Overview

By the time Bored In The Eighties reaches its final volumes, Mark Highwater is eighteen, technically an adult, but still woefully ill-equipped to function in the world of the grown-ups. Of his two true loves, only John Peel and the underground alternative music scene are reliable. The gigs are frequent, records are piling up, and every spare thought is given to writing songs, whilst dreaming of being in a band of his own. The other half of his heart still belongs to Hannah, but she continues to leave him stranded in a world of confusion and he lives in the forlorn hope that one of these days, he may just figure out where he stands. He doesn't know it yet, but everything is about to change when he finally leaves home for University in Leeds. Feelings are overwhelming, decisions are questionable, yet his optimism stubbornly survives long past the point where he should really know better. These diaries chart the collision between the love that never lets him down and the one that repeatedly does, leading to a conclusion that the writers of a Soap Opera might consider a little far-fetched. Presented in full, straight from the original manuscripts, and paired with modern-day commentary, this quirky time capsule offers both a hilarious look at how much life has changed and a reminder of the universal awkwardness of the adolescent male.
