So, where were you 20 years ago?

[ghosty]

I like that 10 years ago thread .... so here's another one ....

20 years ago I was 16, just started Lower 6th at school .... having somehow got myself 7 O Levels (failed Biology and English Lit - lol. Biology because I am not a scientist and English Lit because I had the most boring teacher alive and I think I slept through all his lessons)
Was going out with my first proper boyfriend (like proper long term relationship - ahem, 6 months ... sex and everything ). He wasn't good looking but he was hilarious and had a motorbike )
Was massively into Hockey - played 4 times a week and really into Drama ... was in all school musicals.
It was a good time in my life - although I was grounded for most of it, something to do with boyfriends with motorbikes

erm, no.

I was 24 and a newly comissioned Lieutenant in the Army, the only female in an Infantry Battalion of 600 men...quite daunting actually.

I was 23, so obviously, much more sophisticated than you.

oh well

it was a very big look round our way

i was 19 and had moved to london,working in a publishing company in soho and dating someone 8 yrs older than me

I was 18 and getting ready to go to University. Had met DH that summer and was having a fantastic time. Lots of meals out, late nights, flowers, chocolates, champagne (he had a whopping visa bill). Felt on top of the world in those early heady days of romance (and not being able to keep our hands off each other).

I was 2 so have no idea whatsoever.

I was 8, and probably already becoming disillusioned with being a big sister (sister was 1!).
We'd settled in to our new house in the country and had a springer spaniel called Poppy. I'd got used to the new school in a new area and getting the school bus.
My teacher was a Mrs McKinnon, a bit of a favourite, who left to go and live in Scotland.
I was, most likely, about to be the narrator in the nativity play.

I'd just started 6th form and was drinking copious amounts of cider and vodka, wearing alot of black and trying very hard to be alternative.

Bored to death living in a sleepy Australian town. Just about to start 'A' levels and plotting my escape.

Was in my final year at Uni, was still sh*ing dp (now DH) three times a day, - he couldn't do that now
