early 80`s went with load of mates to see quadrophenia at the flicks.....within a week we were all riding scooters, wearing parkers, two tone suits and loafers, the second coming of the mods had arrived and i loved every minute of it...all night parties, birds, booze, illegal substances and fist fights with the rockers.....ahhh...those were the days !!

[hipshaker]

mogwai & uncle porry ...... either of you still got scooters?

I've got a TV200 ..... there's a pic on another thread, the one about bike mags I think.

Oh well

The term refers to Signals guy's who carried the radio back-packs in the WW2, they were always leaking acid.......hence having a scaley back!

I did 7 years with the Royal Signals 82-89, I also found the fun wore off (having a d**k head in charge never helps).

For the first 2 months of training never a night went past without the Human League Dare album being played. Now Phil had a proper hair style don't you think?

[hipshaker]

Not sure if you've kept abreast of prices ........ might be a little surprised if you haven't.

Getting one in time for next year's IOW perhaps??

[uncle porry]

similarly, i remember Tpau's first album being played non-stop for two weeks while on adventure training in Bavaria . . . . . . . at first i hated it, then it grew on me - must have been all the beer that went with it

apparently Carol Decker is still at it, touring etc
