Guest SoulRenaissance Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 WHAT??? You gotta tell me more ... ... I'm still laughing at the nickname, even without knowing the detail Never heard of Rob the Stick Phil, can't believe that? Well known on the scene early 90's around the East Midlands area, as well as niters. Used to sell records. Still not with us? Known as Rob Gourlay, but changed his name to Robina or something like that? And started wearing loose fitting garments of the female variety. Hardly been sighted since the mid 90's. Ask Roger Banks as he knew him well, who used to be in the clothing business i think? Also Dave Rimmer, possibly can fill you in? Martyn Link to comment

Ask Roger Banks as he knew him well, who used to be in the clothing business i think? Also Dave Rimmer, possibly can fill you in? Martyn I'm filling no body in ! You must have heard of Rob the Stick though Phil. He eventually had a sex change operation and moved to Scotland where he set up house with a guy who worked on the rigs off Aberdeen. There was a TV documentary about him and his operation a few years back. I'll tell you what though, he was an ugly bloke, but made an even uglier woman. It was hilarious seeing him humping two 300 count boxes into the back of his Landrover, wearing his high heels. Best story about him though comes courtesy of Jim and Soap. he was called Rob the Stick because he used to use a walking srtick (Never seemed to need it for anything other than claiming his disability money), anyway, at each Blackburn niter Jim and Soap used to borrow his stick when he wasn't looking, take the rubber ferrule of the end and saw half an inch off the bottom of the stick and then return it. Shows how much he needed the stick, this went on for at least six months, and by then the stick was at least three inches shorter than it used to be. Link to comment

Course I remember ... ... erm ..... her. Once had the honour of listening to Gaz Kellet discussing the merits of american tan tights with ... erm ... him at Tony's. (Same night that he attached coat hangers to everything and generally got on people's tits - funny though). Didn't know about the sawing of the stick though - genius - or her nickname! (I think Mrs Doubtfire did the rounds for a time too - harsh?) The thing that made me laugh out loud initially was the thought of someone coming up with that monicker for someone who'd suffered the most cruel loss of all. Didn't know it was Robin. I don't think you're being unkind insofar as the aesthetics are concerned either Dave; if she said it was Xmas you'd sing f*ckin carols . Hope you're well mate Link to comment

Soulfool Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 WHAT??? You gotta tell me more ... ... I'm still laughing at the nickname, even without knowing the detail I remember returning from one of the Cleethorpes Weekender's and R.T.S. - all dressed up - was at the train station with a trolley full of record boxes and the kindly guard offered her help in lifting the boxes onto the train, and Rob (obviously still with dangler's intact) replied in a deep voice, "no thanks Mate, I'll manage." The look on the Guard's face was a picture watching Rob load the boxes on board with ease!! Link to comment

The look on the Guard's face was a picture watching Rob load the boxes on board with ease!! Carrying on with the stories. One week me and my brother were working at Weston Favell in Norhtants, a block of flats there. There were more changes going on there between the residents, than there are costume changes at a pantomime. One guy used to go in as Trevor, came out as Eva. No pun intended, this is all Kosher. Brian who was quite well built, but used to dress in leotard type leggings and carry a black handbag. I was bending down once and he came up behind me, and said "Excuse me please". Turned round, you coulda knocked me over with a feather. Then there was a little guy who used to sell books. When my mate came with us one day he got chatting to this guy, told him he liked leather. The little guy was made up. Next day he was kitted out with his leather trousers and waistcoat. There was also a couple who looked like something out of the monsters. He was tall, skinny, and had a hair lip. She was short and extrtemely fat. I could've swore it was Pandora's box being opened when they opened the door of their flat. Certainly an experience working there. And they call us Weirdos on the soul scene? We also broke down a couple of times on the way home, stories which i won't go into now. They were a friendly bunch though, i can say that. Especially the guys, they were always asking us in for tea. Only 5 days to go now. Martyn Link to comment
