My 0.23 seconds of fame Great memories mate!

Jesus Christ,, I could swear..... I'd better not say what I think of all this

Spot on Kev

Yeah what were the records Tezza? List em and then everyone on here can pull em to bits and make you feel even worse

I'm with Toad on this mate, its anything after 78 I reckon

Got the t-shirt, no matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise, an empty dance floor when you're behind the decks does not feel good. When we ran the Attic the guest spot finished at 11.30 and I can remember doing the last spot a few times and sometimes people would start leaving soon after. I'd spent a lot of time, effort & money getting together a spot ( nowhere near as good as the guests we had but still records I thought were worthy of a play ) and it was deflating. Actually most of the time the last hour was pretty good and we had people dancing but I can still remember seeing people walking out after the guest had finished and thinking WTF? I've got some records here to play that I've spent a lot of money & time on! Dont DJ really now but if I did I'd rather it be in a situation where people are just listening rather than a traditional style venue where you're trying to get people to dance and create an atmosphere DJing isn't easy but worse things happen at sea

Love this

As has already been said, you definitely need Manships price guide 5th edition. This will provide you with detailed info on whether your records are original or not. Regarding value, don't be fooled into thinking that you'll be able to get those prices when you sell your records though, remember the price in there is for mint condition and in the real world they dont really apply to us lesser mortals ( with maybe a few exceptions ) Some records will sell on here and some would be better on ebay but there's no hard and fast rules for which is which though you'll have a bit of trial & error

Fair dues but most football fans would describe Maidenhead as crap compared to Chelsea when they're on top form

You've used a football analogy so here's one - you've been watching Chelsea for years, you've seen top quality football, won trophies and witnessed some of the best players in the world on the Stamford Bridge pitch. Then your mate says come on were going to watch a football match and takes you to watch the local pub team on a Sunday morning. Half the players are still pissed from the night before and most couldn't trap a sandbag. Its still a football match but you're hardly gonna be enthralled by it are you? So regarding your invitation to attend the next Dustbinstanley circus or similar event... er, no thanks.

Please god no!

I think you're slightly missing the point, I dont think any of us over 50s would claim to be cool anymore - its more a case of not appearing to be a div which is the antithesis of what we were about when we were 18. Having said that you can still have a bit of self respect about you what ever age you are

Hear hear. It would be nice to have some kind of clear demarcation between the two ( I know thats not possible before anyone comments ) After this last week or so I want to be as far away as possible

I dont

Just had a peep at this, oh dear It shows you what we're up against. Made me laugh when someone made a comment about fancy dress, oh the irony

Overlooked? Are you serious? Those records are about as overplayed as it gets

Me too fast forward straight past em every time

Well I am and your argument about being either cool or loving the music doesnt stack up.

The genie got out of the bottle a long time ago, he gets bigger & uglier as time goes on though

Rare and a fabulous record

Russ I think you're whistling in the wind mate, especially with the attendance figures at this weekends Butlins do its just not showing any signs of that happening

I agree mate, I wish I could read more stuff like that!

Heres no 3, she hasnt travelled very far this time
