We rented a room in a big house - there were beds, a sofa a tv and a table in the room but we had to share the toilet, bathroom and kitchen with other renters.Fun times

Garfield May 2020 8:08am, 24 May 2020 12,790 posts	Quote Pin Garfield Live Aid - just after I finished second year university. I ended up taking two years off then as I'd had a foul year that year and didn't touch a piano for well over a year, I was so fed up with things. From what a friend of mine says (had same piano teacher in uni), she was equally traumatised by the teacher.
Sigh May 2020 9:27am, 24 May 2020 6,364 posts	Quote Pin Sigh Live Aid; in the summer between lower & upper 6th form. Had no money. Spent most of the day watching it on the TV except for the bands I didn't like. Then I mooched outside; I seem to recall it was a bit overcast I lost interest when it switched to the evening in the US only, and I missed the disastrous performance by Led Zeppelin.
