Tell ja what spent some time with Major Lance's daughter last night - quite a peach, also Clifford Curry plus some other gem like characters. Will post some pics tomorrow............

Actually I got to thinking about it last night, would this include soulies fom the North who moved down South? What about the ones from the South who moved up North ? Does it mean North of the Thames, Watford, Birmingham? And those guys from the Midlands - are they Northern Midlanders - if you come from Wales is that the North or just a lot of sheep ????? And as for the Jocks they're so far North they have almost come back round to somewhere just south of Bournemouth This is a burning issue that needs to be addressed and resolved before lunchtime today I hope it does anyway..........................

It was wonderful, sunny dry day, lots of tears (mostly from Neil -

I would think in the catergory "Daftest Questions on SS" this one wins 1st prize hands down

I was seeing if I could dress up in the same style of clothes worn circa '73...........that was until I dug out this old photo of me wearing the most ridiculous shirt ever made. This photo was taken in my garden just before leaving to go to the Torch. It was one of those "C'mon just one photo before you leave.......it's for your grandma" said my mum !! Needless to say I won't be wearing such stuff (mind you back then it was well avant-garde - the norverners were still wearing bovverboy stuff - albeit with longer hair)

Cab fare from O'Hare to Hotel is + - $45 - share then goes to about $55 so at about $25 a head you're sorted, the distance is only 17 miles. I've got a shared van, they're good fun, you get all sorts of weird and wonderful fellow travellers let alone the nutty drivers

We're off to Chicago for the Soul USA trip - there's 3 of us flying in from Europe (Continent) and Cleveland, Ohio, we have a suite and this will be stuck on the door.

There will prizes galore - a pair of Dave Rivers old green leather boots, Alan Day tank top replica, original Ford Transit wing mirror plus many, many more..............
