Not surprising Alison

If I added up all the times I'd got 3 numbers ...... oooops sorry I'm going off topic again aren't i!! Still can't remember what that Lorraine Silver records was? Oooh yes I can 'Lost Summer Love' complete shite

Oh my god I hope you win the lottery then you can tell them where to stick their shift patterns

Just had last goblet of bubbly stuff - do you feel better now? Just think when you're tucking yourself into bed humming those good old remembered tunes the rest of us will just be starting out for TGIF!

A very good set it was too - which is more than can be said about your leg

We have a second had playstation games shop in sunny Stafford and the manager is a soul nut - it's great I just stand outside and listen to the tunes in my lunch hour

The man (sorry Paul!) I shared my life with I'll certainly say hello to t'other Paul (ringing him tomorrow). Wasn't that funny the night you broke (was it broke?) your leg at Toddington Services

Mine too We should get together and release a 2005 summer remix and see how much Manship puts it on his list for

What the Snake or the record

You shall be missed - immensly by me if nobody else Cooorrrr didn't we used to have some laughs - miss those days (even with Paul!) don't you... sorry didnt' mean to go off topic drank far too much bubbly for one person in one night

You never played owt that bad - although I did doubt your judgement on Tommy Steele 'Little White Bull@'

Them there jelly beans used to make my feet sweat Which Paul do you mean? I'm talking of fantastic dancer Paul from Sheffield. If you mean t'other one he hangs out with that Cruze bloke from Wigan - so say no more :angry:

Yes tis I Sir! Are you hopping over to Derby on Saturday before the 100 club? Me and my spritely little chap are doing grand ta very much

Joe, what's the best record (but obviously the worst) you've heard at Brighton Beach when I used to come over with Paul? I remember getting very excited at the Jelly Beans

he obviously wasn't

Hi Kenny how are you? First time I think I've been on the same thread as you. Hope you're keeping well mate

I have a very good, lovely friend in Blackpool called Ian who goes to a lot of soul nights/niters - to be honest I'm not sure how old he is - someone once told me that he was almost 60 (I'm not sure that's right though) - he's a great dancer and is on the floor all night - all I can say is I hope I've as much energy when I get there as he has (By the way are you watching King Elvis at 11.30pm - '68 comeback special - I love Elvis and don't care who knows )

Please don't laugh - 'Moonlight, Music and You' - Laura Green - can't explain it but have always loved this tune probably just a good memory thing. My bessie mate's fave is Lorraine Silver - that crap can't even remember what it's called

I think it's brill that our wonderful music is being played on the TV - especially on a weekend when I can't get out There must be someone who frequents the scene - possibly a little back room person left to his/her own devices to fill in the quiet gaps with the tunes - whoever you are - great choice

What a frightening question I've never actually given any thought to when, or if, I'll ever stop dancing it's just life as we know it

Hi again Jimmy - been trying to locate Gary's contact no, email etc in my flyer collection but no joy, however here's Mace's email and I'm sure he'll pass on any message as he's one great guy (free entrance to next Bidds mace ) macejojo@aol.com

Did anyone watch The City Gardener tonight on channel 4 at 8.30pm? Another programme playing wonderful soul tunes in the background - Marvin Gaye, Temptations to name but two whilst watching leafy trees swaying about in Glasgow. Very watchable I wonder if they'll do a sound track for this like they have with the fantastic series of 'No Angels' - best programme ever

Obvioulsy we had very different backgrounds/upbringings then. I did respect my elders as it was just the way my family were. I didn't drink until I was 18 (mainly the fact I live in a small town and everybody knew my dad and I would have got a real b...king if he'd found out!! Oh and I haven't forgotten what it's like to be young - I just have nice childhood/teenage memories and being a good girl
