30 years tomorrow.

I was only a kid in school at the time but I remember my father being very upset that day as he was a Beatles maniac. They says its the "JFK moment" of the music world so where you on the 8-12-80?

I was non-existent.

jd007 · 07-12-2010 06:01PM

I wasn't born.

Asphyxia · 07-12-2010 06:01PM

Duggy747 · 07-12-2010 06:02PM

I was hanging out with my billions of brothers in my Dad's balls.

Wrong community forum OP - they're mostly born in the 90s and late 80s and stuff, darn brats!

I was two and a half, so wherever two-and-a-half-year-olds would be.

I was in school IIRC. I remember the news bulletins later on in the day and the radio playing imagine ad nauseum.

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

cml387 · 07-12-2010 06:53PM

I was asleep in bed.
When I woke up I turned on the radio to Radio 2 (which was still comminatcha in those days)
Ronan Collins,for it was he,was reading out a list of famous people who died on this day,and added.."And we'll now have to add John Lennon to that list"

...wtf?

I suppose it was the same as when Mary Byrne was voted off X -Factor ...grabs coat

FlutterinBantam · 07-12-2010 06:54PM
