[Misc] What were YOU like at 18?

[SK1NT]

Enjoyed watching and doing sport, but spent most my time with mates playing goldeneye in my bedroom. Didn't really like going out. Didn't have a clue about what i wanted to do in life and was a bit of a lazy git. Didn't want to start work and 25 years on can't wait to finish work.... at least i am consistent.

 

[Stat Brother]

That's no way to speak of your late father

I doubt one of the purposes of NSC is for you to crack jokes about a complete strangers deceased parent.

 

[smillie's garden]

A bit pretentious. My politics today are the same though: anti-capitalist.

Having a whale of a time in the Navy. Bristol Beer Keller 1976 ?

 

[worthingweird]

Gorgeous...

 

[zefarelly]

18, whizzing round on a Lambretta getting pissed/stoned listening to records, playing in a band working to fund it all. Over 33 years later nothing much has changed.

Oh come on, you know I'm not meaning any offence and the joke isn't at your father's expense.

That was when I knew everything, before I discovered that I didn't

That correlates with my having had the ability but not the skill, now I have the skill but not the ability.

36-24-36 and 5’ 7”

I’m still 5’ 7”……………!!!

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Motorbike mad ...
Night-clubbing weekends - shagging whenever the opportunity arose.
Worked hard, always skint!
Like others, thought I knew it all ...

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Moved to Brighton after A levels to study at Brighton Polytechnic and have never looked back. Spent most of the first year watching as much live music as possible and frequenting The Basement and Gloucester nightclubs. Zap and Escape also played a huge part.

What WERE you like, not what DID you like

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Are you Garry Nelson's right foot?

That sounds an incredible amount like me, his left. Your last two sentences are exactly why I moved to Tokyo!

That's Fat Stan and the way he used to drink etc I very much doubt if he made old bones.
A very funny bloke though

A bit pretentious. My politics today are the same though: anti-capitalist.

This is a good point. I voted for Maggie when I was 18 I wasn’t pretentious at that age either.

 

[The Clamp]

Thought I was gonna change the world. Then I found out about bills and taxes.

1974 - following the Albion and booze, nighclubbing and going out with a girl called Linda from Moulsecoomb and her parents let me stay Saturday nights so we could sleep together (well not sleep actually) Funnily enough her two brothers also had their girlfriends over most weekends as well, doing the same thing. A little bit of heaven for a young lad until a couple of months later she wanted to get engaged, she had already told her parents we were going to . . . good things tend not to last.
