In 1978 I had just graduated high school and was a newlywed. I got high and drunk often and bounced around from one job to another until 1979 when I went to college.

Met my future x-wife. Opened a business, it was a memorable time.

I was preparing to leave home when I had a bad cycle accident and was hospitalised. I still have the titanium plate and screws which was initially put in my arm to help the bone heal.

I was picking up the prize for Volvo employee of the decade.
In 1978? How could they be sure there wouldn't be someone better in 1979 or 1980?

Because Volvo meant to end this award at that time, and they did too.

In 1978, I was in the Jopok, the Korean mafia. I didn't move to Japan until 1986.

Volvo cars have been pants since 1979.

Did the slight delays for you at airport check ins start in 1978?

Rats a$$es were phased in by the Tories starting in 1979

I started using the term in 1978 just after I started the punk scene and they copied me.

I don’t think I’d been on an airplane then.

I'd flown in planes long before I rode a motorbike. You've been living your life back to front
