A city-centre subterranean Manchester Disco...when the music was as good to listen to as it was to move to c.1970.

At a 16th birthday disco at 'The Barn' in the Viewfirth - she was a guest & I was the assistant DJ. She invited me for a dance as a dare & I dazzled her with my steps :eek:
The rest, as they say, is history...
He came to fix a leak in my roof that was over 9 years ago.
In a French lesson at High School.
My O level German language class got parked in the back of their Higher French class, due to teacher absences.
The battleaxe teacher in charge was wearing the most absurd green shoes and our eyes met in mutual amusement.
I think we got sent to the hinterlands for it........ together.:D
Had they had no sense???:roll:
Thanks Jean!

You really should let him out some time. People may be looking for him.

It was around one a.m. I was listening to some Piero Umiliani, minding my own business, and there was a knock at the door. She said she had come to fix the washing machine, which was odd as I didn't have one.
The rest, as they say, is mystery.
I had seen him around the high school, but never really spoken to him.
One night i was at the Music-Link-Media youth club in Wick, we got dragged onto the stage by the respective friends to sing "Sweet Child of Mine", and had to share a mic.
I'd never heard a guy who could sing like that before!
Started speaking to him after we came off the stage, invited him to my 16th birthday party at my house a couple of weeks later, and he still hasn't left!
Been a year and a half now, and I still shiver when I hear him singing.
he was an aircraft mechanic in the navy, i was a waitress in the chiefs mess.
he was working behind the bar for a caberate night on base, i was a guest.
he overwelmed me with the chat up line "i dont mean to be presumptuous but would you like to go out for a drink sometime?"
15 years, 5 kids and a lot of grey hairs later.......... yes he bloody well was being presumptuous!!!:lol:

At a gig in Brixton Academy.....
Well Rie... I was on stage doing panto and the OH was in the audience... I called her a peasant (as part of the act) some time later, an employee brought his cousin out to a party... and it was the peasant.... we laughed so much everything fell into place... the following year we were both doing pantomine... our daily routines often end up as panto acts.... Oh Yes They Do!

Fell out of the 'Mighty Fine' pub in Portsmouth as drunk as a monkey, tripped, shot across the pavement and headbutted the bus stop post. She was waiting for the bus and began to edge slowly away from me whilst giving me a look of pure disgust.
Quick as a flash, I asked her if she fancied going on to a nightclub with me. Bizarrely, she agreed. I then scrounged a fiver off her to take her there!
That was back in 1981, we've been together ever since.
But she's never got her fiver back..........as she keeps reminding me:roll:.

In true Caithness tradition I met my OH at a dance in Scotscalder hall, at first I was n't chuffed about going to a dance in the sticks, but Bower, being the venue of choice for anyone wanting to be "seen " in the right places, having been cancelled at short notice, only left Scotscalder in the running for entertainment ! 34 years on - it was a wise move ;):)

The Mighty Fine??! Well, there's a classy establishment if there ever was one! ;)
I fell out of there a couple of times myself, but it was called the Albany by then. Last I heard Northern Rock wanted to turn it into a bank.
Anyhoo....
I was a mail order bride, he's being trying to get a refund ever since...
Ok, we met through a friend. Nothing exciting really.

No doubt she does.
See, that's the problem. The website promised 'a quiet, honourable, hard-working and utterly subservient young wife of your choice, at a very competitive price'.
Nowhere did it state that she would have a mind of her own...
Word of warning to consumers: Always read the small print!
At a 16th birthday disco at 'The Barn' in the Viewfirth - she was a guest & I was the assistant DJ. She invited me for a dance as a dare & I dazzled her with my steps :eek:
The rest, as they say, is history...
My husband and I had our wedding reception in the Viewfirth Barn, and wedding dance in the Big Hall. We had a disco instead of a band, and the DJ was John French, who was very popular at the time.
Before we were married, hubby and I had bumped into each other at a few dances. Then some mutual friends invited us both over for dinner at the same time, and we really hit it off that night. We started dating right after that, and we've been married for over 31 years now! :cool:

