And a bunch of 40+ ravers trying to pretend they're still cool!

Oh dear I remember seeing the odd 'old person' dancing madly and thinking I'll never do that (and I was right I wouldn't!). They were probably younger than me now. Did you have those too?

MarshaBrady · 25/09/2013 10:09

Usually some guy tripping alone.

shopafrolic · 25/09/2013 10:13

Yup. For a modern day equivalent head to CyberDog in Camden at about 11am on a SUnday morning - there's always a 60 year old dancing like a nutter to rave music absolutely off his head from the night before!

Oh god Cyberdog- haunt of my Daughter during her university days. Some wonder that she got a first Grin

MarshaBrady · 25/09/2013 10:24

Lol! True. Did you see Spaced Out about ten years ago ? TV not that funny in retrospect but the scene where he hears music from kettle etc the next day made me laugh. Actually a whole host of adverts do that music thing now.

OneLittleLady · 25/09/2013 10:39

It's Spaced marsha and it's Tyres that hears the rave music from the kettle, the clock, the phone and the dog chewing his bone thingy Wink

I've some photos kicking around somewhere I'll try and add when I find them

MarshaBrady · 25/09/2013 10:47

That's it! I wonder if that's where those NYC juice ads got the idea from. All those music pattern ones.

OneLittleLady · 25/09/2013 10:49

Maybe they did. The Spaced bit was well done though, makes me laugh every time I watch it. That whole episode was well done I thought.

shopafrolic · 25/09/2013 10:49

Do some work Marsha :)

Lol am not actually at work yet. Am traversing London right now. Currently in Shorediych to pick some thing up from dh. Going to cafe to read now, pre-meeting.

MarshaBrady · 25/09/2013 10:55

Only half day today in case anyone is thinking am slack!

BrandyAlexander · 25/09/2013 11:11

Morning all! Back in Blighty on way home! Called my PA and first thing she said was "right, what have you lost?" Anni, I promise you, I have a proper job where people actually think I am organised.....SsshhhWink

One of my best nights clubbing ever was in Heaven. My gay friend used to take me to the most fab places. He's all sensible now too. Sob.

mignonette · 25/09/2013 11:20

Waves at Marsha You are in my home manor. Have a good day all of you. Am en route to DV's, walking for a pleasant change. Feeling good in my ACNE crepe soled ankle boots, pale coffee coloured straight leg pants from GAP and gold sweatshirt from Rodarte that I was given by a fashion friend as a sample that never went into production. It has a golden cornfield type print on it.

MarshaBrady · 25/09/2013 11:47

Hi Mig waves. On way to next place. New route I. Bus, missed stop damn!

Sleepwhenidie · 25/09/2013 11:47

Grin at all the clubbing stories! I was a regular at the Leopard Lounge and Clapham Grand (Dr Glitz) when I first came to London. And DH used to co-own G-A-Y so I had my hen night at GAY Late, it was a riot Smile...not sure doing the splits was the best look in retrospect however Hmm.

mignonette · 25/09/2013 11:51

Got to be the candidate for best ever hen night Sleep.

BrandyAlexander · 25/09/2013 12:01

Omg I loved GAY! Boob tube,hot pants, boots and no one bothering me. And the best goddam tunes on the planet! Great times.

QueenCadbury · 25/09/2013 12:34

Wearing grey today for a grey mood Sad. Nothing wrong at all, just hormonal. Loving all this club talk though. Used to love GAY. When dd goes to bed I will find out some photos of me.

santamarianovella · 25/09/2013 13:40

im loving all the clubbing talk,i was not that into clubbing,used to go with my friends to some clubs in soho,but it came to an end when i once had way too many and ended up in A&E,with dehydration and a really bad cut on the side of my forehead that needed cosmetic stitching. shop wish i had known you! you rock!

queen try to relax,hope you feel better.

back to fashion, i went to LV today and was so overwhelmed, i saw the scarf linus mentioned and its beautiful,and i loved the plain black one,very understated and i know it will look good with everything ,but i so want a pop of color,will link my two choices for votes,when DD naps.

QueenCadbury · 25/09/2013 13:52

Nothing like looking at old photos to make you Smile and eating dairy milk. I don't seem to have any photos from my London days when I was obviously more sophisticated than the pics I've posted of me at uni!

AmberNectarine · 25/09/2013 14:06

How funny Sleep, I was mates with a few of the G-A-Y DJs and spent pretty much every Fri & Sat night in there. Haven't been since it moved to Heaven though.

santamarianovella · 25/09/2013 14:39

So this is the gorgeous navy and beige,its gorgeous,and really big you can throw it on anything and it will look very stylish...but it won't go with any oh my coat,apart from the navy moncler one,

And this is the black one, it looks really nice and maybe its the continental part of me ,leaning towards the black one,its safe but not exciting, opinions?

Sorry if I don't make sense ,but its causing havoc on my brains,thinking about it!

Drywhiteplease · 25/09/2013 15:09

God I lived a sheltered life!
Prepare yourselves permtastic about to hit you know where........
