OK then. Everybody, you can stop donating now. Thank you once again for the fantastic response, you should all be very proud of yourselves. Now all I have to do is hand over the money and that'll be that.

No thats bollocks and I'm not happy about someone saying that, it was just an IDEA I happened to mention that if it went over a certain amount maybe we could give the rest to cancer research but that was all it was, just a thought.

I just thought people would like to know that we just had our 150th donator! also... here's a recipt for a withdrawal of £400 to my account you've already seen the previous two withdrawals of £1000 each with this £400 and the credit card money, well I'm sure you can all do the maths F*CKING HELL!!!!!!!

This was also a giveaway prize at our local fair too so they travelled 150 miles further down south! (Spyder Turner was too)

Dave I have a white label bootleg of Earl van Dyke - 6 By 6 - blank label, poor sound quality, it came from one of the Chateau Impney dj's collections.

Dave I know where you're coming from and I know what you mean but let's not fall out on this topic, if anyones got anything to say about anyone else's comments how about starting another topic and keeping this one free from the usual argy bargy, come on it's christmas and we've all done something that'll keep those cockles warm for a while to come. Leave Rob alone, everyone is entitled to an opinion. Right on.

Hi Sweetie

No, no, it was a fair question and I pm'd Rob and hopefully answered it, someone was always going to ask it, let's leave it at that shall we...don't want to close the thread yet as some people have probably been drunk since Xmas eve and haven't seen it yet

He's been trying to flog some stuff on here. Trouble is, sad to say, the customers; I know a lot of his plight is down to the fact that money he was relying on from record sales did not materialise, meaning he was short on his payments. At one point in the 90's I was unemployed for 4 years and I had to sell not only my entire record collection but a lot of other things too; it f*cking hurt like nothing before. I didn't want to see that happening to someone else. But yes, you're right, he could have done that, but he didn't, and time was running out.

I have improved since the kids came along though Dave

I doubt that

Here is confirmation that I have withdrawn another £1000 from paypal into my bank account. So that means 2 x £1000 plus the money on the cards yesterday £130 and I've taken more on the card since. I'll post up all the receipts so everyone can see what is going on. It's best this way.

Wonderful?

You get yourself sorted mate, it's all taken care of here, stop buying shit Studio One records

Paul that is fantastic but what if I auction them and get less than you think they should go for??

Well I've just got up and guess what, another dozen or so contributions in my inbox, thanks again to everyone who's sent money, offered money, records etc, PLEASE DON'T SEND ANYTHING IF IT'S GOING TO LEAVE YOU SHORT! But thank you for the lovely offers. I was told maybe I shouldn't announce totals as you never know who may be reading but just for the purposes of this let's just say it's my money and I can give it to who I like. As it stands this morning we have had payments from 111 people and I would say 30% of those don't know John. The total stands at... £2205

Oi, get off my thread!

It's safe as houses mate, honestly, plus my missus will shout at you if you phone at this time of night :-)

Did you sort it Del or are you stuck, one of the boffins on here will sort you out!

Thought you might like to read this, someone who contributed, not sure whether from my mailing list or off soul source but it doesn't matter, he sent £20, never mind the bit about my gesture, what about HIS, sending money to someone he doesn't know, to help someone who doesn't know? "Being in Atlanta, USA, I don't know Johnny or anyone actually, but a small donation to help another person get on their feet seems just like the spirit of Christmas. With your kind gesture, you've helped many of us feel a little better today. Thanks for doing that, Martin" And there's been loads like that, including people apologising for only sending a fiver when they probably couldn't afford that. I have thanked every single person individually via a reply to their paypal emails, I really mean it, thank you so much, what a great day it's been for the Northern Soul Scene, who says we can only bicker and bitch!

Right I'm going to have to turn it in at 9 spend a couple of hours with Davina so I apologise for not responding to any PM's I may get til later or til tomorrow morning, can I just say once again, what a fantastic performance by Soul Source members, talk about all pulling together, give yourselves a round of applause, I'm treating myself to a Baileys now, chin chin

Johnny Fingers (left) receives a cheque from Pete Smith (right)

Yes mate, should be safe to pm them or send to pete.smith@freeuk.com (number, expiry, security code) ta!

If you forgot to put Fingers on the paypal payments it doesn't matter because I had f*ck all in there today so every penny is accounted for, bastards didn't buy any records off me, too busy giving money away
