The R.I.P. Thread

[Keef]

Think you meant Lockerbie rather than Dunblane.

No I meant dunblane, I mentioned Lockerbie earlier in the thread.
Even though you were wrong, thanks anyway for trying to tell me what I thought at the time.

That’s a bit fucking unnecessary isn’t it?

Jeez lads!
My first biggest was when I was at primary school and Manchester United crashed in the dark snow of Munich.
No idea why, but I remember telling kids about Duncan Edwards and Harry Gregg. I was about 8 or 9.

First real story I remember was the Galahad getting blown up then Scargill and the miners strike a few year later. I was all of 7/8

I've said on here before, but the Miners was an interesting one as a kid. I was 11/12, but the media narrative was very much good vs evil. I'm looking at you John Craven

I remember my Dad taking me out into the veranda and showing me the moon and explaining what was happening, I was 3

I can remember John Stonehouse being in the news, presumably for faking his own death which was 1974 when I would have been 3

Kennedy assassination for me, I think it was a Friday and me and my Sister always watched Ready Steady Go, I remember asking my Dad if it was still alright if we watched it.

I remember BBC news with the miners and seeing the police charge them.

Didn't have an opinion as I was 8/9.

I remember my mum, dad and I going to my gran's on the Friday teatime and my gran saying how terrible it was about JFK's assassination.

Veranda? Were the servants allowed out too?

I remember Gargarin being the first human to travel into space (Vostok 1, April 1961).

Forgive me for finding that hard to believe...

I can remember my dad being very upset over Elvis popping his clogs
