I nearly believed this Steve. It was only when you mentioned a semi final at United's ground that I realised it wasn't true

an I bet tha dint know Star Wars was originally set in Barnsley.... If Star Wars was set in Barnsley Chewbacca would look roughly the same except he'd only be about 5ft tall, from Kendray and called Spanner. He'd have the same amount of body hair but would also have tattoos, would permanently smell of drink and invariably sport either a Barnsley or England top. Obi-Wan Kenobi would invariably be referred to as Chief or Cocker by his cohorts. People trying to start a fight with him would address him as Wanky-Nobby Darth Vader would referred to as 'Elmit Head' or in moments of stress 'that dome-edded get' R2D2 would refuse to go out on the streets after 10pm because of the number of drunks who would try to stuff chip papers in his head casing or piss on him. He would also refuse to go near groups of young kids at any time because of the high risk of being spray painted/dumped in front of a speeding train/set on fire. Although proficient in over 3500 languages C3P0 would still be unable to understand anything anyone from Athersley said. He would regularly get beaten up for being a knacker-faced poof from Sheffield. The Millenium Falcon would have static strips, tinted windscreens and extra-flared exhaust ports. It would have a Barnsley Chronicle I Love Tarn Army sticker in the back window and a St Georges Cross SUN SUPPORTS OUR BOYS bumper sticker. Princess Leia would get captured by Darth Vader because it's hard to run very fast when you're wearing 5-inch platform heels and a tiny silver mini-skirt which keeps hiking up over your arse every two steps. And you've been a heavy smoker since you were 6. The best way to destroy the Death Star would not necessarily be a desperate all out attack. Two easy ways would be to alter its orbit so it passed through Grimethorpe and tell the locals it was full of Cockneys or leave it unattended in Alhambra car park. Or you could convert it into a huge Takeaway. Lines from the film as they would be uttered in the vernacular:- Han Solo "I've got a real bad feeling about this" translation: "Am Kackin Missen" "Bring 'em on! I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around." "Come right art you bastards Al tek ont lotton yer" "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid." "Bugger the mumbo - wot tha needs is a chuffin gret crickit bat" Darth Vader trying to shoot down Luke Skywalker -"The Force is strong in this one" "Thar allus Laikin abart, theee" Princess Leia - "You're a little short for a Stormtrooper aren't you?" "Ah dint think they took short-arses in t coppers?" "This bucket of bolts is never going to get us past that blockade." "We nackered in this peece er crap" Admiral Motti - "Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader." "You think you're that hard, yer southern get - artside!!" Obi Wan - "I felt a great disturbance in the Force." It's looking black over Bill's Mother's" Luke to the Emperor -"Your overconfidence is your weakness." "You think yer really summat, dunt yer"

was it this one Steve? Kes 2000 A letter from Casper Jr _____________________ I'm fed o' this bloody game! Our Jud's gone and done it again, the bastard. He's tekken mi motorised skateboard to work this mornin'. Sod. Since he got that new job he thinks he's bloody it. He goes on and on about how hard work it is having to answer t' bloody phone every thirty seconds, having to put yer hand up to have a wee and to mek t'time up after work. But thats nowt to do wi me. I don't care what they say about there being no other work around. I dunt care what anybody sez, I'm not workin down t' sodding Call Centre. "Ayup! Post Office Inquiry line, Billy Casper 'ere! What the chuffin' 'ells that want nar, yer southern puff!" Dunt think I'd fit in somehow.. This mornin in assembly they were braying on about drugs and just say no and all that. Fat chance. Theres so much skag in this village they've started callin' t' place Colombia!. Macca were trying to get me out trainspotting last neet - an' they shut t' line ages back! Round bike sheds its all skunk, blow and billy whizz. And they're not characters from t'Beano or t' Dandy neither. Half o' t class is gazing out t' winder and overdosing on Mars bars, other half aven't slept since last November and waint shut up for nobody. Teachers are no good - they're so scared of getting accused of abuse they go on neet classes to learn how to look mean and give dirty looks. Mr Grice had us int' office after and he stared at us for five minutes really hard then came over and breathed on us. I'd rather have t' stick! I were late fer games n'all. Got into trouble for having a pair of Cicas and a second hand Donnie shirt. "Wheres your Nikes, lad!" he shouts. "And whats this kit? I want Premiership lad! None of your conference crap! Wheres yer note!" So he digs out this Nottingham Forest Pierre Van Hooijdonk shirt and forces me to wear it. Bastard. I told him I'm going on strike! Then out on t' astro turf we gets into this big nonsense about Mr Sugden. He'd decided he were David Beckham and goes round mumbling in this stupid voice, flicking his fringe and practicing his free kicks. We told him its all Leeds Utd these days but he bangs on about being Champions of Europe and his slapper girlfriend were cheering him on from her Ford Culprit in't car park. "Anyway," he mumbles. "Ronaldo's int wash!" As usual he keeps us late with the obligatory injury-time comeback. Of course to do this he's got to come up with a few injuries. It were my turn to get the Roy Keane treatment from Macca. I wondered why he were shaving his head at half time.

Kings Of Soul On Ebay
I fully expected it to fetch at least 4 figures and I've seen little sign of a recession with some of the prices some records have fetched. It's still rare despite the 9 Chris sold and still a hard record to find and very desirable.
-
Kings Of Soul On Ebay
why the surprise with the end price? Chris Anderton sold the 9 copies he brought back for £1500 didn't he, maybe he'll confirm if he reads this.
-
Kings Of Soul On Ebay
yeah remember it pretty sure John Parker got it. It was discussed on here so maybe a scan and soundfile can be found when search facility back and working.

Welcometo Soul Source Cecil. Really good to someone who recorded such a legendary and revered record of the northern soul scene in amongst us mere mortals.

But ten pounds for an all-nighter, 10 hours of music, isn't expensive in today's market IMO. It has been that price as I said for some years so the paying customer is still getting a good deal if you ask me. I can't afford to go out to the extent I did but I choose my noights out now rather than go out for the sake of it to a sub-standard night like I used to. I agree petrol does have a bearing on the full cost of the night out. I do understand the arguement that others in this topic are making but I wonder if they truly understand how cheap they have had it all these years and the true cost of putting on an all-nighter with a top dj line up? As for taking your own alcohol....this is having an effect on promoters with venue owners seeing what is going on and they aren't happy. The beer sales is usually where the owner makes his money, there is no wonder venues for all-nighters are getting harder to come by with venue owners preferring to make do with a "normal" night due to the sales in alcohol is far greater than if they allowed an all-nighter, staff costs are down too with the reduced hours. I really doubt whether a discount can be afforded....I don't know what sort of discount is being sought in this topic, seen BOGOF mentioned but there is no way IMO a promoter could afford that, not an all-nighter promoter anyway. The promoter would almost certainly be out of pocket. Would a quid or two really make any difference to peoples thinking? It wouldn't mine.

I've played it out but the one that really does it for me is I Can't Take It No More. Been playing this out, getting noticed and a good reaction. I put them up in refosoul last year.
