You are prolly far too young (me too!!!)

[Waaii]

Were you ever a mod or a rocker, or what would you have been do you think, in those good auld days?

[4getmenot]

I am way too young :-) But can I just ask as I am intrigued is prolly a word used in certain parts of country, I take it it means probably

[ummmm]

Neither.....they both looked ridiculous!

[MrBen5]

Whats a mod?

[B00]

My boyfriend in the early 80's was really into The Jam, so obviously I pretended to be as well (what? I was trying to impress him ok? LOL) so I dutifully bought a green fishtail coat......

I never really got into it though, I was a secret Duranny!!!

[Blyss]

I was into the Jam ..had the clothes ..the hairstyle the lot ..lol ..god I musta scared wee kids.lol
so I was a mod.

[Waaii]

Prolly is my kida shorthand, not dialect, sorry, habit

[wnjxc21]

You are 'prolly' far too young (me too!!!)...

another hint for short hand is you're instead of you are..


If you are going to do it then keep it consistant

[B00]

Hey nice to know i'm not the only one who's been clobbered with the cranky stick today!!!

Heh!

[Waaii]

wnjx21 - Miew. here's your rattle back.
Anyway if I was being pedantic it's MY shorthand not a grammatical contraction.:-(

[smurfchops]

I was a mod, down to Brighton every bank holiday in the 1960s (not fighting though) and going to all the West End clubs at the weekend - Marquee, Whisky, Scene, Carnaby Street, etc. Then what happened? Ten years later I married a Rocker ! Good thing I like rock n roll but James Brown will always be the King of Soul.

[smudge]

We were both Mods - way back in the 60's!

What great days they were too!

[raysparx1]

Hi waaii,
I was a mod probably met smurfchops cos I went to the Marquee virtually every Tuesday and Saturday, had a Vespa followed the Who,small faces,yardbirds, went To Margate,Brighton & Hastings every chance, also went to Tiles Club & the Rikky tik, loved every minute of it, met my now wife who was a commited Rocker,but she saw sense in the end

[admarlow]

I wish I was a mod, Ive got the suits for it.....

[andy-hughes]

I'm just a bit too young to have ben either, but i know that real 60's Mods would have crossed over the stree to avoid the endless 79 / 80's 'Mods' in the wake of the 'Quadrophenia' movie. Identikit parkas and two-tone clothes a real Mod would have bruned on sight.

I worked in a disco as a DJ at that time, and I remember some snotty kid with a target tee-shirt and pork pie hat leaning across and asking me if I could "... play any Mod ..." but he had to shout up because the sound of Booker T And The MGs' 'Green Onions' was on at full volume!!

Kids!!! Pah!!!!

[raysparx1]

oh andy used to love the stuff Booker t did,good man,you had taste.

[devilwoman]

well i dont know if you'll understand wot i'm going on about, but as a teenager in the early seventies i was a smoothie, i had the feather cut and the cromblie, aww what bliss,

those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end.

[KingOpabinia]

I'd like to think I have the traits of both. I'm known as a mocker.

[Waaii]

devil-woman-
We'd sing and dance for ever and a day, we'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never loose, those were the days Oh Yes those were the days........


Well it wasn't all good to be fair!

[netibiza]

I was a rocker with my own Tigercub bike and all the leather gear, and then I changed to being a mod as I fancied wearing skirts and heels and looking feminie, but I steered clear of Brighton!!

[smudge]

I can't believe that Andy!!!!

Only yesterday, I sent someone the following 'YouTube' video of Green Onions by Booker T & the MG's.

It was one of our favourite records & my husband still has an orinigal 45rpm of it in amongst our collection!

The dancing on it is so corny - but was fun at the time!
