39 Years Ago Today..............

[10ClarionSt]

............ABBA won the Eurovision with Waterloo. Chelsea drew 1-1 with Leeds at Stamford Bridge. Manchester City Centre was cordoned off because of an IRA bomb. How do I know these things? I got married that day and we couldn't set off on our honeymoon due to the bomb threat. A great start to married life! Boom!!

or boom bang a bang....

If it is an anniversary you cherish, congratulations on 39 years.

If it is an anniversary you don't, congratulations on getting out.

Either way, I was only 3!

39 years ago today... I was on the verge of being conceived!

Happy Anniversary!

If they were from the AA wouldn't the leader have insisted on drinking soft drinks

10Clarion. Me too but without Michael Owen... what can we do ;-)

[Arksided]

What an impact RVP has had, I really can't remember a player doing so from a rival club since Eric. but he has (RVP) being scoring for his Country.

Was there a bomb here before the 1996 one (I wasn't born 39 years ago)?

Is it this Monday Derby Day? Can pre-plan to get away from the city centre early then - where are they playing?

[Arksided]

Plenty of time for you to be clear of the City centre Eve, being on a Monday it's an evening Kick off at Old Trafford, at Eight.

..... I was 31 and living in a town which has since changed its name !

By one of life's weird coincidences, ten years later I was living in another town which has since changed its name !!

Anyway, Happy Anniversary
