1970's mood

Good morning all, I suspect it might be the cocktail of drugs I'm on ATM, but I'm in a very 1970's mood, peace and love to everyone, now if only I could grow my hair again (and get up if I sat cross legged)

SO :-

To all those that I have upset in any way over the past years as WB, Pompa, BOGOFF or any other name that i have flounced back from, I apologise.

I know I have upset some Gners, but never intentionally. I can honestly say that there is not a single Gner that I would not love to meet for a coffee in real life. I have only ever met one, but maybe there will be another day.

So please accept this apology as it is intended and hugs to you all (even the blokes)

Well, don't we all? grin

Wobblybits your posts always make me smile so I hope you don't get the feeling you can fly on that cocktail of drugs, and take a leap from the bedroom window shock Remember LSD still meant £sd in the early 70s grin

No it didn't!!

I'm sure Ganja would work, never tried it and Mrs P wouldn't let me now.

I'm taking Fluoxitine (depression) Naproxene 500 mg and 8 30/500 co-codemol a day. Nothing too extreme and the Dr has approved, although he only wants me to take the naproxene it I really need it. The morphine in the Co-codemol does calm things down grin. I am a lot more mobile now the pain is reduced.

Which bits wobble -- far more that the three acceptable ones.

Psst -- anyone want to buy a jar of Marmite, just been to Tesco and the shelves are bare !

Penstemmon Thu 13-Oct-16 18:25:24

I see thare has been a Marmite agreement between unilever and tesco..peace man, peace!

Wobblybits Thu 13-Oct-16 18:39:41

Well there you go, perhaps my spreading love and peace has worked. But now what do I do with the 50 jars of Marmite I have just bought hmm

Penstemmon Thu 13-Oct-16 18:42:26

In true (pre thatcher) 70s spirit you give them away or else post Thatcher sell to the highest bidder grin

I did make a suggestion to MRs P regarding the Marmite, but she wasn't keen sad

I'm not surprised!

Just think, Bob Dylan has won the Nobel Prize for Literature - and Will Gompertz compared him to Shakespeare!!

Lovely, thoughtful lyrics but not Shakespeare
And a terrible voice to go with it
'One More Cup of Coffee' is hardly Hamlet .....

1967!!

Wobblybits Thu 13-Oct-16 19:37:27

Why "1967 !!" ??

Jalima Thu 13-Oct-16 19:39:26

That's when the Beatles recorded 'All you need is love'

(it is, isn't it?)

Ana Thu 13-Oct-16 19:42:35

Yes - it was in the Magical Mystery Tour film.

Wobblybits Thu 13-Oct-16 19:50:28

Good year then 1967 smile

Ana Thu 13-Oct-16 19:54:06

Can't remember...confused

Falconbird Thu 13-Oct-16 20:39:48

1970 - my first baby was born. When I look at old photos I'm shocked by how short my maternity dresses were.

You've never upset or shocked me Wobbly, just made me smile.

Worried about the Marmite situation. Don't like Vegemite.

70s favourite decade...met my lovely hubby in 76 ..married in November 1979 just as decade ended.....on 5th decade together now

Alima Thu 13-Oct-16 21:35:35

Loved the 70's, the music, the flares, everything in the best possible taste. Keep chillin' Wobbly.

Judthepud2 Thu 13-Oct-16 21:59:47

60's was my time and 1967 was my favourite year! Last half of 70's was a blur of babies, nappies and broken nights ?

Wobblybits Thu 13-Oct-16 22:05:42

Same here JTP, met my wife in '63, married in '67, first pregnancy in '74 but our first baby in'76, then I was critically ill in '79. So the 60's > 70's were pretty eventful for us. Loved the late 60's

pensionpat Thu 13-Oct-16 22:20:53

Wobbly bits. We too got married in 1967. On 30th Sep, which, as we all know, was the day that Radio 1 started.
