  1. How have I missed this one? Oh, to have been there to lend you a hand (as it were) if you wanted it… 😜
  2. On a more humorous side note, I’m reminded of staggering down the hill to catch the first Tube after a night on the Heath (not for the first time…) It was still dark but I snatched a photo of one of those old alleyways that lead off from the road and felt very proud of myself because, in black and white, it looked very Dickensian. No skill on my part, I must add - just a lucky point and shoot. I showed it to a strait laced work colleague who was impressed. ”That’s fantastic,” he said. “Where is it?”“Hampstead. About 5am,” I said without thinking. “Oh?” he said. “What were you doing in Hampstead at that time?” “I, er… I was at a party that ran on late…”
  3. Having never been to Berlin, I was just curious about the differences. Like everyone else, I’ve always felt safe at Hampstead Heath. There were vague rumours of assaults there several years ago but I’m not sure how credible they were. I’ve certainly never come across anything like that down there. I used to visit Barton Mills back in the 90s. That was a great spot as it was situated between two USAF airbases (Lakenheath and Mildenhall) and attracted some very fit US airmen. There was a guy murdered there once who’d been cruising (around ‘94, if memory serves) but that’s about the only horrible thing I’ve come across in my “career”.
  4. I’ve never been. How does it compare vis-a-vis Hampstead? I’ve never had any problems like that at Hampstead, although I know there have been periodic reports of trouble there.
  5. I’ve said it before but you have a way of writing that is so vivid it almost makes the reader feel they’re there (I should be so lucky!). It’s a real talent.
  6. I take my bulb to the gym as well. Always better to travel in hope, as they say…
  7. Excellent start. And a good cliffhanger. I think we’re all counting down… to the next instalment.
  8. I’d love to make it thrice, someday…
  9. You write so eloquently about that period. I don’t know about anyone else, but you almost made me feel like I was there when I read that. Which were the piers that were most active? I wasn’t sure when I was there in May (walking the High Line - no pun intended). And what has happened to them now?
  10. I can’t get them to travel from the next village for mine, these days… 🤪 I pass near Stansted often on the train.
  11. This is the synopsis on Peccadillo Pictures website: “They took MDMA and danced the night away. If you were in the mood for pure sex, there were the bathhouses. And if total sleaze was your aim, there were the piers, the Anvil or Mineshaft, places where men simply wanted to have sex with other men with no pretence. Gay Sex in the 70s is a stunning visual document of New York during the decade of gay liberation and sexual abandon following Stonewall. Gay men cruised the streets, frequented gay bars, and, of course, had loads and loads of sex everywhere. But only 12 years after Stonewall, this unprecedented era of sexual freedom came to a close.” I really must watch it again.
  12. Not judgemental in the slightest. But I wouldn’t expect it from those producers. I think you can still find it online. It was available on iTunes for a while.
  13. There was a documentary some years back called “Gay Sex in the 70s” made by Peccadillo Pictures which I still have in my collection. It’s all about gay life in NYC back then. I really enjoyed it. Have you seen it?
  14. I went to a couple of the Sheffield ones and they were excellent - really packed and a lot of interaction. That was pre-pandemic, before we were all locked in our homes. I haven’t been back since but I have heard they were awful after lockdowns were eased.
