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)

Pompa xx

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

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 18:25:24

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

Wobblybits Thu 13-Oct-16 18:20:11

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

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.

No it didn't!!

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

Well, don't we all? grin

A leaf! Good one! grin although, on the subject of leaves, his girlfriend said that he loved a good cup of tea.

whitewave Thu 13-Oct-16 16:16:27

Take a leaf out of Marley's book - ganja is the way to relaxation!

rosesarered Thu 13-Oct-16 16:13:13

Don't ask! grin

NotTooOld Thu 13-Oct-16 16:10:41

PS Which are the bits that wobble? grin

NotTooOld Thu 13-Oct-16 16:10:05

Wobbly - are you actually Pompa, then? I had no idea. How come others know? And you've never upset me either so more peace and love winging their way to you.

rosesarered Thu 13-Oct-16 16:04:36

You are a sensitive soul wobbly and too shy and retiring for GN.smilechill out with a ? peace and love, man.

whitewave Thu 13-Oct-16 15:56:34

Bob Marley!! The essence of the 70s!

Let's go to San Francisco where the flowers grow so very high flowers smile

Re Marmite merlotgran
The fact that the ingredients of Marmite, one of the products at the centre of a price row between Tesco and Unilever, are manufactured in the UK calls into question why the drop in the pound should cause a hike in its price, but its brand power gives the supplier strength in the argument

Blimey strong medication Wobbly!

Wobblybits Thu 13-Oct-16 15:26:36

Merlot, just seen the news, realise what you mean about the last of Marmite now.

Flower Power was late 60's early 70's, which was when we got married, 1967, the summer of love.

Charleygirl Thu 13-Oct-16 15:26:17

You have given me help and advice over the years for which I have been grateful.

whitewave Thu 13-Oct-16 15:24:50

grin stop it!!!!

Wobblybits Thu 13-Oct-16 15:22:52

Jane, if you did upset me, I can't remember and don't intend to try. flowers

Jane10 Thu 13-Oct-16 14:38:03

I was a student then. Lovely clothes. Wasn't into hippy stuff though. Wasn't that more the 60s flower power stuff?
You've never offended me either Wobbly although I think I've upset you before -for which sincere apology.flowers

annodomini Thu 13-Oct-16 14:29:54

The 70s for me were the years of young(ish) motherhood. Small children take up a lot of time and energy; as for peace and love! Peace was at a premium; love...well hmm. We moved from Devon to Nottingham, from there to Leicestershire and on to King's Lynn all in the course of that decade.

Marmite? not for me. I took to Vegemite as it was the only yeast extract to be found in Nairobi in the 60s. I still prefer it.

If you really want to relive go to the brilliant exhibition at V&A museum. It was excellent. DH & I spent a couple of hours reliving 'our time' We met in '66 and married in '71 which was about the span of the exhibition! We also went to the history of underwear exhibition..that was QI too!
