Listening to an 18th birthday party next door

Bless em. They are singing along to Fat Back classic.

From the outside in, they are singing 'aaa. faaand. love.' 'Sum buddee, to treat me raaght.'

I wonder if I sounded that bad in 1986!

I think it's going to be a long night, but hey, you're only 21 once!

Oh, I switched ages then! Shes18. Defo 18!

Will you still be so jovial at 3am? 😂 for what it’s worth, you sound like a nice neighbour! I hate teenagers, but I like hearing people having fun, and it is only once!

I'll be blissfully unaware at 3am. I sleep like the dead!

And I work in a secondary school, so this weekend I have forgotten how shit they can be. Back to work Monday. I give it til Wednesday before I remember I don't like them either!!!

I'm singing it now in that exact same way you've written it 😂

. It's the only way Pompom! I am a veteran of the Kent Soul Festivals of yester year! I was there, when it all happened. Fat Back, Maze, Cameo, Caister Soul weekends. You name it.

They were very good times.
