============= Still have the black one and an enamel one on my bag

============= They'll be naming a cathedral after you if you carry on like this

=============== There you go stealing Steve's thunder

========= Cheers, Those really were the days eh

=============== There's always exceptions Steve, anyway haven't you got a labour government to help bring down?

Tend to get the feeling that non dancers moan more than dancers??

================ People in any walk of life tend to steer conversations toward subject matter they're comfortable with, hence the diversity within threads. It's just a fact of life. Winnie :-)

============= I can think of a few worse than you Si

============== I was thinking more along the lines of ........ an event appears in lookbacks, someone who hasn't been there goes on the thread criticises the playlists and the people who've been there, telling all and sundry there are much better events we should be going to. Basically they're plugging their mates venues, which is only one step behind asking for a spot

============ esperanto?

Back on topic soz. reviews of places where the reviewer hasn't been

========= 5,601 sleeps to your fortieth Kylee

============= he could be one of the nasty men, rather than one of the old ones?

The 'visionaries', who create the rules, not realising some people can enjoy themselves without the strict guidelines.....

================== David, Went to your site for a drool over the old dome days and the link wouldn't work, kept taking me off to 'homestead', any suggestions? Win:-)

I read the replys and they didn't seem to be censoring debate, just saying come and see it and then comment? Saw the original, thought it was good, if I was in the area would go and see it just to compare. Winnie :-)

=============== There are a lot of returnees, myself included 10 or 11 years ago now, but there are also a lot of new faces, not youngsters but people who have discovered that there is a social club for the 40 plus. That IMO is one of the reasons for so many events springing up over the last 5 years. A lot of these 'new faces' don't really want to do a nighter, or travel, so local events are increasingly popular. This also has the effect of restricting playlists to better known northern and motown often particularly relevant to an area. I was out Friday and won't mention the area, but almost all of it's venues have the same playlists/punters, fine if you haven't been out for a month or so, but if you're out every week a bit dull. Have to agree with Chalky about certain events playing 'different/underplayed' a lot of the time it's a bit mid-tempo and not focussed on the dancers, which I've always thought this scene was about. Ideally there would be that happy medium at all the events but as the two types of punters are poles apart it probably wouldn't survive. Winnie :-)

I like it, maybe a bit quick for these old legs to dance to though

Wouldn't fancy the stairs

============ No prob Tel, it's not the best record I've heard, but it's certainly not the worst

========== No mate, I'm a dancer and I like it

Sounds fine to dance to speedwise, think the last 10 seconds are a bit messy, but other than that, a dancer would probably like it. Winnie :-)

========= Sammy's a great all round dancer, but Vernon's spins are faster. Tall Paul from Bolton way is the only one I've seen close Winnie :-)

============== Told me the video is no longer available Si
