Ooooh Terry you're so hurtful It's hard making friends when one is socially disabled like me - I should have my own All-nighter parking space near the door (Like Gilly seems to have) But yeh, you got a point - Who needs friends aye? They always end up being a pain in the *rse! All the best, Len

N.B - I request we all stop calling ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ — ‘Strictly’ because it strengthens the brain washing procedure of the presumption that everyone ‘obviously’ watches it, so knows what ‘Strictly’ means. Thank you for your understanding. All the best, Len (Keepin’ it real) P.s — Work’s pretty quiet again…..

Oh, no.........On me and my wife’s first date, Nina said to me (and I quote) "You do that thing with your leg”.…..I wasn’t quite sure what to make of such a comment - is she being complimentary or cleverly taking the p*ss? - It’s been a running joke for 15 years now I’m pretty sure we are talking about a different ‘Thing With My Leg’, not that I have fathomed what on earth she’s talking about to this day, but three of our friends have confirmed that I do ‘apparently’ do ‘That Thing With My Leg’ Barry, I’m afraid you need to be more specific mate. Please film yourself doing the said ‘Thing With Your Leg’ and post it up for us - Purely for the sake of the topic, we won’t laugh honest, you can leave your ‘Polished moves’ out on this occasion. If anyone that knows me, can relate to what Nina’s on about with ref my ‘Thing With My Leg’…..Please keep it to yourself, I’d rather not know! - Crumbs, I thought we had run out of Topic ideas, nice one mate! — Next up ‘That Thing With Your Arm’…. All the best, Len P.s — Barry, if you notice me doing ‘That Thing With My Leg’, I hope you like my version, as opposed to the one you refer to that you have stated your disapproval of

Yeh, makes sense - It bought back memories of the effort that you used to have to put in to attend events, and that ‘effort’ is what added the little extra something. The same can be said for record collecting - Records can have that ‘little extra something’ if there has been a lot of effort put into getting it. Whether it be going to The States, finding out titles of records on tapes, sending wants lists out, or worst of all — Waiting years! That’s the down side of life now being so much easier - the ‘Magic’ gets lost - But hey, we’d all still choose the easier life wouldn’t we?! I remember (after resisting as long as we were able to) me and a mate having to eat some chips someone had thrown on the floor, because we had used up all our paper round money on travel and entrance fees, eating hadn’t even crossed our minds! Looking back it made that particular weekend extra special….. ......I can’t believe I just typed that out loud…. All the best, Len

But why do you say that? I think it's down to personal choice - People pay their hard earned, blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah, blah,blah :lol: :lol: Sorry, I have a 'reaction' as soon as 'O.V.O' is mentioned All the best, Len

Ok, will do....God, I'm sad! - Actually, I think I've worked it out - I suspect, it's pointing one way slightly. All the best, Len

Don't know it.....and I think I quite like it actually (Needed a couple of plays as you do sometimes) Also, if that was 'spliced' in at a nighter I recon it would work really well. All the best, Len

Why does backwinding a record damage it? I sometimes do that when lining up a record and haven't had any problems so far, but I'm aware this can cause 'burn' - So how does backwind cause this? - You've just reminded me, I really shouldn't do it. All the best, Len

Good question....I don't know the answer, I'm afraid. All the best, Len

Records are extremely robust - I have had the same nail (needle) in my record player at home for years, it just needs a wipe every so often, when there gets so much fluff build up that it slides across the record All the best, Len

I didn't know that - It's still The Dogs B*llocks I love it, always have All the best, Len

......This statement goes against everything I have ever ‘campaigned’ against….but…..”I’ve got one and I’ve had it years! - Na, na, na, na, na” Sorry, just couldn’t resist! All the best, Len

£200.00! Sorry mate All the best, Len

I do think, say 50 people would choose to go nearer home because it's easier regardless of the line-up, and just those 50 people can make all the difference to an event. People go on about ’freedom of choice', some even like ‘freedom of speech’ - I say ‘dictatorship’ is the way forward! All the best, Len P.s - Thanks for the 'Soul In The Bowl' plug

…… But it’s been like this for years now and I can’t believe I’m discussing it again - Doh! Night night. Len

I think it does - Some of the best venues can lack in atmosphere because of being low on numbers, which is due to those missing people having somewhere else to choose. Too many venues splinters the 'customer base' All the best, Len

I don't think you can tell what an event is like by play lists alone, or (obviously) how many people attend. Most people who are 'out 'n' about' know what venues are for them, but trying somewhere for the first time will always be a bit of a gamble. All the best, Len

Yeh, I know the type - Who does he think he is?!!! Len

That’s a very good answer, covering lots of points…....but far too ‘positive', so I’m going to completely ignore it! :lol: All the best, Len

You took the words..... Len

That’s a very good answer, covering lot's of points…....but far too sensible, so I’m going to completely ignore it! :lol: All the best, Len

Stop it! - You are 'reeling' me in on an 'O.V.O' discussion - You nearly had me there because I was about to answer you! Seriously though, someone may do their homework, know their D.J's and places etc, but no venue is guaranteed to be busy - even if ‘Jesus Christ’ himself was D.Jing!....Apparently he's got some great records - NO I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE ALL BLO*DY 'O.V.O'!!!!!!!!!!!!!! — ‘The Lord Al-mighty’ has the right to choose what he plays (Save us a space in heaven 'J.C') Len

:lol: :lol: 5th Post and we're onto 'O.V.O' already - Now that has got to be a record! All the best, Len

Yes, all the time and has been discussed at length, lots of folk don't even bother going out now because it's 'imploded' - Great, now we ALL lose out - Nice one ......But I'm still hopeful that things will pan out, leaving the quality venues standing - albeit a little 'War Torn' All the best, Len

Hi ‘Mr Boogaloo’, The last time I saw you was at Hitchin Football Club yonks ago, I suppose we’re just ‘Soulin’ in different places…..This record (in my opinion) is worth at least £200.00......But (in this case) £150.00 because that is what you have offered.....Now the 'problem' with this record is, yes it may not be as 'rare as hens teeth' but it's one of those records that most people hang on to, which makes it very 'hard' as opposed to very ‘rare’ (Not a lot of difference if you think about it)…Whichever — THIS RECORD IS THE DOGS B*LLOCKS! Good luck with 'The Chase' mate and apologies if I've just put the price up - You did ‘welcome’ these comments! All the best, Len
