It was lust at first sight on my part but it would be five years before we even kissed.
At the time I was a speedfreak punk with red and blonde spikey hair with nothing much in common or anything to offer a nice girl like Julie Taylor.
Believe it or not the 16-year-old schoolgirl was a lot different from the 21-year-old I became hooked on.
In those five years Julie had done a lot of growing-up.
When we were re-united she was having an affair with a married bloke called Derek and had just been named as the `other woman` in his divorce.
I also found out after we`d married that she`d briefly worked as a pub stripper to buy a car and had gone through a `wild child` period of only dating foreign boys.
She`d had a `thing` for Italians from Sawbridgeworth in Hertfordshire and what she called `sun tans` from The Ritzy in Tottenham.
The first time I met Julie I was speeding out of my head and five years later I was still using fast drugs.
