....and THIS one is of Mary, the girl who caused a major commotion after a party at my wife's teacher training college.
There was an end of term party, when all the drinks were half price as they had to clear their stocks before the summer recession.
Everyone got blind drunk, and my wife (then gilfriend) and I went back to her room on campus at about 1am to sleep it off. Single bed, tiny room etc.
Anyway, about half an hour later, there was a frantic knocking at the door and it was Mary, who wanted to come in. She had had a row with her boyfriend (Tim, also in picture) and he had locked her out, refusing to open the door. She was tearful, we made coffee and she asked to stay in our room.
In true Ellpus style, I had no inkling what she was intending, and offered to sleep on the floor while the girls slept in the bed.
About three a.m, I was woken by a tongue being inserted down my throat, Mary's hand saying hello to Percy, and my wife/girlfriend shouting "What the ****ing hell is going on?!?"
Mary was all apologetic, and said that she woke up still drunk and thought she was in Tim's room.
Wife/girlfriend didn't believe me for quite a few years, and still gives me that look whenever "Lying in the Arms of Mary" is played on the radio.
We are enjoying a picnic in the photo, taken about a week before I was pleasantly surprised. I forgot we had this photo, I bet the better half soon deletes it.
L to R Tim, Mary, better half......see what I mean about old photos going red?
