Good choice i have to say, i met loads of squadies during this era who were AWOL..... due to not wanting to miss the scene. Good choice as you would have had the milatary police on yer tail:thumbsup:

Best times of my life and felt lucky to have beena part of it all;)

The posh bit of Liverpool
changed my life no end,

I was excepted as a student to study dentistry, thanks to oldschool and chemicals im now just another space cadet pining for the early 90s, many thanks organisers and chemists, you realy did show me the way ;)

I also took a medical for the Royal Navy, however i failed it, i thikn it was due to a night at the drome or something its hard to summise what caused the failure hehe, could actually have been the bone chip missing off my shoulder from an accident, we will never know, but i prefer to think its some recruitment officer seeing my report, thinking yes yes good candidate, then getting to the bottom only to find that there was enough lsd and tammazie in my blood to knock out a small town :D

I do have a great job tho, and to a certain extent mah choons got me through the uni days of toil and stress so yeah, positive influence....stimulate yo miiind craig, puff puff give :)

I think it did change mine alot.

I was probably gonna join up or was going to be a complete geekboy until that fateful night i turned on the radio because i couldnt sleep, to hear my first hardcore tunes.

I went out to find them on record, so far i have one or two but i will have them all!!

since that day i have been immersed in beats and bass, narcs found their way into my life but in a purely recreational and positive way i think. I am not an addict and never was, i just liked to get nutted on things other than booze, i'm still the same really.

days of raving in fields, warehouses, barns, clubs, hospitals, swimming pools, concert venues, old cinema theatres and even a primary school - that was class.

It's amazing i can still remember most of it.

but i wouldn't have changed this life for anything - rave (now oldskool) for me was a building block for my teens and my 20's and will be there well into my 30's and beyond.

i'll see the little un's jumping around to Prodigy experience or 2 bad mice or SL2 mark my words!!!
