Sorrel, when was the wedding? While Brother Beyond were famous or years later? (please tell me it was years later! Wink Grin)

Sparklingbrook · 17/08/2013 22:57

Aww thanks 4. Smile

Not music but the trailer to the best 80s film ever made, and my favourite of all time .

Loved Black!

Shaky · 17/08/2013 22:57

the first record I ever bought

4forkssake · 17/08/2013 22:59

Oh black, wonderful life Smile

I used to go to a local tv show to watch it being recorded (like TOTP but not!) & met so many of the groups, singers mentioned on here. Brings back lots of memories of lovely, carefree, happy times Smile

I was in my element in the 80s - I spend most Friday nights youtubing 80s crap Grin

4forkssake · 17/08/2013 23:01

You're welcome sparkling. And about last night, also fabulous. The outsiders is one of my all time faves (& not just for that shower scene Wink), but I also love st Elmos fire & about last night. Have you seen masquerade?

This song is very bittersweet, memories of a very special friend. We used to lie on a mattress in his room listening to Talk Talk with his lava lamp. He was killed in a car crash a few years later. A friend had passed her driving test a few days before and was driving a Metro with five of them in it. The car turned over and they were all killed....... Sad

4forkssake my embarrassing claim to fame is that I vomited on 'Black's' (Colin Verncombe) lovely leather brogues in a club in Liverpool in 1988

Shaky · 17/08/2013 23:02

I used to love this

FacebookWanker · 17/08/2013 23:03

Loving this thread. Another great reminder from Pat Fenis.

I'm not sure if our wedding can still go ahead after DP uttered the words "Adam Ant was rubbish" Shock

The sex god that was Michael Hutchence

Shaky · 17/08/2013 23:05

this brings back memories of being 15

SorrelForbes · 17/08/2013 23:05

4forkssake It must have been around 87/88. I can't remember tbh, I was very drunk and there were a lot of young sailors around Grin

ImpulsePineapple · 17/08/2013 23:06

That was my brother's first single Shaky!

cocolepew · 17/08/2013 23:06

It was all Prince for me and anyone connecrted to him.
The Time, Wendy and Lisa, Sheila E, Taja Seville etc.
I spent a lot of time in purple satin shirts Blush

Rhubarb78 · 17/08/2013 23:08

St elmos fire is a tune and a half and almost every song on smash hits '88

SorrelForbes · 17/08/2013 23:08

Me and a group of friends watched Purple Rain on VHS every Saturday for about a year!

Rhubarb78 · 17/08/2013 23:09
