*Better Leave The Light On For Me by Belinda Carlisle is my first musical memory.
It's "Darling, leave a light on for me". Selective memory? :lol:

One of my formative snogging experiences was accompanied by Heaven is a Place on Earth. Belinda and I go back a long way :oops:

And since I probably won't remember in time, happy (premature) 21st.

Sp do you peg cigarette card to your spokes? Or were you more of a 'turn your racing bike hadle bars the wrong way round' kind guy?
:lol:
Definitely the cigarette cards- though to have pegged them to the spokes might have caused more crashes than I managed to have.
The kid round the corner had a green Chopper but with racing handlebars- this was obviously about as cool as wearing both a Bay City Rollers tartan suit AND a Rubettes cap. You just couldn't have both. Right kids? :wink:

I knew I'd get the title wrong. Oh, well, it sounded like "better" to my four-year old ears! :roll: Hey, I used to think Von was singing "Someday, someday, someday.... chlamydia!" :lol:
