Confession time!

We all like to think that we were/are cool but life often gets in the way. (Or.... you get older and realise what a knob you were!)

Tell us all.... what did you do that made you cool?

Did you have massive back combed hair? Did you have an awesome car? Were you on telly?

Start your reply with "i was cool once...."

Me? I used to sing in a rock band. I was cool once!

And been on TV at said parties several times.

I've never been cool, never really wanted to be. Yet last week my friend who is 15 years younger than me looked at my new trousers and said 'its nice to see you dressing cool instead of like an old lady' lol I looked in the mirror and my wide leg trousers and thought I dressed like a hobo, apparently hobo chic is cool to people in their 30s

We would dance all night (until the club shut at 12.30), not drink alcohol and have an amazing night.

They were brilliant and I was about 10 feet away from them.

I was cool very briefly in 1977 when I said I liked The Clash. Unfortunately, I had a Steely Dan album under my arm at the time. I've been uncool ever since.

I was cool once, when I turned down the advances of a sexy girl in a Disco back in the 80's, I was sporting my new New Romantic look. Not so much Flock of Seagulls more Adam and the Pants, I was wearing burgundy lace pants and a Pirate Shirt, big hair and mad eyeliner.

So nonchalant, so chic. Lol.

Thistle here - I grew my hair long, really long - then put it in a hair band and sometimes a double ponytail.

Don’t put yourself down, both you and your profile are very attractive.

PS I’m not trying to pick you up!

I was cool once. I had a Daffy Duck T-shirt that said “I’m cool!” so I must have been.

Sadly, that was my peak.
