and who could forget, more tragically... a very bad year for fishing! (1997 genuinely much better).

1976 was a great year. A long hot summer. I was 11, which always seemed a good age.

1975 was quite a long hot summer too, but not as long and hot as '76 so everyone forgets it!

Both are best forgotton for personal reasons

I started work at my current employer in 1998 and I seem to remember that even into September the weather was still nice.

1998 - i watched the spice girls movie in a cinema full of 12 year old girls. not one of my finer moments. a year probably best left forgotten.

I went and saw that movie on the day it was released!

just to clarify - i'm NOT gay or anything. it's just with this post and my other one about Brokeback Mountain, i'm probably looking more than a little queer.
