When I Was Twenty One

It Was A Very Good Year*

Jeez, where did it all go wrong? Was I ever that young?

I remember getting a fair amount of stick for the 'Baader Meinhof' look I sported at the time and, yes, we all had shaggy perms at the time, alright?


Edit: This was my first full passport, before that you could buy them over the counter in the Post Office with no ID!. The purchase of this and subsequent travel that followed has shaped my life and who I am ever since. Or has it? Maybe that was me anyway, just at home.
