Dancing in the 60's seemed to see the 'rock'n roll' and 'jive' disappear and in came the 'twist', 'locomotion' and 'hully gully', that I remember.Once Tamla Mowtown arrived,we all started to do dance routines in unison like 'The Four Tops' and 'Supremes'. Blimey, we were fit then! No stopping us, we didn't sit down all night long and no enhancements. Constantly aware of who might be watching, as the boys stood around the edge of the dance floor, eyeing up the talent for later. Our eyes darting all over the place and pretending to be amazingly happy. If the truth be known, we would hope we might get a date for the next week instead of, once again going home without so much as a glance from any of those stunning males. Got a date one night, with someone who had a great sense of humour. He eventually became a very famous comedian! Does that tell me something?

I only joined this site today and I've laughed until i've cried reading all your various posts of the memories you have ....sooo funny...I'm off to bed now, but i'll definitely be back tomorrow ,
Just looked at the "male peacock" posting, blimey it's changed a bit now. Was at the Mathew Street Festival at the weekend and they're more like parrots now, including the cockatoo crest. I may be an old git but I do wonder if they look in the mirror before they come out. Do their dads say anything I wonder? As for the lasses, I think they just wear modesty pelmets now and they don't hide much, the mystery has gone. I remember being a bus conductor in the early 70's and that was bad enough, having to follow young girls up the stairs to collect their fares and them having everything on display and all, better than a biology lesson.

Gosh, I just looked back to see when I started this thread and can't believe it was back in November! It's good to know that so many people replied and have kept on doing so, and I hope it's provided many a good laugh for everyone too I know it has for me.
Some of the posts are very funny and bring back many memories

Good to hear MDS53! Laughter is what keeps us all young. hmmm!
I just wish that we had the old tele's back. An on/off button, 3 channels, and a darkness/brightness knob. Oh for simplicity. By the time I find my way around today's model,dinner is burnt and the programme has finished!

Oh the joys of twiddling with the horizontal hold, vertical hold, contrast etc. Not forgetting that little white dot slowly fade after you've switched off. Mary Malcolm, Sylvia Peters and MacDonald Hobley(?). The interludes. Then the scourge of new fangled "commercial television" with ADVERTS !! Enough.
not telling.
