Age 13


I was born just few months before the Swindon's Magic Roundabout was constructed.
When I reached the age of 13, it was 1985.
The year when Rock Hudson died and Keira Knightley was born.
I lived in the land between Reagan and Gorbachev.
I lived at home, without a VCR.

If you really want me to say this, it's time for your English lesson again.

Articles are missing from the first paragraph:

'it was year 1985.' Either it was the year 1985, or it was 1985.

'I lived at home, without VCR.' Without a VCR.

Otherwise, very good. Completely understandable (as much as the thoughts of a teenage girl can ever be understandable to a [nearly] middle-aged man). 9/10.

Thank you for the lesson,
Mr. Dave.

Yours sincerely,
(nearly) middle-aged woman

I'm sorry for being such a pedant. You did say you wanted me to correct your English. I'm just soooo bored, having been stuck at home all week with this chest infection.

I've even found time to trace blogs stranger than yours (see my blog today).

Taiga the Fox said...

Please, do so. I might learn something, or not :)

I just visited Karen voight 6 pack facial expressions. She seemed to be such a nice lady from Mar'si.

Did you know you can get Swindon Magic Roundabout t-shirts? Pictures, plus far more than you ever wanted to know about it (including date of construction) are to be found here: http://www.swindonweb.com/life/lifemagi0.htm

(Told you I was bored.)

I wonder how is it ever possible to survive through that?

Driving on the right side of the road, like you do. Possibly.
