew up fast!
Celebrated my release after ten years locked away in boarding school.
I had a lot of catching up to do, but I loved discovering freedom and was able to become my real self.
Also hitchhiked down to Italy that summer, with my best mate.
Happy days and FREEDOM
Bloody hell, it was 57 years ago!

Falling into hedges on the way home from watching The Motion, Orange Bicycle and others at Haywards Heath's Pilgrim and flopping out at home with a bucket by the bedside to puke in and missing it.

18 is a hideous age to be.

Which Ark Royal? The 70’s (Rod Stewart Sailing ship) or the Invincible class version?

Rod Stewart Sailing fame. I was on the commission before Sailing! Just my luck, it was the only commission that didn't go stateside I think. The Invincible version looked like the height of luxury to me. I slept in a hammock!

I was still at primary school, but remember that TV series well. A boys thing? …. I found/find warships fascinating. This year’s BBC tv series about the QE was fantastic. And I have motion sickness
You must have amazing memories.

Thanks very much! Way to make me feel old or what? Fact is I am very old, 75, and I only remember the good times mostly. No idea how I got here. I remember calling 30 year old 3 badge men silly old gits at one time. When you are 18 they did seem ancient, I remember that.I was still at primary school, but remember that TV series well.

I was an apprentice with BCal and bought my first property.
