Sharon Cooper

Don know if its already been said because I haven`t got time to read the whole thread but I reckon the One Republic version of `Mercy` is far superior (Apologies if someone has already said this) Sharon

to true, I don't buy records i hate, can't see the point, besides if i did somebody would then come and say, play this for me and then i would feel obligated, that apart I hate that dreadful Interpaly and cringe whenever i hear it. cris

Just goes to show, however much we criticise E bay Lenny Curtis on the Spanish issue sold for just over $200, £600 less than Jms chris

OK if anybody else has got one they can't sell, please don't delay in PMing me, I'll be willing to take if of your hands at nextto no value at all. After Paul that is.

cheers Jaco,

Can somebody give me a value on this. Was gonna buy one at Prestatyn but relented when the sellar (dealer) showed me the copy, pretty rough but wanted £150.00 for it. Happy to be corrected by anybodies response but has ever the dealer had "sold one earlier for £***.**, do they really think anybody ever believes that. chris

Seen it go for over a ton regulary, personally would'nt give 5p for it., no seriously i would'nt

Yep forgot lots of things, thought about a few others since, like Madam Pompador hair spray that my mum used, in a little squeeze bottle that used to gunge up, My dad used to spit on his hands and stroke back his hair, eeehhhh. Lard sandwiches and Spangle sweets. At christmas we often got a Compendium of Games. Morris Minors and Ford Anglias and Triumph Heralds, eeehhh llaasssss, them were days.

Yeah, love this tune, play it regulary at Pilsley from the LP, gets played at R. Royce too. Chris

Thanks Kev!! Was hoping you hadn`t noticed the large rodent outside the back doors at the Welfare!! Can`t wait to get to Prestatyn and move into the 21st century by feeding that electic meter!! Anyway, thanks for the birthday wishes you cheeky young whippersnapper! xx

Hang on a minute!: I`m missing out on something here! Wot ; No spondoolers!!

Yep: regularly there every third Saturday at Pilsley. 99.99% of the time people are pleasant and raring to go! I sit inside the main room so don`t miss out on too much; just occasionally though it can be frustrating when theres something played that I`d love to dance to but can`t as theres a crowd of people waiting to pay! Sharon

The bus that left Ilkeston Co op for Cleethorpes was stopped on a couple of occasions. Details of which are hazy to me lately!! S

Thanks for the memories!! and the best wishes. Sharon

Ooppsss better qualify that! dick nurse was the Nit Nurse (headlice)

Happy Birthday to all celebrating their birthday today Especially Bridget (Sharon) my Misssus & eamsey both 50. When they were born there was no Family car, television, phones,(wealthy people only) mobile phones, Ipods, cd players, tape recorders dvd players, no computers, no fridges, washing machines, dish washers (Again perhaps only by the wealthiest), most houses didn't have a shower or bath and in sharons case did'nt even have an inside toilet. No Tescos,Morrisons, Asdas, no holidays abroad, East coast was the place to go and no cheap flights. people had carbuncles, boils and bee stings were treated with Blue Bags and Poultices were often slapped onto bruises & sprains. No Chinese take aways, no Kebabs, Mcdonalds, Frankie & Bennies or retail parks with Currys, Pc world and Pets at home stores on them, No Ikea, no Sky and football was confined to Saturday afternoons at 3.00 pm Schools had witches for head teachers, you got caned and have visits from the dick nurse and you had a medical every year (cough please) You went to the pub for your pint, bingo or a working mens club, miners welfare for entertainment or the occasional visit to the city for the 'pictures' but there were Flicks on just about every corner oh yeah and trains were Steam driven (in the main). No northern soul!!

I was 11/12 in 1970 and used to go across the road from where I lived to Cinderhill church hall where there was a youth club and disco. Remember dancing to `Stoned Love` (Had a tweed `midi skirt` which I thought looked the bees knees) went to various local school disco`s at Padstow (Bestwood) and William Crane (Strelley) where there were some lads who danced `northern`: Progressed on to Basford Hall Miners Welfare (Creepers) where Rob Smith DJ`d and got to know him, his brother and his mates Phil Jones and Ian Walker (Can remember Reparata and the Delrons `Panic` being played and Phil spinning so fast his watched flew off and across the dance hall) Ian had an old Bedford van painted purple with various slogans daubed on it ( )and he asked if we wanted to go up to Wigan with him one Saturday (That would have been summer 74) we went and then went to some soul do`s he DJ`d at at The Carlton Hotel (Again Summer 74) Went our own way then (Me and my mate Janet) to the Brit, up to Cleethorpes, Wigan etc and used to cadge lifts with a lad called Gary who was the mate of Chris Cooper (who is Mr Bridget).....The rest is history or so they say. Sharon

It was the Bali Hai, downstairs at the Palais with the revolving dancefloor. I remember being there and Rob Smith was in the place but don`t think he was Djing. (Memory fading fast!) There was also the Intercon (Vic centre) on a Tuesday which I remember going to after Creepers (Basford Hall M W). Colmans (Off Clumber street) on a Thursday I reckon also. Went to them all (1974/5) but details are a bit sketchy now! Sharon

Very eloquently and succinctly put Mr H; I think that you`re spot on. S

How about the Brit around 71-79 or the Manchester Unity in Beeston, thats if anybodys still compus mentus from that era. apart from me that is. chris

Flippin heck, used to stand outside with a bottle of Portello (pop) bought from a Shippos pub off licence,while my oldest brother Barry was boppin inside, think i was about 14. Chris

I was wondering what happened to my coat? so it was you was it, well can't trust anybody. Picked up a Bomber jacket from the 70ts shop in Nott'm just recently then promtly left it at a soul night a year or so ago. No it wasn't there when i went back. Somebody, Somewhere, I know you are out there.

Hi thread already covering this. see At Last Recognition from the BBc,

Hi will anybody who can help with my web site please see Techno page and answer my question, ppppppppppppppplllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssss ssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee, somebodyChris

No, I wasn't refering to any N/s Djs or venues. thread started with the recognition by the BBC of the Torch. My comment was about BBC djs and Payola, as its called, spinning such dross when they could have been instrumental in promoting such Artists has J.J. Barnes and the likes. Perhaps then they wouldn't have ended up has car park attendants, grave diggers and dying without as much as a head stone to mark their passing. chris
