By popular request.
So, where were you - if you'd been born by then - in 1981?
I had left school, passed some exams, and decided not to go on to sixth form. I'd started my first full-time job, which I hated.

The chaos of energy in the universe was inexorably yet unconsciously forming eddies in the human realm which would themselves go on to propagate my eventual inception, roughly three years later.

I was at secondary school....2nd year, I think. Might even be the year I got a school prize for achievement. Never reached such dizzy heights again.

My granddad died, and I was at home very ill with glandular fever. It all went a bit wrong that year.

I only experienced two full months of that year, so don't have the most vivid memories. Let the oldies ramble on....

Left 6th form and started working my way through the female population (brilliant), and studying to be an accountant (dull).

I was probably sucking on breasts, knocking back a bottle or two a day and crapping my pants.
Although I would have only been 7 months old at the time.
Not much changes 30 years later really

Wrong. He missed Threads. I was fortunate enough to catch it on BBC4 several years ago. Would've been right up Bratty's street!

Threads was great. I missed the repeats. I hope it’s on again as I’ll try to watch it.
