Any advice?

Start planning what YOU want to do. Otherwise you become available and end up with no free time.

Was that the one where he had a fat mate called Soggy?

Yep, I vaguely remember it

There was also a girl called Jackie in it, who I had a crush on

I was only about 7 though, so...

Can't remember the name of the pub that was just at the left of the photo above the tunnel entrance but was watching the European Cup final Panathinaikos v Ajax on a foggy evening while someone nicked the Rolls Royce generator that was bolted to two railway sleepers just inside the tunnel.

Was going to post this in the 'are we all becoming woke snowflakes' thread, but felt it might be better appreciated in here lol
From Eric Bogle's 'silly slang'

Do you remember the day that if you said you were gay
It meant with joy, you could sing and shout?
A fairy was enchanting, and dressing up and camping
Was something you did with the scouts
That carefree age when an urgent case of aids
Was powdered milk we sent to the Sahara
A fruit was something nice to eat, a poof was something for your feet
And a queen was an old tart in a tiara
Ah, those far off times when a bong meant a chime
And a buzz was a noise insecticidal
A joint was something between bones, and getting really stoned
Only happened to bad people in the Bible
When if you had a bad trip, it meant you fell and broke your hip
Cold turkey just meant Christmas at Aunt Dottie's
Coke was something that you burned, smack was something that you earned
From your mumzie wumzie when you had been naughty
The years have gone I'm afraid, when only eggs got laid
And only the rhinoceros got horny
Only kangaroos jumped, and only camels humped
Getting stuffed meant a little taxidermy
Swinging was for trapezes, or Tarzan's chimpanzees
Tossing off was something Scotland did with cabers
Now it means something quite obscene
And heavy ugly scene is any movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

They're only words, and words are what we use when we got sod all to say. ?
