Lazerdrome was just before the start of the one way system at the bottom of Rye Lane, there is a now a New Build called Cooperative House (the old building also had this name actually). There was a pub on the corner, but I can't remember the name. The onlt Kings I can think of was "Kings on the Rye" which was on the cross roads, and used to be a very very dodgy club, and there would be 20-30 BMWs parked up on the grass across the road every Friday and Saturday night. Classy joint!

[TillieTrotter]

Atilla, did you not also do The Royal Oak in Tooley Street or the Lilliput Arms in Bermondsey?

[ratty]

There was a cinema upstairs in Sterns as I recall........ I don't however recall much from those day!

[MadWorld74]

Benjaminty I also remember the sweat dripping off the ceiling, really gross. You and Ratty must have been East Sussex dwellers back then, no?

[ratty]

I am from Pompey - loads of pompey used to take the short journey to Sterns.

[benjaminty]

MW74, Sorry no I'm South London (BnB)... just saw travelling to a "do" just a good challenge...

OH MY GOD, LAZERDROME! Forgot that one. I used to be there every Saturday when I was 17 in my Jungelis days!! Keef, if you remember seeing a group of girls in hot pants, belly tops and Chipie trainers - that was me and my posse!

[Asset]

wouldn't that have been all of them?

Indeed I did young Tillie, the Royal Oak no longer exists it has long since been pulled down to make way for offices.

[atila the gooner]

The Henshaw Arms - Balfour Street off Rodney Road SE17

The Fountain - Walworth Road

quite! But only the elite had glow in the dark Chipie trainers!!

[TillieTrotter]

I bet we had a few boogies then Atilla....our eyes may have even met across the room. Prince Charming ah ah Prince Charming. :-$ My uncle actually used to own both the Apples and pears and The Oak back in the day.

Our eyes may have met across the room but only if you were a teenager in the 70's, as I was.

[TillieTrotter]

I was there early 80's. In fact I met my husband to be there in '83.

Oh goodness.....I 'knew' a few lads from pompey back in the day!!!!........

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Oh yeh, what about The Ministry of Sound. It used to be mad in there in the beginning.

I miss Ivory Arch.

[Jah Lush]

Too many places and times to mention and I'm still living my youth despite turning 50 earlier this year. I may be growing older but I refuse to grow up.

[MadWorld74]

I seem to have less money than I did then even though I was a student/unemployed/on a low wage.....what happened there?

[Keef]

With you on that one MW74! There always seemed to be cash to go out!

[MadWorld74]

And what's more, I had cash to go out from Friday through to Monday non stop! And now? well a few glasses of over priced vino down The Plough and the nights over.

[ratty]

Ahhh just revisited this for the memories :)

I used to go to Level 3.. about the only place in Swindon that played some decent music. Not saying much of course...

I've never been much of a clubber... seems to have bypassed having a misspent youth and I doubt I'd have the stamina to be doing it every weekend now!

SORTED FOR E'S AND WIZZ - PULP

Oh is this the way they say the future's meant to feel?

Or just 20,000 people standing in a field.

And I don't quite understand just what this feeling is.

But that's okay cos we're all sorted out for E's and wizz.

And tell me when the spaceship lands cos all this has just got to mean something.

In the middle of the night,

it feels alright,

but then tommorow morning.

Oh then you come down.

Oh yeah the pirate radio told us what was going down.

Got the tickets from some f*cked up bloke in Camden Town.

Oh and no-one seems to know exactly where it is.

But that's okay cos we're all sorted out for E's and wizz.

At 4 o'clock the normal world seems very, very, very far away.

Alright.

In the middle of the night,

it feels alright,

but then tommorow morning.

Oh then you come down.

Just keep on moving...

Everybody asks your name,

they say we're all the same and it's "nice one,"

"geezer"

but that's as far as the conversation went.

I lost my friends, I dance alone,

it's six o'clock, I wanna go home.

But it's "no way," "not today,"

makes you wonder what it meant.

And this hollow feeling grows and grows and grows and grows,

and you want to phone your mother and say,

"Mother, I can never come home again,

cos I seem to have left an important part of my brain somewhere,

somewhere in a field in Hampshire."

Alright.

In the middle of the night,

it feels alright,

but then tommorow morning.

Oh then you come down.

What if you never come down?
