Thanks Steve All Good here my mate. Hope you and Lou are good. Loved the picture of your Grandson. pete

This is no way compares with some of my far more skillful pals in terms of quality. But, here are two pictures of my brothers rescue dog Betsy. I think she's a Belgian Shepherd. My brother has had her for about a year now. The first photo is when he chose her at a rescue centre - she had been so badly beaten and half starved. Whenever a human went near her she was so fearful she weed, whimpered and cowered. The second picture is of a contented, confident and beautiful dog; 12 months loving care, and twice a week conditioning and training at a local club (which she loves) she's amazing. It is also very coincidental that Betsy was a rescue dog from Romania, and some of you may know that I have strong links there. Well, I hope I can post them both now! Pete

Fantastic Johnny. One of the the things I appreciate about this thread is seeing posters gain in enthusiasm and professionalism in their craft. Great stuff. Pete

Artistics - smoother, deeper vocals. Easy call for me. Pete

Left a copy of a fairly expensive 45 in the car once. The sun turned it into a black vinyl fruit bowl. I've mentioned this before but I also inadvertently frisbeed a copy of Prayin by Harold Melvin from Lady Bay Bridge right into the the River Trent.

A real southern feel. Nice one Rick. Pete

Yup remember hearing that played Roburt. I wouldn’t have without you posting it. Thanks Pete

I suspect that the soul packs of today bare no resemblance to the 70’s ones. As in antique dealing’s everyone knows the prices of everything these days. Pete

And I’m going to be a proper little Madam! 🤗 She’s a lovely little girl Mal. The biggest regret of my life was not having any little ones. Pete

Mm. I was born there Dave.

Nice. Ill be lucky to get a day at Skeggy.

Thats pretty cool Josep. Peter

Another from my Twitter feed

Hi Chris I've not seen a show mentioned recently - probably missed it. Anyway, always enjoyable. Ill get on this tomorrow night. Hope all is well. Pete

If my memory is correct - and I wouldn't stake any money on it, my first introduction to Tina, was via a little portable radio, late at night - might have been Froggys radio show, but equally that may well be bollox. Anyway this was the first track of hers that got me hooked - I did post it a while back and it was received well. I love her voice and I love the really messy bit at the end. She's also on my swoon list. Pete

I love Teena Marie (RIP). I think she's only had one mention on SS - so here we go. She made some great records and is right up there as a vocalist - check her out, you wont be disappointed. There a few versions of this. Ave it. Pete

It was shite back then and it’s still shite now.

How can anyone retain any ounce of integrity by playing illegal counterfeit records? I’m just a thick lad so perhaps you could explain the notion of honesty by playing bootlegged records. Pete

With chips and curry sauce. Nice. Pete

The fire will have a devastating impact on wildlife and the country side in general. I hope that the fire fighters and everyone else who is helping are kept safe and their efforts are successful in bringing the fire under control. Pete

Cheers Rick. I seem to remember him having a massive cross hanging round his neck. Yes, I understand he had a great collection. Pete

Hi Rick Is JC the geezer with the long grey hair. I always think he looked a bit like Jesus! Is that where the JC comes fro,? Pete

One of the many records which I had stolen some years ago. 😡

Penlee Lifeboat - an act of incredible bravery that ended in catastrophic tragedy. I worked for thew RNLI in the 90's - a mere fundraising manager. I did have the privilege of going out on a number of rescues on different all weather class boats. Not many people know that the weather conditions can be so bad that regular crew members get sea sick and succumb to hypothermia. Pete

Gonna ask Mike for OTO forum. Original threads only.