Mate of mine- took me along to a mate of his-She was changing here new born-hell of a sight for a young lad!
Keith is 43 now and has more brothers an sisters than enough-an I am the happiest man in christendom:D
Well here goes...my first hubby was introduced to me by my then boyfriend,we broke up a few weeks later and I bumped into my soon to be hubby in the Weigh Inn....1 year later we were married :eek: second hubby well...I couldnt stand him (should have listened to my own intuition) but my mate was sick of him asking about me and said she would give me a tenner if I went out with him so I did and its taken me over 12 years to get rid of him :roll: current boyfriend was introduced to me by an old friend who was actually dating him....not for long though after he met me lol x
My now hubby had been working in the office I was in. My boss had told him not to speak to any staff as he was regarded as an office visitor. I had clocked him and thought he was kinda cute. It was a colleagues birthday bash and my then boyfriend had flu. Hubby had been invited so we started chatting and flirting. I dumped my ex a couple of weeks later and asked hubby out...that was 9 years and one baby ago. No regrets.:lol:
Met my lovely lady after a rugby game, looking slightly worse for wear and feeling rough decided to call it a night and was leaving the bar when I met my neighbours wife out with one of her friends, small talk for ten minutes and said that if she ever fancied a coffee to pop round !! 1.30 am there is a knock at my door and here she was, taking me up on the offer of a coffee ! :eek: never looked back since :D
i met my nursy wifie in my local..at home in N,Ireland ( LARNE )..1973...a prison sentence would have been shorter...lolo...:lol::lol:
Nearly 11yrs ago, we met when leaving a nightclub in Glasgow. I asked him if he wanted to go for noodles (don't be rude - there was a noodle bar next door! :roll:) and the rest is history.
I still wear the t-shirt he had on when we met - I use it for doing the gardening now [lol].

Was getting on the last bus home on a Friday night on Union Street and with the alcohol that I'd consumed I musta given him my number by mistake lol.
Yes, he was the bus driver... and he still is one :s - his reasons for not leaving Stagecoach dispite the horrible hours and bad pay, 'It's where I met you.' bless

pen pal . will be coming off the tran at oxford . week end leave during the war. i waited to see dozens of ats in uniform take your pick. she came up to me and said where do we eat.
Was busy gettin blootered at a party, when this bonnie wee thing asked me for a dance. Next i knew i was bein dragged up the aisle! Happy days! :eek:
I met my hubby in DFR sphere ... bit more unusual dont you think!
Dancing at the Caley Hotel in Inverness circa 1969........There was a 15 year age gap so in those days it was considered inappropriate, plus the fact he had a "stalker" who announced their engagement and I didn`t hang about to find out if it was true or not, so we went our separate ways.
Met again 10 years ago following a bereavement is his family and decided to give it a second chance......Married almost nine years now.......well worth the wait in my opinion.
"Sometimes you have to kiss a lot of ugly toads before you find your handsome prince"
Our favourite tune way back then was Anne Murray`s "Could I have this dance for the rest of my life".
I met my hubby in DFR sphere ... bit more unusual dont you think!
Definitely! :) And was Dadie's First Reaction love at first sight? ;)
Probably doesnt know quite what hit him yet...
he took a bit of chasing...
caught him but the other lads at DFR didnt make it easy ...
at least i didnt have to dress to impress though!
he had seen me in a boilersuit and hardhat.. sexy

well i have to admit that i met my b/f of 3 years on the internet stupidly lol
he came up for a week and never went home lol we now have a 15months old daughter.
I just fell off the bar stool and there she was on the floor. :D
Seriously, we met at Secondary school when we were both 12 and were "winching" off and on for a few years until she went to work in Canada and I joined the Merchant Navy.
A few years later I was in a local pub and I spotted this gorgeous creature who was working as a waitress and was instantly besotted.
One of my mates addressed her by name when she served us and I knew then who this vision of lovelyness was.
One thing led to another and we were married 18 months later.
Two children and 33 years later she is still putting up with me.
Free Tip: I always introduce her as "My first Wife" (If you believe that, you'll believe anything).
I met mine on the internet lol very scary. He lived 500 miles away, started speaking in the February 05 met for a weekend in March at a half way point for both of us and then moved down to live with him in the April, 3 years later I have moved him back to Caithness and getting married to him in 7 weeks time lol

Can i just say thank you to every one for sharing there stories with us ,
I know i started it but this has been one of the best threads i have read in a long time and just wanted to give my thanks. xx
I had been teaching for three years and later was out for a walk along the river. Bumped into an ex-pupil and we chatted as we walked along. Over the months we met occasionally for a coffee or a walk... and the rest, as they say, is history. Been married for 20 years now.

I´ver lived with her ever since and we even got married in Thurso....97
