First girlfriend/boyfriend

[PaulB]

I well remember my first girlfriend, Lola.


I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne
It tastes just like Coca Cola, C-O-L-A cola


There was something slightly funny about her that I could never put my finger on though.

Her name was Katie
We were 14
She was a Hippy
It lasted two years
She went to Oxford and later became a Librarian for an Oxford Collage
A decade later I met the wife
Not really a hippy, and never went to a top University
But is a Liberian in Rotherhithe
I met Katie at a party a month ago, first time in 20+ years, nothing has changed and looking at the pictures she and the wife could be sisters .......

I had spent ages putting on hair gel to the extent that my hair was more like a bizarre-looking helmet and was plastered to my head.

AH HA!! so THAT explains your Avatar picture!!

Brains, it is unusual for someone from Liberia to be living in Rotherhithe, isn't it?

There was something about my first girlfriend I couldn't put my finger on as well. I tried though. By God I tried!

Ha ha ha! I remember going to a party where Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger' was playing. I was maybe eleven? I was wearing a halter neck polka dot dress and socks with frills on, a winner with my jelly sandals. (OMG)
I felt so grown up but the boys all stayed on one side of the room, and the girls on the other. Cringe-making.

I remember my first disco and it was much the same... boys on one side, girls on the other, no one dancing... I was about 8 or 9 and the only memorable thing is getting ribbed at school the following Monday for wearing wellies.

No, it was a flag of convienance

a good many people on this forum will have met my first serious girlfriend. The 'genteel' ride was invented for her. Almost forty years on we're still best friends.

"You're a really nice guy, but there's just something I can't put my finger on...

Literally."
