Where Were You When
Paul tagged me in the Where Were You When meme.
Princess Diana's death - 31 August 1997
In bed. My radio alarm clock came on, and I couldn't work out why Extra AM (now long-defunct, but I can still hear the jingles) was playing endless classical music. And then the hourly news came on. I went to Drayton Manor Park that day. Everybody seemed to move slowly, and it rained.
Margaret Thatcher's resignation - 22 November 1990
No idea. I was seven, so probably under my mother's feet.
Attack on the twin towers - 11 September 2001
In my car, sitting at a junction right here. I heard the breaking news alert on the Steve Wright show. Being the innocent that I was, I assumed it was due to some awful navigation-system problem.
England's World Cup Semi Final v Germany in - 4 July 1990
Was this the one where Paul Gascoigne cried? I have a vague memory of seeing that. It's unlike me to watch football, though, and memories from that long ago (particularly of famous images) aren't reliable. So I don't know.
President Kennedy's Assassination - 22 November 1963
I wasn't even an idea for a picnic. Hell, my parents weren't at secondary school yet.
Most people have been tagged already...open to anybody interested.
Hello!
Hey, thanks for coming! I'm Andrew, and this is where my headthinks come to breed. They often meander around humanism and photography, but they're flighty and you can't trust them, so anything is possible.
Do feel free to email me - I get lonely:
Your hair looks swish, by the way - have you done something new?
