We'll never know now my thoughts on the Jubilee celebrations and street party in June, the new smaller pound note being introduced in August, the release of 'Never Mind The Bollocks' in October, or the release of the first Star Wars film in December. Although having said that I clearly remember being allowed to see it with a friend, Barry Smith (whatever happened to him??!), and getting a Star Wars lolly before the main event that came with a free cardboard Chewbacca mask!
So for what it's worth, here's the last few days of my 1977 diary... good to see I betted on the Grand National anyway....

Was it that egg from Miss that made you sick?
Pity it all ends on the 5th! Reading your old diaries and Mondos calendars makes me wish I had saved much more from my youth.
Down on the nags but up from miss with the egg. By coincidence I've punted my April scribblings up today
Can't help thinking that the extra bit of info on Red Rum may have been provided by Piley Senior.

JJ - Glad you enjoyed them - I was a tad embarrassed by some of it, but what the hell, I was only 10!
Mondo - Funny enough, I read that line about the egg in a different way now as an adult... "we got an egg from miss" I now wonder if she dropped one??!
Warble - no idea now! Think they made quite a thing of it on the TV at the time, so I may well have picked up on it. Piley Snr has always been keen on the gee gees though.
