    The Sixties. Were you there ?...

    I was in my twenties, sharing a flat in West London with two other lads, and the world really was my oyster. We were the only males in an all female house. What an education.

    Anyway I look back and find it hard to believe just how promising life felt. Anything seemed possible. You could practically be what you wanted, do what you wanted or go wherever you felt like.

    No job shortages. Great pay and you could walk out of one job and in to another in the same day.

    If you have memories of living through the revolution. I would love to read about your exploits/experiences, be they good or bad.

    Lets have it !, warts and all ?... :)

    OK, more on The House of disrepute!

    First instalment [1]

    Myself and two male friends decided it would be cheaper if we shared one decent flat rather than the 3 bedsits we were existing in.

    The flat we found was a real gem. A young males real fantasyland as we were to find out. It was on the ground floor of a completely refurbished four story house, and as it was on the ground floor we were the only people in the house with access to the garden. Naturally, all the 17/18 old gorgeous females were hammering on our door asking if they could sunbathe in our garden. Well, before we had time to turn around we had a private garden full of bikini clad sun worshipping scrumptious and frisky young women.

    As for the three of us. We kept bumping into each other as we wandered around gazing with disbelief at the bevy of beauties spread out in all their splendour just outside our patio doors.

    Little did we know about what was too follow!... watch this space
    ;)

    Come on, don't leave me hanging (ohohoho)!

    NBM,

    Looks to me as though people are not really interested in the 'Sixties' or my 'House of Disrepute'. So, I think I will let sleeping dogs lie, for now.

    The saying goes: "If you can remember the sixties, you weren't there".

    I can't remember the sixties. So was I there or not? ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,797 ✭✭✭Paddy20


    Lemming,

    As I and a lot of my 'old' friends were there, and can remember most things. I must conclude that you were probably not even born then.

    As for that saying " If you can remember the sixties, you weren't there ". Thats a load of unsmokable s*** ;) Probably stated by some pothead.
