Enjoyed all that. It does spot on capture that strange era when I was 7-17.

I remember as a 13 year old. I din't want to be a proffessional footballer, I didn't want to be a Jet Pilot, I wanted to be a stockbroker. I wanted to be rich, have the sports car, the suit with red braces, and to rub it all in the faces of those who didn't have it.

Looking back, what an unpleasant society we must have lived in to give a 13 year old the aspiration to become a horriffic individual.
