i can't help thinking that ibiza spotlight's clubbing open chat section is not really the place to garner memories of the last 50 years, given its demographics (sorry morby i'm generalising again) however i really do remember where i was when kennedy was assassinated!

like i said, i was just wondering what the events that stood out in your own lifetime were (some of them may be useful for me in compiling the book) others may just be interesting to read about.
