Shit was school.
I’ve been thinking about Shelly Watson, a girl I used to go out with in Pontefract, back in 1982. A love from long ago, when life was such a show. We were together in a loving bond. So warm in days of joy and total love, with friends behind us, and a peace like that of the dove, warm like a glove. Shelly, Shelly, remember me…
OLD DIARY ENTRIES…
This time 8 years ago:
‘I watched Doctor Who: The Invisible Enemy (Part Three).’
This time 4 years ago:
‘I bought Smash Hits for the Adam Ant poster.
It also featured stuff on Duran Duran, Madness, The Jam, Altered Images and Hazel O’Connor...

‘Paul (Jack's dad) came down to stay with us. He pretended he was a toothpaste salesman to the customers in the pub. I bought some more comics and watched Marilyn Monroe in All About Eve…
…but she was hardly in it.’
