Wot the hell were you, in your misspent youth..!

[dannyboy]

Indeed I was.

I spent most of the game growing more and more FED UP at Potter (sat behind me) moaning and calling every Brighton player a dick head.

did he have glasses on? fat ish ? is that withdean wanderer
ive never heard someone moan so much at a match, couldnt believe it , and we were playing pretty well.

That was indeed Withdean Wanderer.

His moaning was no-stop. Even when we were winning.

Still, he had broken his friend's car on the way up so I guess he was in a bad mood...

Birkenhead circa 1979

I'm digging those quarter zip tops

Made by Peter Storm and available in Millets if I remember correctly...

Top casual wear

where's all the e-generation gone? who went to the zap club for tonka and coco club?

a lot of people have referenced the masucine subcultures of 70's and 80's but where were you in '87? dancing on a beach at black rock?

so who was there say 85 to about 96? big beat boutique anyone - queuing up outside the old concorde? i'm talking garry nelson, ecstacy, gulls eye, the balearic beat ...

i was only born in '83 but interested to hear others stories.

Out of my head for most of it, oh, and still am

Er..... it's unique, but a somewhat 'unfortunate' look to have, surely.
He might be alright, but invites the lable 'dick-head' for that style of head fashion.
I notice he is alone, every time I see the bloke, but perhaps he's always 'travelling from one mate to another' (trying to be kind, here).

Anyway, mostly not a haircut I'll be getting this month

How rude, that's my dad. At least he has the guts to be individual.
Can't say a bad word about him, he's always willing to help people out and raised my brother, sister and me single handed, says a hell of a lot about him I think. Anyone who actually takes the time to get to know him, rather than slagging him off on forums, would agree with me.

I was a card-carrying Mod and member of the Jam Army.

I always thought that the old birds in the Womens Institute were "The Jam Army"

I'm not slagging his personality or fatherhood off, actually.
Just saying, as the Simon Cowell of this week's haircuts, that it's a bit of a dodgy 'individual' hairstyle - however you look at it!

Don't worry about it, there are loads of individual hairstyles out there and I bet you will find one or two that you find a bit special as well.
I would imagine he's used to getting occasional shocked and amazed looks - and if he didn't, I'd have to wonder why he wears it that way since you say he's wanting to be individual.

In other words, if you want to stand out - better get a thick skin and be ready for comments you might find rude.

Rode around Horsham on my FS1E generally being a tit

 

[HampshireSeagulls]

his name is mike the spike and has an extreme form of a horseshoe haircut from the early 80s psychobilly scene king kurt / meteors etc.

I had them as well! Went from being a long haired scrote into Motorhead, to a skinhead (and not a nice one) then into psychobilly. Always seemed to go from a flat top into a horseshoe, then into the single fringe.

As I took the Queen's shilling from an early age I had to cram my misbehaviour into a short period around Horsham and Crawley. Used to hang around with a skinhead who got run over in Horsham, forgotten his name now, was a bit of a tit to be honest.

Always had braces down, always scrapping - used to go to the "Disco" at the leisure centre in Horsham park, always got my laces confiscated, but always managed to cut a new set from the blinds using the knife they never found...!

My mate glassed someone in there, he was an absolute **** though and deserved it. I had just joined up and went to court as a witness, perjured the shit out of myself. The prosecution made a big deal out of me being a skinhead but I just kept telling her that I had just joined HMs Finest and I wasn't a skinhead yer honour....! He got off with it and I had couple of rucks with the guys mates when I went back to Horsham, but I was never going to come off worse...they were all drugged up glue wankers and I wasn't!

 

[Jahooli]

Wow . I had one of those .
Forgotten all about it .
Yellow as well , although thought it was more of a golden colour .
L reg . So , 73 / 74 model I would guess .

£3,000 you say . Nostalgia , still a strong market then .

That sounds right, mine was an L plate and was an SS ( stood for "sixteener special" I think) rather than FS1E.

Another common colour for Fizzies was purple.

Skinheads and glue mmmmmmmmmmm who would belive that

yeah i went from stray cat and polecat loving young baby rockabilly into a scooter psychobilly and then full on psychobilly at the klubfoot / Long knives and rumble weekenders even abroard germany/usa/holland/denmark calmed down a bit now and sliding back into rockabilly............. a well known Screwdriver security member tried to get the scooterboys and psychobillies i knocked around with into his kinda thinking,your young and its easy to see why people can get sucked in. However if you can think for yourself you can see through the bullshiit and hypocrisy that these people belive in. Anyway great days.

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

12-14 I was a nutty boy
15-16 I WAS david Sylvian

However in the summer hols I was the disco king at every nighttclub in Brighton that had foriegn students. If you could dance to Hazell Dean or do robotic it was a guaranteed shag.

YEE HAH!!

 

[Woodingdean Gull]

Sorry, have to show my age by confessing to being a mod, first time round.

Hanging around the "Square", outside what used to be an Electricity Board shop at the bottom of North Street.

Going to the Starlight Rooms in Montpelier Road, the Florida Rooms above the Aquarium, and the "101 Club" towards the bottom of West Street.

Owned 2 new Lambretta GT 200's, 1st in 1964, white and gold, second in 1965, metallic mauve and chrome.

Brilliant times.
